All New 2017 Mazda 3

[travajante]

Had it scanned this morning and they told me na may tubig daw na nahalo sa fuel.. they added mazda's deposit cleaner sa fuel and reset the system.

After that the error message is gone.. drove it for a few minutes and when i parked it and started it again after a few hours, the check engine warning is there again [emoji20]

If one wants more to know than just be told, grab an OBD scanner. You can use your smartphone w/ an ELM327 bluetooth/wifi dongle plugged onto the OBD port. Torque is a popular app that can read & clear generic codes. I personally prefer the ScangaugeII....perma-hooked in each of ours.
What code popped on the scanner? If you indeed had bad gas, it should've been drained.

Fuel is already drained and the check engine warning is already removed. Still notice the hard start.. is this normal? Should i purchase those injector cleaners?

Before you proceed any further, what specific codes popped, sir?

Sorry sir wasnt able to check what code appeared in the scanned. What happened is i regularly use Shell fuel save when re-fueling and when i travelled to the other island, there no shell station in the area and i remember that the agent told me that i can use Caltex silver as an alternative, thats when the problem started but it didnt start right away siguro after a day pa. When they diagnosed the vehicle, they told me na as much as possible just use shell. Actually when i was in th3 casa , there are 2 vehicles that were serviced that has the same problem and after a few minutes a mazda 2 drops by same problem also. When i talked to the owner, he told me that he uses Caltex and the same check engine warning is displayed in his dashboard

Codes will help & guide on the proper approach.

Unlike those annoying LED headlights from bulky SUVs like the Fortuner and Everest, Mazda's adaptive LED headlights can reduce glare for incoming vehicles. Better visibility without compromising visual comfort for other motorists.

Mazda Recognized for Adaptive LED Headlights | Philippine Car News, Car Reviews, Automotive Features, and New Car Prices | ************

Adaptive LED Headlights (ALH) features LED array high-beam technology that splits the LEDs into independently controllable blocks. ALH uses a camera to detect oncoming and preceding vehicles, but instead of switching off the high beams entirely to avoid impairing other drivers’ vision, ALH shuts off only the LEDs shining in their specific direction. So, the high beams remain on at all times, enhancing visibility and safety at night when most fatal traffic accidents occur.

ALH also comes with wide-distribution low beams, which add LEDs to the sides of the headlamps to shed light where conventional headlights do not. Highway mode, meanwhile, is another ALH feature that automatically adjusts the forward aim of the headlamps upwards when travelling at highway speeds to illuminate road signs and potential obstacles earlier.

I never appreciated this feature until I tried it. It's great! I can clearly see how the light will adjust whenever there's an incoming vehicle on my left.

When I'm approaching another vehicle, the "middle" light will be low while the rest towards left (if there is no approaching car) and right is on high beam.

Great feature, really! The question is, how much it will cost if ever you need to replace this.

Now that's the big question [emoji52]

I'm going to sell the M3 after it reaches 100Tkm so that I don't have to worry about fixing these expensive features [emoji23] . I reckon by that time an electric car will be the pragmatic choice hehe

Hi po sa lahat. Matagal na po akong nagbabasa sa thread na ito pero hindi po ako nag reregister, ngayon pa lang. Hehehe. Maraming salamat po sa thread na ito. Marami po akong natutunan. Tanong ko lang po, nung pagkuha ninyo sa Mazda 3 ninyo, may napansin ba kayong whistle sound (parang turbo blow-off valve ang tunog) kapag nag che-change ng gear ang tranny? May nabasa po akong previous reply dito sa thread pero wala pong nakasagot sa tanong na iyon. Pansin na pansin ko lang po kasi yung whistle sound. By the way po, 2018 Mazda 3 1.5V Hatch Eternal Blue po yung unit ko. Brand new ko po kinuha sa dealership. 7 kms pa lang yung odo nung kinuha ko. Ngayon, nasa 3,600+kms na. Second Mazda na po namin ito. Our first is a 2016 Mazda CX-5 Pro. Wala po akong napansin na whistle sound sa CX-5 namin. 36,000+kms na po yung CX-5 namin. Salamat po sa makasasagot. Special mention sir travs :-) marami po akong natutunan sa mga reply mo. Salamat po.

Regarding the adaptive LED Headlight, meron po nito sa 2016 CX-5 namin. I've used it many times before. Pero to be honest, its a hit or miss. Kung nasa very dim environment ka, yung tipong wala talagang ilaw, tapos may street light sa malayo, na dedetect nya yun at mag-o-off yung ilaw sa doon na portion. Delikado po siya kung mabilis ang takbo ng sasakyan. Okay lang siya kung mahina ang takbo mo. Kaya ako, hindi ko na siya gaanong ginagamit. Mas safe parin yung manual kang nag-aadjust from low to high beam, especially kung mabilis takbo mo sa gabi.

change ng gear from 1st to 2nd? do you notice this on only the first 10 minutes?

It is most noticeable from 1st to 2nd gear, but i also hear it in the other gear changes. I can hear it even after driving the 3 for a long time. Ill try to record it next time so that you can hear it. Share ko lang dito.

whistling or whining sound?

Just here to share, sir. No mention necessary.
The swish upon shifts? That's normal, sir. It's more pronounced on the smaller, less insulated Skyactivs & on the higher, quicker revving 1.5s. The CX5, besides being a 2.0 or 2.5 SkyG, also has more deadening than the 3. One can notice it even more on the bare basic 2. If you wanna drown it out, a good bolt-on Racing Beat axleback will do the trick.[emoji4]

Below is a screenshot from an article noting the behavioral differences between the 1.5 & 2.0 SkyGs in NDs..
Grats & enjoy both your Skyactivs, sir!!!

It's more of a swish sound. I'm just a bit worried because I've read somewhere that a whistling sound on the tranny means trouble. But anyway, if it's just normal then so be it. Good to hear na normal lang pala. Hehe. Yes the CX-5 has hood insulator but the 3 does not. It could be a factor why the sound inside the engine bay is more pronounced on the 3. Better to buy one at Mikstore. I hope they ship here to Davao. Salamat po sa mga nag reply :-)

No worries, sir. Besides not spending for the bonnet insulation, Mazda will tell you the delete is for better heat dissipation & lightening. I never even bothered planning for one.[emoji4]
Enjoy the Mown3rship!!!

The doorsill trim plates sir. Prone sa scratches kasi. Hindi ko kasi nagustuhan yung design ng available doorsill trim plates sa Mikstore. When I looked at the Mazda USA website, yun ang gusto ko sana.
