Hello anyone here knows the basic rate for engine scanning sa casa thanks

Where are you located? If you're around the Makati/Taguig area you can call up Mhonworks on FB and see if he's available for home service. The street of his shop is currently impassable due to drainage works.

There's someone else in the Bicutan area and another up north.

maybe rats gnawed some important electrical connections.. these past few weeks of rain can drive them to look for cozy and warm shelter.. which the engine bay is a perfect candidate..

Thanks for your replies sirs, borrowed my uncles scanner it seems that it has faulty wheel sensors. And a brake pedal switch. If so meron ba dito nagpalit na agad ng piyesa na to. My odo reading is 62Tkm. Checked the sensors it mukhang intact naman siya no putol or kagat thanks

Maliit ang chance na sabay sabay bibigay ang mga sensors/switches.

Possible gaya ng sabi ng iba na may bundle ng wiring na naputol, tapos related sa mga sensors/switches mentioned.

Kung same ang front at rear wheel sensor, puwede i exchange para ma confirm kung sensor ang sira.

Kapitbahay naming 2014 daily driver nagpalit na ng brake switch. Symptom: ayaw na magstart.

Castrol official lazada store.

This one is recommended, meets ACEA A3/A5 Euro blend requirement for our M3's Skyactiv engine.

Anyone here still following the manufacturer's recommended oil change interval of every 6 months or 10,000km whichever comes first?

Every since my 3 year free pms expired last year, I intend to just stick with the 10,000km oil change interval. I don't see the real need to follow the frequent 6 month interval especially this pandemic season where I don't get to use the car often.

This Jalopnik article sums up my take on this frequent oil change interval myth

"Yet this wasteful cycle continues largely because the automotive service industry, while fully aware of the technological advances, continues to preach the 3,000-mile gospel as a way to keep the service bays busy."

Your DI engine will thank you for proper oil & closer change intervals.

Since I'm not using my dear M3 a lot, I will do the oil change with the 10T km or 1 year interval whichever comes first, at least during this pandemic season.

But yes it's true that a good regular oil change is good for keeping those carbon deposits from building up with DI engines

I have "cheated". I am now past two months or so but I am shy of 2,000 km to make it 10,000 km so with my regular route again of about 160 km weekly, I'll soon change my oil.

The lazy bug got me again!

What's your current version? If you have FW older than v31 then you have to upgrade to v31 before installing v70.

Are you going to DIY the kit install? If you're having a shop install it then most of the time they already have the FW and the upgrade is part of the installation.

Sadly the FW source server I got my installers from got shut down so the links I have are useless.

[yapoy86]

its older than v31.. checking online for the links to no avail.. all are not available or removed..

planning to DIY the install. i tried removing the center console to hide some cables.. its easy pala!.. that's why i plan to install the kit.. but i need the firmware updates prior installing the kit otherwise daw it will not work..

[JohnM]

I'll check my archives if I still have v31. I only have v70 on my active drive.

And yes FW update muna before installing the kit. I was running for months on v70 while waiting for supplies to arrive.

Hi are you part of Mazda 3 Skyactive group? If not, you might want to join. There are lots of helpful people there. Some of them might have what you are looking for. Just search for the group in FB.
