i have a little more than a thousand miles left under warranty and was just wondering if there is anything i should ask the dealer to look at or anything before it's over with...lmk k thx

 

Which warranty,bumper to bumper or 60K? What year and miles? Have you had any issues?

 

This will cost about $100 but you should get a baseline compression test.

 

+1 for compression test. Im getting an oil leak fixed with the crank seal and my car has........hold on........59,596 miles on it. So I just squeezed that one in, lol.

 

I hope anything major happens to my car within the warranty. Would be nice, in a perfect world.

 

it's an 04 with 48,806 miles on it and it has i think the 50k warranty...i haven't had any real problems with it but i bought the car with 38.xxx miles almost a year ago

 

You might try to get the revised engine mounts (TSB: Hesitation/idle vibration due to cracked engine mounts). Read it here: http://finishlineperformance.com/sto....php?pageid=11

 

Very good advise.

 

just went through this myself.

1) Do compression check for sure (rx-7 store charge $40. Thanks jason.)
2) Read all TSBs from the link given above. I had a few things covered.
3) Make sure you are up to date on the ECU flash.

I am getting my stereo replaced next week due to the CD player skipping heavily while hitting small bumps, got to love it.

Take care,

Mazda upped your warranty to 5yr ...60K......your better off then you thought and yes get all those things people told you about done before then.

 

for the compression test do i have to say anything's wrong with it and also for the coils??? or can i just have them just check both?

 

make sure you have the 4206f recall done..

beers

 

If you complain about a lack of power in the lower RPM range then a good dealership will give you the compression test for free. Others will charge 1 hour labor for it.

 

Confused about the compression and oil leak tests...

If your car appears to work fine and if the dealer doesn't notice a problem with your car, how can paying a third party to test your car help? If you pay the dealer for diagnostoc testing and they DO find an issue, does Mazda fix the issue and reimburse you for the testing fee?

Mazda USA doesn't have to do any warranty work until their dealer's service department believes there is a problem AND the issue is confirmed with their own diagnostic testing procedures on their own equipment. This is regardless of what you the customer says.

Am I wrong on this?

 

For me it was I wanted an impartial opinion. So for $40US it seemed like a great deal. If they had found an issue I would have then went to the dealership and gone from there.

Take care,

Brian
