All New 2017 Mazda 3

[bongbojador]

For that "tok" sound and you suspect coming from the left side suspension area, have the casa check the engine support number 4. That piece is faulty and have been the one that could easily be damaged. Pasig casa would always put an insulation first. But I think they new what the real culprit is. Go to Quezon Ave casa instead.

Sir, normal lang yata ang ganyan sa lahat ng cars, suspension parts are not made of stainless steel kaya it's normal rust to form around that area.

But compared to the 10 yr old Mazda 3 we have, those rusts at the 1 yr old M3 are much worse.

As what vinrem said, that's normal, jojo sir. Parts are uncoated. If you want some protection w/o the undercoat mess.....Get this product....

Thanks for this! Is there a local equivalent for this that can be bought at Ace Hardware or Blade?

Any idea how much this would cost to repair/replace this in case it isn't covered by my comprehensive insurance? Any help appreciated. Thank you.

That should be covered. Front bumper skin is around 20ish + painting.

This is covered by insurance. Report it to your insurance. Go to Mazda casa and ask for a quotation and give it to your insurance. Then dealership and insurance will talk. It would take 3 - 4 weeks for dealership to fix it.

Can this be sprayed even though there's already rust? Or is it only for prevention?

Yes to both treatment & prevention.

Same on my unit. 2 years. Have you gone to beaches or coastal areas? I've been to alot and sometimes stayed for a night or two. Also, weekly parking in Mall of Asia.

Beach area not yet. I've driven the M3 to the northern mountains way back April.

[RedlineJunkie]

My front tires got punctured and patched twice each already. Is it still safe to use? Can you say still safe for long drives eg: Vigan or Bicol?

The new LTO plate comes with an RFID/QR Code sticker for the windshield. Now, if your windshield is tinted, that'll be a problem after the expiration of the sticker. Here's tip though.

You can also use a lamination sheet and transparent tape.

For those musing on putting more herspers into their M3
