*Sir Travs, the fin have a rubber base, but to really prevent a leak, did you put a 3M double sided tape?

OE fin needs no 3M tape nor sealant, sir. It won't leak.[emoji4]

Did the same thing with my mats but entirely copied the OE mat.

Anybody tried ordering this?

What is the size of the screw for plate number at the rear of Mazda 3?

Good day.
Hopefully someone could help me out here. Had my engine double checked again and they can't reciprocate the squealing sound during cold starts on my engine.. It particularly happens specially when I'm going downhill. (Also how do i embed a video here so at least I could have you see the video i made while I was driving and eliciting the noise). Could it be a brake issue? A pulley issue? TIA

A squealing sound on cold starts might mean a worn belt. Have those checked.

Had it checked, no issues as per casa. Belt tension was good as well. 18k on the odo and a year old...
here's the video

Squealing sound mazda 3 2017 - YouTube

aircon was on, happens on uphill or downhill but more on downhill. Will probably check with aircon off..

the sound isnt from the brakes. its some pulley of some sort

Could it have stemmed from the broken front engine support they replaced? It took them at least 7 months to have that replaced when I noticed the "tok" sounds previously. All the suspension issues had been resolved already and now I'm getting this issue.. The squeal can't be ellicited when stationary btw, only happens when in motion. Really suspecting the belts, tensioners or probably a pulley. sound emitted originates on the passenger side.

does it happen when you start the engine?

Some short squeaks yes but cannot be audible if your in an area that isn't as quiet as is in our village... The loud, long squeaks though are as what you heard on the video when in motion. I may have to submit this video evidence so they'll have to look/investigate more.

A failing belt tensioner damper should show it leaking & produce a random grinding rattle upon start up on some. If that's good, Stock Engine might be right on some pulley.

Can't hear any sir..

[travajante]

A faulty bearing on a pulley or a faulty pulley should produce some grinding even when stationary right? Can't hear any though..

Yes, doc, but let em check the belt...though I doubt it's that. More like pulley/bearing/tensioner.

Would it still be road worthy? My worry is my schedule doesn't permit me to immediately bring it to the dealership and my other car is on the fritz as well so am stuck using my M3. No error codes BTW.. Can I officially declare my car a lemon? Suspension issues, Faulty side mirror retractors, probable tensioner/pulley issues..

Too early for crank pulley. That will cause you codes. Belts can prematurely go if there is some misalignment or resistance. Other pulleys can randomly fail. Check the tensioner for oil leak. It's that lil shock looking thing on the passenger side of the engine. Visible once you pop the bonnet.

Shoot! These M3's are effin noisy! Generating unwanted noises. Performance is superb but these noises are bugging me. Mine is on front driver side suspension. Have a limited time also to visit dealership.

Better have the engine mounts inspected as well. It took them a while to know that it was my front engine support that was busted and took the long route of having the suspension fixed first before they looked into it. Hence the tiring process of going in the dealership for inspection, releasing the unit and await approval of warranty claim, then going back to the dealership for the actual repairs/replacement. Am already getting tired of going in and out there due to the different issues my unit has.

Yeah, it's a lemon indeed ... Sell your Mazda 3 and get a Honda ...
