Brought the pick up last friday for diagnosis, they replaced the turbo last wednesday, i got it back friday after a long test drive. They asked if i cool down the turbo and i said yes, at least 2 minutes before shutting it off. Now they said cool it down at least 10 minutes and we'll see if it happens again. Yeah, 10 minutes of idling and wasting fuel! Oh well!

10 Mins?? deym... pero at least okay after after sales support ng mazda

Yehey! Powertrain alarm na ulit 2 days pa lang napalitan ng turbo! Galing ako naia sinundo ko sister ko. Pag dating namin sa edsa from slex biglang may sound na parang singaw, "pfffffft!!!" na malakas. Then parang nabutas na yung hose kasi may parang pumutok na yun bang sound ng plastic bag na pinaputok saka biglang bagal ng takbo at mausok na. Pinilit ko pa din itakbo kasi alam ko blown turbo hose lang naman yun (sana). Inilampas ko lang sa makati at mandaluyong at delikado sa mga brown boys. Pag dating sa harap ng camp aguinaldo stop ako, check baka kaya ko gawin. Kaso di ko makita saan yung blown hose. Limp mode hangang sa bahay!

Balik casa na naman ito bukas. Nakakahiya sa edsa, smoke belcher! Nanliliit ako, iniisip ko baka may makakitang taga-Tsikot ma-video pa ako at magtrending!

Nyahahahaha! Tawa na lang. Bwiset!

Update ko lang. I got the truck back december 29. it was the turbo hose between the turbo and intercooler that got loose. Baka daw hindi nahigpitan ng todo. They replaced the clamp.

I did not have any chance of a long test drive since madami kami lakad, mostly using the sorento and starex. But checking on the odo mazda q.ave did a long one of almost 200 km. I did told them "ubusin nyo na ang laman ng tanke mag-test drive para sigurado", and they almost did finish my 3/4 tank of diesel, 1/4 na lang natira e. That, or somebody decided to spend the holidays with my truck

Sabi ko sa service advisor ko, ibibirit ko to pag uwi ko next time, pedal to the metal na test drive. Ok lang daw papalitan daw nila ulit ng turbo pag masira ulit.

Hehe, kumpiyansa pa casa na papalitan kapag nasira ulit turbo ha. I hope Mazda can design a Skyactiv-D for the ranger para yun na lang ipalit sa makina nang Ford.

found these in the internet. even for those with no turbo problems do take note of the bulletin regarding maximum time for draining the lube oil.

If I replace the stock speakers ma void kayo yun warranty? Sabi kasi nun agent basta wala daw splicing/cutting ok lang

I returned the unit to mazda quezon avenue 2 days ago, nag-traction control with powertrain alarm na naman, then followed by CEL and limp mode plus the annoying shift shock. They called me today, turbo damage again plus damaged intercooler.

Strike 3 na! Isa na lang lemon law na!

I already told mazda quezon avenue i will be going for the lemon law kahit 3x pa lang. It is tomgive mazda philippines the option of not trying to do an expensive repair and having it fail a 4th time, or that they do extensive fault finding to get to the bottom of the problem. BTW mazda philippines technicians were the ones who looked at the unit, not just the dealer's service personnel.
