Mazda TSB
Hi guys, I am a new member here seeking help!!
I have a skyactiv mazda and I do have some problems with it, but I cannot find any TSB's on it.
The sites that have mazda TSB's (arlington, etc) do not have any skyactiv TSB's, however I know they exist because one of the members on here posted this.
https://www.rx8club.com/attachment.p...4&d=1330167352.
I would just like to know, where you find the newest TSB's and if any of you could post any more.
Thank you with MUCH LOVE

If your dealer is anything like mine, they will not do anything until you receive the letter in the mail, and/or seeing if your vehicle meets the requirements within the TSB. According to the TSB, it is not a major problem. My service department either doesn't know about the TSB before I do, or they just lie to me until it has officially notified the customer and tech about the problem. You can try calling the service department about this TSB and see if they will do anything for you.

http://www.mazdaserviceinfo.com/Account/Login.aspx this is a great resource if you dont mind paying the 20 fee for 24hours of use. It will have any recalls/TSBs/ as well as shop documentation for your car.

There are no other TSB's for SA with "engine issues", as said the TSB about engine rattle at warm up the customer must complain to dealer and then action will be taken...Take a copy of the TSB to your Mazda Dealer and ask it to be performed "if" this is the issue...if it is not then still report it.
You have not been specific on your 'problems'..
Only others I am aware of are 3 for CX-5 initial production with a Rattle Noise near windscreen and the poor fitting interior 'A Pillar Trim' "top gap" because of Air Bag install...only cosmetic and NOT a Re-call...and the transportation of the CX-5 on a flat bed truck from memory.
What SA Mazda are we talking about?

If you truly have a new Mazda, feel free to tell us what it is. You would be shocked at the resources available from some people on this forum.

HI guys, thanks for the replies.
I have a 2012 Mazda 3 Skyactiv-GS here in BC.
The problem I have are these:
Rough idle, car shakes.
Idle fluctuates.
Both of these do not just occur when cold, but all the time.
Something that started just today, is that I hear a loud rattle sound coming from what seems like the center console/
Sorry for not clarifying what car it was.

That's what I first thought, MAF, 02, etc.
My cars got 1500km on it now (about 930mi) car is 2 months old.
the rough idle / fluctuating idle has been there since about 100km.
the rattle sound in the dash started today.

Thanks for your replies. I have an appointment booked for next monday (my first service).
I don't plan on annoying and dealing with force so to speak. I am taking it to a specific location that on the local mazda forum, rated it as one of the top in our lower mainland.
Just an update as well I found out what the rattling was.
My girl threw away my travel size advil but left the tiny cap in the storage on the roofliner beside the cabin lights.
Threw it out and the rattling went away.
One less thing to worry about!

What gas/fuel are you using?....even though you "can" use a lower octane (number), I would go with the highest (or close to it) fuel that you can buy..
These SA's are high compression motors and run best on high octane rated fuels, gasoline, petrol.

In canada we have 87,89 and 91.
87 and 89 have ethanol but 91 doesn't.
however 91 costs 1.60 right now a litre, which is about 6.05 a gallon.
it just doesn't make sense to me to buy a "fuel saving car" and buy the most expensive gas for it.
However I have tried 89 which is i believe only 5% ethanol and i only got better mileage by a slight margin

Everything I have read said that the north american ones were designed to run on 87 octane.

I brought my car into one of the more reputable shops here in the lower mainland and the foreman said that the fluctuating idle (50-100 revs) and slight vibration was normal, in that it was something to do with the load on the engine?
such as having ac on, turning the wheel, heated seats etc. every time he turned each on, the idle would fluctuate. he says it's normal but if it gets worse, i should go back.

Send me the last 8 of your VIN by private message if you can.

Apparently there's a technical bulletin which deals with the engine oil dilution.
Thanks in advance..
