For example, the yanks don't spell a lot of thing with an "a" to it... like hematology or pediatrics... now my spell checker is playing up

Yeah, just pointing out that Mazda has obviously been working overtime on new flashes, at least for the U.S market, the "L" flash wasn't that old!

Hold on L&L, you may be up for another $66!!!!

And Gomez, this one is nicer:

A friend found it on some forum somewhere as a members avatar. Source unknown.

Just checked ecu and found to have "F" flash as standard.
Build date oct 03 ,delivered Nov 03.
Vin ending in 00848.
Fuel consumption 15l/100km with spirited driving.
I have poverty pack ie cloth trim and am very happy with power esp after reaching 4000km.

According to some Mazda technical info I was reading, there is supposed to be a "code" somewhere on a sticker in some accessible place that tells what the Calibration is. I haven't looked yet. Not - it was MNAO info I was reading, but it did say the sticker was applied in the factory/on the assembly line.

For those who missed why Gomez has changed his avatar, you might like to know that elsewhere I praised him on his acute powers to recall diverse matters discussed in a whole range of threads ... hence that his memory ... was larger than Pamela Anderson's :D

Now change back, Gomez -- you are distracting everyone, and all threads are going off topic.

BTW, I reckon the calibration (struggles to get back on topic) of Gomez's avatar is "E", but I demur to Lock & Load, who claims superior knowledge in these matters :D :p

Your wish is my command, Master....

With regards to the cal on my car, I just reported sticker details of my PCM....mine had "F" where Hymee's had "E"and Ageo's had "D"....I have no WDS info of the cal in my car.....

Regards, Gomez.

Hi,

Just had my 6 months/10,000km service at John Newell - my PCM was updated to N3J6-18881-E - VIN ends in 380.

JN wasn't able to provide details on the PCM version before the upgrade and they have no details on the "F' upgrade. Their WDS is apparently up-to-date.

This is confusing - how can some cars go to "F" and others only to "E"?

Can anyone recommend a dealer in Sydney who has the "F" upgrade?

BTW - the car appears to perform more smoothly and responsively with the "E" upgrade.

Pappy.

We have only seen F on cars from the factory - none have been flashed at the dealership with F AFAIK.

I put it down to the time it takes for the flash that is going into the cars in the factory to make it onto the WDS update CD. That CD has a large distribution.

Just think how long it takes Mazda Australia to get some oil organised.

Taka reckons his car is an "F"......and its an old 2003 clunker!!

Taka, dig up the full details of your cal.....and was it upgraded by the dealer at the last service???

Thanks Hymee - good point. I was under the impression some cars had been upgraded to "F" locally. Maybe Taka can confirm what happened with his.

Rexi reported a October build VIN 848 with a F CalID sticker.
Taka didn't check his sticker on his September build VIN 801, but the dealer told him "F".

They have been around a little longer than we really think! Mine is a August build 499 VIN with "E".

Cheers,
Hymee.

No They did not do a thing. My dad brought the car to Brighton Mazda but they refused the write the number down but told my dad that nothing upgraded/

Then I went to City Mazda to WDS -

it is number N3J6-18881-F. My VIN is 801 and build 30 Sept 2003

Is it the first "F" car... V_V
