The reverse is true for lower comp.

i c i c. smthg new about lower comp - always thot higher comp = more pwr.

�Yup...this car will be perfect with abit more low-end torque...no choice must rev to 3k rpm & above at low gears...but fc suffer...

Bro, did you place the passenger scuff plate wrongly to the driver side? Mine dont have wording, but I thought the wording shld be behind rather than forward? �
�
both piece of scuff plates are the same. so if i were to swap it to the opposite side, the wordings are in the opposite direction. my passenger side wordings are behind. now im thinking if i should remove the scuff plates. haha. does yours stick very well onto ur inner car?
Bro,
Where you get the carpet?
Cheers
Bro,

Mine was given by SE. perhaps thats why theres a mazda 3 logo there.
I've update my Navigation SD card with Mazda Toolbox recently. Today is the first time I take MCE and found out that there is no MCE data in the GPS. Like to check with the rest if the original GPS map has MCE? Not sure why the updates using Mazda toolbox dont have MCE inside... thks.

Could it be that they gave you 2x passenger side scuff plates? My driver side and rear doors plates fit nicely. The passenger door plate was made for non i-Eloop model, so the front is slightly smaller abd I have to bent out the edge to fit it in. Now all fit nicely.

Thanks. But I realize something weird, the M3 GPS seems to have INS, cos my GPS location is moving in blank map space when I'm in MCE and the GPS location also turned when I turned... but when I exited the tunnel, the position is slightly off from actual location. Do you notice the same thing?
I going to try again tmr...

Yeah, same here.. So the issue is that the map is not updated.. heard that this not-so-updated map was around since the first stocks of M3 was delivered to Sg.. so i think nothing has changed ever since..
Any contacts that sell such reliable and compatible refills at reasonable price?
To tell the truth i haven read the manual yet.. haha i just left the black folder in the glove compartment the day i got the car.. paiseh didn't ask them abt the programming of auto lock but i thought i didn't want it since in order to unlock i'd have to flick the lock as there is no switch for easy lock/unlock above the window switches..

�
I tried again today and the GPS location really is moving at the correct location inside MCE, where there is no GPS signal. When I exit and join ECP, the GPS location also joined the same ECP location... it is either:
�
1) M3 has Inertial Navigation Sys built in (unlikely, as such system is not cheap)
�
2) There is MCE map in the GPS, but some how its not displayed, but the GPS switched to prediction mode following the hidden MCE tunnel in the map. (more likely, as normal TOMTOM GPS map already have MCE in their map and M3 uses TOMTOM)

Knocking sound from suspension when going pass speed bump. It happened before my 1k servicing and I told the person who served me when I went for 1k servicing. All he told me was monitor first.

Hi, I'm not driving a M3 but generally if the car is in warranty (moreover from AD), car owner don't have to wait until next servicing. Try raise the issue/complain again to ask them to check. I think for safety first. cheers�
my iSTOP has never stop for more than 30seconds. does it really save that much petrol if my engine switch off for that few seconds? does anyone here iSTOP will stop throughout the traffic light time until u release the brakes?

How long it stop depends on how fully charged is the capacitor. But, bear in mind that capacitor is not like battery as it charges & discharges quite quickly, which is good for city driving. I think savings would be over time, probably btw 4 to 7%, you can check it out with the Fuel Economy Monitor.

Try turning off the A/C compressor,leave the blower on..can lasts up to 2 mins.

Mine sometimes can stop throughout, especially at night. What aircon temperature did u set? If set too low, the istop will start the engine very fast. You can go to the Fuel management monitor page and the iEloop page to see what is the cause of the short stop. There are 3 icons there to show engine, battery and aircon. If the icon is not glowing, that means that item is the cause.

Ya, try listen carefully at the 2 sec mark. Its the knocking sound. Today when i was exiting Lido's carpark also got sound whenever i pass through a speed bump. Annoying. To be honest, I won't recommend this car to a friend. Such simple things also can cock up. Genius.�
My car do have the nock nock sound. It's not on all types of bumps that will have. Only those super high like in JB kind. I heard the nock sound. There's just that one nock. It doesn't go nock nock nock.
My iStop will start up the engine like after 10-15s the most. Aircon temp is set at 22/20. But when te engine start up again. On the fuel Ecconomy page. The next few seconds. They asked me to put to neutral to activate which I donno for what.

Your aircon temp is set too low... mine is at 25deg only...
All cars when going over bumps will have some damping noise as the shock absobers are working. Need to differentiate from the nock nock sound.

it sound�exactly like the nock nock�sound one of us posted in the video. but not all speed bumps willl have. i only encounter twice at the same bump in jb yesterday cos no carpark lot so made 2 turns and went across the bump twice. but it doesnt go nock nock nock. it only has 1 nock sound. still at my 500km only.

Hi bro,
�
The Dok Dok sound is still there, more like faint jiggling noise when turning at low speed or travelling at slow speed at grated roads. Most prominent when there is a sudden up slope.
I should be going back there in about 2 weeks time when my mileage reaches 5000km.
I will give leng kee one more chance if not I will go back to UBI.
Don't think it is that serious. It might be due to the lack of lubrication of the top mount bearing.
It was rather similar to my previous ride�on�coilovers�which was using a pillow mount ( and metal top hat), which sounded more awfully when�they got shot. �I am rather surprised Mz3 comes with rubber top hats with metal bearing as well.
Please see the link here for more info.
http://mazda3revolut...future-tsb.html
Scenario: knock sound before up a hump and a knock sound when down a hump.
To follow up with my knock knock sound repair: first repair was to replace arm bushing and top mount damper/rubber at Ubi. A soft knock knock sound remain . ( confirm with the same tester today) Today they did a insulate FRT COIL SPRING as written in my tax invoice. So far going thru a few hump, it had been good. Will update again in 2 week time.

I stop is design to save fuel accumulative on long term. If the temp is set too low, cabin temp will try to be met at all times, resulted I stop being cut off. If the cabin temp is set to lowest and blower to full I stop will not work. As for myself, my temp is set at 26degree and I stop can last 2 min when it's fully charged. I do notice I stop dun work that long during a warm day..
Thanks for updating us bro.Done at Ubi?Scenario: knock sound before up a hump and a knock sound when down a hump.

I am glad the main problem encounter by most drivers is the sound they hear when going over hump and not a flashing "D", problematic throttle body, killer airbags, etc. �At least our problem can be solved easily by replacing some bushings. �I guess it did not bother me much because I have my favourite music on most of the time when I drive over humps and I do not have the habit of turning the volume down before i going over a hump.

Anyway, I doubt i could hear it anymore even if i try because Eurokas has replaced the bushings during my recent service appointment ...FOC�
Given that there are so many technologies advances that are built into M3 compared to other car makes, like high compression 14:1 engine on normal octane fuel, new generation powerful transmission, high rigidity but light body, increased torque in low-mid rpm, excellent fuel efficiency, advance i-Stop, brake regenerative power i-Eloop, etc.. I think a nock sound, though tarnish the M3 perfect image, it shld not be blown out of proportion and overshine all these advantages. (Lucky my M3 don't have nock sound)�

I tried again today and the GPS location really is moving at the correct location inside MCE, where there is no GPS signal. When I exit and join ECP, the GPS location also joined the same ECP location... it is either:
�
1) M3 has Inertial Navigation Sys built in (unlikely, as such system is not cheap)
�
2) There is MCE map in the GPS, but some how its not displayed, but the GPS switched to prediction mode following the hidden MCE tunnel in the map. (more likely, as normal TOMTOM GPS map already have MCE in their map and M3 uses TOMTOM)
�
Tried a few more days using GPS thru MCE, it seems like there is some kind of INS (Inertial Navigation System) buit into M3. Because sometimes when I exited the MCE, the GPS position is slightly off the actual position, sometimes its almost on the same location when it reacquired the GPS signal.
�
Anyway there is another update of Southeast Asia maps when I log in to Mazda Toolbox this morning, updating now and will check it out on Mon if the MCE is included in this update. ��

Not too sure if there is any improvement, but reason why they upgraded was that I had experienced a static screen on the morning before my 10K Svc. So far seems fine. Just updated my map, so try tml morning.

Thanks bro.
Read that for the Sky AT, instead of only relying on the torque converter, it has clutch plates.
In transmitting the power, the clutch plates plays a primary role while the TC plays a secondary role.
Anyone bro here who previously driven a 6AT car like Elantra can comment on the 2 respective GB(s).? �TIA.

Every A/T got clutch plates,it is only Mazda Skyactiv A/T "Lock-up" very fast,so that you got a direct feel,almost like DSG,but the down side is a bit more jerky....Elantra gearbox is the same as Kia K3,it is smooth,but not so fast shifting....Mazda gearbox also upshift in very low rpm to save fuel.

I test drove both cars on the same day .... and I will tell you how my butt felt day that ....
the more I rev the Mazda 3, the merrier it goes and the engine grew bigger.�
the more I rev the Elantra, the merrier the engine goes too and felt even faster than the Mazda but the engine felt it grew smaller and about to explode with joy and happiness ... and unfortunately, I feel the car fish-tail a bit at medium-hard braking at 100km/hr.
Just what my butt told me.

I test drove the K3 as well, smooth revving engine but the 17" wheels kill the fun but my butt told me this car suspension setup might be the best for city driving among the 2 cars here.�

No problem bro.
But my backside not so itchy now as I have my Mazda 3 ,,,�Hahaha ....�
�
Anyway, just send in for 5000km servicing, told them the "nock nock" sound.
A�mech called KOH I �think was assigned to test drive the car with me.
Immediately upon the 1 hump in an open carpark with many humps, "nock nock" was heard.
He suspect it was the lower arm bushing issue as every hump he goes over have this sound.
Sitting at the passenger the sound was very audible.

Just sent to Leng Kee though my mileage is still short of 5000km.
The Mechanic test drove with me and managed to hear the noise again.
Was informed by them that every production batch gives different sound..cos mazda Japan modified it but it created another new sound every time to do so. So it is batch specific...
Shall update again...
To all who wants to update to V33.�
�
I just updated mine after complaining that my Infortainment gets hang twice after my 5K service to 10K service.�
They mentioned that V33 just came out and updated mine to V33.
�
After came out from workshop, i realized that if you used to listen to MP3 thru USB and with shuffle mode on. This feature will be disable every time you off and start your engine / module. so you need to enable the shuffle mode ever time you on your engine, otherwise, the MP3 will just running as sequence as per the file.�
�
So far the rest of the thing are the same. not realized anything changes for this update.�
The update doesnt affect the map version regardless of new or old.�
�
Mine is old version and cannot be update anymore (MCE is not in the database)
�
I will feedback again if i found anything different for the newer version.
�
�
Another update.�
�
For those who going to 20K servicing, the charges will be S$382 exclude GST subject to change.�
�
They only change E/O , A/C Filter , Oil Filter only + Tighten of some parts. The rest of the thing are fall into "Inspection"�
�
I also changed the bushing after complaining about the abnormal sound from my absorber (Front) but i will monitor again. My previous problem was, after heavy rain, the abnormal sound will be occur only over a hump. Normal dry road over hump has no problem.�
These few days no rain, so i cant confirm is the problem resolve or not. Anyway, after changing it, everything is like normal as unchanged like that. hope they really resolve this problem to me.�
�
�
Was wondering where do some bros get their accessories from when they say mazda usa oem website.. Anyone able to share some links? Thanks:)
Today, I�drove in�to Ubi Service centre�and looked for Koh to feedback on the "NOCK NOCK" when over a hump and "TICK TICK" on left front panel while cruising uneven road.
�
They changed the lower arm bush and insulate the coil spring for the (left and right). So far...ok.
�
But the "tick tick" sound still persist (though the noise is "faint"�after they lubricate and adjust panel)
�
Will monitor and update again!
�
�
�
Just done my 1k servicing. Also changed lower arm bushing left and right.
According to them, no need to do wheel alignment for changing lower arm bushing.
Also asked them to update my ver 31 to 33. Thanks to all bros discussion here,
so I know what to request for my 1K servicing.

Strange that you wrote "old version and cannot be update anymore" considering you only have 20,000KM on your car.� I thought you have three years of free update?

Did you try to update the map yourself?� There is an update available that has just been released.

Download the TOOLBOX and install it on your PC (not Mac), connect your SD Card to your PC and simply follow the on screen instruction.

Changed the lower arm bushing for the 2nd time and the Strut mount with the bearing.
Well, after driving for some time, I still can hear the faint jingling sound on rough roads.
Probably, the spring are on the stiffer side and that is why the sound is inevitable.
Perhaps, insulation of spring will really work
Hi Bro, no breakdown list.
�
the list that given to me is those list and price on the service like...
20K is $382, 30K is two hundred plus, then 40K is four hundred plus. up to 120K like that.
But about 100K , this is the most expensive one which is about a thousand plus like that.
�
i try to upload later when i back to office.

Main concern is the straps over the spoiler...and when fully loaded would the straps damage it?
Salvage from my old car before scrap. Do it in JB. Labour for taking out and installing = RM 60.
I thk shld black out. Better check bro.
I too found out something today. Never had to use the 12V outlet, and when I tried to plug a car vacuum last night... Didn't work. I thought the vacuum was faulty since car new rite..changed another unit and still dead. Just had 10k Svc.. So will be quite long time til next round.
�
The 12V outlet shd work when car is running or when the battery power is on. If not, then maybe shd get it checked.
Hi all,

Need some advice from the gurus here.
�
Been driving my new Madza 3 for about 2 weeks.�1k servicing soon to come. In the past 2 days, I noticed that the digital odometer�display (at the bottom left portion of the driver console) still shows the distance (still�dimly lit�up)�even I turned off the engine. I think by right everything should be blacked out when I switch off the engine? I wonder is this normal or something is wrong with the display.
�
Any bros can advise?
Normal,together with the alarm LED,these used very little energy,no worries..

Check the vacuum plug length, is it short? The 12V outlet on our M3 is deeper than normal. My Griffin USB charger also cannot work on M3 as the charger is too short. Changed to a longer length USB charger and it works. �

Hi,
Did anyone change their Mazda 3 tyres/rims from 16" to 17" ?
Where to go to get 17" Rims with Mazda logo ?
Thanks.
Traded in my Mz original 16 x 6.5jj rim to 16 x 7jj rim.
Can't get back the Mz logo cap because the boss need them to sell my Mz rim off as a set.
Me change 16" to 16" is because I wanna use back my original tire. Also rim offset from original +50 to
aftermarket rim +38. Now whole setup looks better. Doesn't have the sunken rim/tire look anymore. If you know what I mean.
changed mine to 17 inch but cant used back the mazda logo cos too small
Thanks. Yours is the 2014 Mazda3 1.5L?
What are good rim brands? Where can i preview the designs online? Which shop is trustworthy/honest ? Sorry am a noobie on this. What size tyres did you fit? Was there significant reduction in pickup of the car? Thanks.

Yar .... hehehe ...
anyway, the original toyo tires I find very noisy for its performance but they are quite good.
Further to what i reported for 5k servicing that a Mr. Koh from UBI had changed the front right strut bushing and isolate the spring, all has been well. On the hindsight, the small little creaking sounds in the cabin is more obvious.
�
After driving it for a while, I found that the car is less fidgety (like the steering is trying to fight your input and gets easily agitated) on high speed on the highway and the usual corners were made made easier to take with confidence.
�
I urge all those who had the "TOCK TOCK" sound to rectify the issue and feel what the designer had originally intend the car to handle.
might just be the fuse..
�
i bought from courts.. the brand is called innergie i think

depends on distance travel ... can hit 5l/100km or less if cruising without stopping at constant speed for > 30km.
RPM should be about 2000rpm i think at 6th gear.
