Recall: Mazda 3- Nala-laglag ang makina?

[rfb_arki]

Palpak nga daw ang Mazda sabi nung mga mekanikong nakausap ko.Kaya mahina benta sa Pinas.Yung Mazda 323 (Familia-big body) model 1996 ng barkada ko inayawan ng mekaniko kasi alang spareparts. Binenta 130t lang kahit makinis pa. Yung mazda 626 (1994) model ng isang ka-offcemate ko, 120t benta, nag-o-overheat.Yung kapitbahay ko may mazda astina, ala narin.mahirap maintenance.


Diba ang Mazda nag-doble cross sa Francisco Motors?Baka siguro nakakarma dito pinas.

eng eng na mekaniko...alang spare parts? overheat? tsk tsk tsk...kawawa lang magpapagawa sa mekaninkong ito...

We must hang around in a different section of town... because almost all mechanics I've met are deficient. Or maybe your definition of "idiot" is far more generous than mine.

My personal experience dealing with mechanics is that you better know your car very well, otherwise they'll take you for a ride with their uninformed speculations and cost you a pretty penny.

Regarding the conspiracies, you are quite active over there in the PHUV thread, apologies if you're not the poster who keeps seeing "big boy" conspiracies everywhere and they'll steal his innovative designs etc. etc. I can't tell you guys apart!

I mean there you were going about how Mazda "back-stabbed" Francisco Motors and so now they're getting karma. That's the sort of no-sense zealot-ism I find in the PHUV thread. QED.

conspiracies, "can' tell you guys apart in PHUV thread," back-stabbed, non-sense zealot-ism--nice words sir just for a mere adverse opinion about mazda.

Are you a part owner/investor of Mazda of Japan? That a non-sense zeolot-ism type of comment from a PHUV thread poster might affect the sales of mazda? Kasi sa reply mo sa post ko parang masyado kang apektado sa negative comments about mazda.

Oo sir, kawawa ang magpagawa sa eng-eng na mekaniko. Kawawa rin ang may kotse kung walang makuhang spareparts at pag- nag-o-overheat ang sasakyan, perwisyo sa bulsa.

You see, this is your problem. You're fixated on your stupid mechanic friend's opinion.

1) ANY old car will overheat, it's inevitable. How about this: my friend's 1996 Sentra overheated on the road, warped block, had to replace for 20K. MY 626 has overheated SO MANY times, but it's still working.

2) Mazda spare parts are all over the place, you just know how to look. QED, your mechanic is stupid.

[niky]

My cousin's 1994 Civic overheated maybe five times in the three or four years he had it.

Jpdm: again, please don't jump to conclusions about other posters. orly_andico is a long-time poster here... and he's posted about problems with his 626 and his disatisfaction with his Mazda3's fuel consumption... yet you accuse him of being connected to Mazda? Like I've told you before when you got into a fight with Mazdamazda... look up a poster's history before accusing him of anything.

Like orly says... it doesn't pay to put too much faith in what most mechanics think or say. I've met some mechanics who could put an engine together blindfolded, and I've met those who were full of it.

I've been responsible, over the years, for maintaining almost a dozen vehicles... I've seen mechanics put pistons in backwards... adjust idling screws the wrong way... put an engine back together wrong... forget to tighten nuts, wreck brakes... etcetera... if a mechanic is not familiar with Mazdas, he will obviously say they're complete sh*t... but there are mechanics who have done good jobs on my cars and have not complained about them being Mazdas...

I think this thread is far off-course and approaching flame-war status... but I'd like to know... is this recall true? If it is, Orly should be receiving the letter in his mail, since he owns a 3...

[a4Tech]

Yes this recall is very much true. Good thing i own a 2.0 w/c is not included in the recall.

What's good about this is that Mazda is brave enough to make the recall and fix the problems.

Zoom zoom all the way.

Whats wrong: A bolt securing the engine and transmission assembly to one of its mounting points may loosen over time.

Before somebody says I posted this because I hate Mazda, I used to own a Mazda MX-3 GS 1.8L V6.

Oo sir, kawawa ang magpagawa sa eng-eng na mekaniko. Kawawa rin ang may kotse kung walang makuhang spareparts at pag- nag-o-overheat ang sasakyan, perwisyo sa bulsa.

Talaga naman oo.
