mycarforum: 2014 Mazda 3 part 42

Question:

�

Does the standard 3 year base warranty cover all the factory electronics, stereos system etc for all 3 years ?? �- what did it not cover?

�

And for the +2 year extended warranty - is it the same coverage or otherwise?

�

battery only 1 year. recorder cam 1 year. tint is 10 years. rest check with your SE.

Auto centralised car lock. Maybe I will get it from taiwan......

Mazda spent millions to research the i-stop technology and have numbers to back them up. They claimed the system can do at least 300000 starts without problem..converting that to �daily use equals 80 to 100 starts a day. Unless you are a taxi driver, i do not think you will even be close to that. Damaging to the engine is a subjective matter as most of us just 'feel' the starter priming the engine but it may not have significant effect if done properly, Mazda even part the cams in place for optimal starting to reduce wear.�
�
Talking about wear, stopping the engine for 2 mins, helps the engine to reduce wear too where the piston dont even have to run at all and the temperature in the engine bay is reduced. Less heat = less wear to the surrounding. I do feel that the technology is beneficial over a long run.

No that technology is just used by manufacturers to pass off the emission test and one of the way to improve fc as well as go green

But in fact it will not only reduce the life of tear and wear such as battery, spark plugs, ignition coil but also in the long term its not good for the engine.

Imagine the moment traffic turns green, ur engine still resting, then u floor the pedal. It will eventually strain the engine especially if u floor hard.

So its better to turn off the auto start stop system

Bro,

Taiwan is left hand drive? Careful It will not fit our right hand drive.

Sorry i do not understand...

How would I-stop improve emission control? It has nothing to do with emission.

Also how does starting stress the ignition coil and spark plugs? Compare to you running the engine sparking at 800rpm to not running at all. The system does not create a stronger spark just to start the engine.

For driving off if that is your style.. I-stop or not will sure to kill your engine sooner. If you are in hurry you will probably able to keep the engine running by controlling the brakes as you are conscious about your driving effort.

Yours came with Yokohama? I tot standard is toyo?

Yah i know standard one is toyo. i also feel strange and asked sales how come mine different. she said they also cannot control. some came with yokohama... anyway it's good that the yokohama ones are quiet

�
Start-stop technology is not unique to Mazda, and there are tons of car forums discussing its pro-and-cons, and I guess there will always 2 banks of view since there simply isn't long enough data to evaluate conclusively its effect on engine wear. �For me because my fuel cost per month is below $200, even if I can save 5% on this amount it's only less than $10. �Plus there is no safety concern unlike in DSC case, so I will choose to off it all the time. �The engine wear is one thing, starter motor is definitely another because to restart it still need a boost from the starter motor. I changed 1 starter motor in old M3, $1k. �Then there is the battery, because of the adoption of i-stop the new M3 can only use a 'special' type of battery, GS Yuasa EIS-Q-85. �According to what I asked the Eurokar service technician the last time, only can be fitted at Mazda AD, and cost more than $400. �This is like a whopping 3 times more expensive battery than previously, I rather not kill it faster.
�
Lastly, it simply is irritating to me because while I �sit there waiting for the light to turn green, if with the i-stop on, sometimes you will get a sudden jerk and loud rumbling from the engine. �Just stick with your own personal preference anyway, no harm..

Yes agree that it's personal preference. It did not affect me.. In fact I enjoy the quietness for that moment at the red-light.

To me since i have already paid for that feature as it comes with the car, must well use it. I even use paddle shifter for the fun of it since my car comes with it.. But I think the auto is good enough 99 percent of the time. But it's great to have some control once a while.

5.4l per 100... zzzzz have u ever floor ur pedal?

�

true i drive quite gently... not bcoz i don't want to enjoy driving but bcoz i already got 18 demerit points so have to drive damn carefully!!� [:(] � [:(] � [:(]

�

also everyday the road i drive between home and office is v smooth. some parts not expressway but also can maintain like 60-70km/h for long distance w/o stopping

Can i ask if any of your security indicator light blinks when your car is parked and locked?

The light is in a shape of a car, with a padlock superimposed on it with an exclamation mark.

�

I never noticed it until it came on today: post car washing.

My key fob was left in car throughout the wash and at some point each of the door was opened and then closed for wiping.

I tried to start my car after i am done and i couldnt get the ignition to work, thats when i noticed the blinking light

I exited the car with the key fob, locked and unlocked the car using the key fob and tried to start but i failed

It was until i placed the key fob next to the ignition (SE told me if to do that if i suspect key fob battery low) then the ignition worked.

�

this is puzzling

U v funny ... Your life more important or some rubber, metal parts more important?

The only time I will off it is when go track. Then can test the driver skills.

Qn.
When ignition during cold start, all Mazda get this plane getting ready to fly noise. Do you wait till its warmed up n quiet before move off?

Or start engine n engage d to move instantly?

I waited.

No need to wait. Just drive off normally. It was stated in manual. It's meant to heat up the exhaust emission catalyst faster so it can meet emission standards.

Sorry i do not understand...

How would I-stop improve emission control? It has nothing to do with emission.

Also how does starting stress the ignition coil and spark plugs? Compare to you running the engine sparking at 800rpm to not running at all. The system does not create a stronger spark just to start the engine.

For driving off if that is your style.. I-stop or not will sure to kill your engine sooner. If you are in hurry you will probably able to keep the engine running by controlling the brakes as you are conscious about your driving effort.

Because when start stop activated, the car didnt produce any emission. Unlike stopping wih engine running.

Ignition coil and spark plugs affected as everytime it needs to start the engine. Battery too.

Its not killing the engine but its not good for long term. It cause stress on the engine as u floor the gas pedal when engine just turned on.

Trust me its not good. The fc u save doesnt really affect much. I am driving a start stop car now and ignition coil and plugs kaput earlier than expected

Yep. The start-stop is to reduce petrol burnt when the car is stop. Less petrol burnt means lesser emission and lesser petrol used.

I think most of us came from cars that were not so high tech as they are now. Im sure stop-start causes wear, but I'm also sure that car manufacturers would design the system to take the load. There are batteries specifically for stop-start tech. My concern is for the starter motor. So responsibly, they should put in a more robust starter system.

I leave I-stop on and only activate it at junctions with longer waits. Otherwise the engine is running.

If you search online regarding Mazda istop it doesn't use the starter motor to crank the engine to start. This is due to the cylinder head being prime to start. Upon releasing your pedal, a charge from the battery is sent to the spark plug causing it to fire at the cylinder head to cycle, thus starting your engine. The closest thing that I can think of representing similar is the semi automatic rifle that we use in SAF. Once you cock your rifle and press the trigger, it will fire and releasing the trigger is like akin to pressing the brake, the rifle will stop firing but the chamber is prime to shoot the next round the moment you press the trigger. Hope that explains what the istop is.

Ok...will ask the stockist....

I would like to contribute on the istop topic

�

From what I gather the i-stop work on principle of using its combustion cycle to restart the engine instead of using an additional motor start that drain the car battery.

�

Conventional European style start-stop system kill off the engine while it is still in engage mode, then uses an electric motor to kick start mechanically the piston to restart the engine. Thus the addtional drain in the battery and your starter, resulting in more wear and tear.

�

Mazda i-stop use a different approach where they actually introduce fuel into the piston chamber, and ignite using the same sparkplug for normal combustion to restart the combustion process. So technically the drain on the battery during i-stop operation would be the same as normal combustion cycle.

�

I am not sure why European car do not use such methods, was it patent or something on that line. But I have a strong feeling is that those car are using compression ratio of 10~12:1, whereas the new Mazda is 14:1, so the fuel is compressed further that could result in a better "kick" when restart.

�

This higher compression have resulted in a lower torque for Mazda3 though, thus acceleraton is dampen for Mazda using Skyactiv Engine.

�

Just want to share my view on this...

Actually if it's using the spark plug to restart the engine why do we hear the starter motor sound during the restart (not to mention the engine vibration felt)?�

�

I'm also skeptical that the spark plug alone can start the engine. This means the fuel mix must be there and the piston remain in the compressed state which doesn't sound like a possibility as the piston will be pushed down in that state.�

while reversing just now, i heard a loud scratching sound against the kerb..

i sian 1/2 thinking that its my rim....

�

went down and took a look...

its my cheapo self installed mudguard bought from Taobao..LOL

�

�
Hmm.. mine came with Bridgestone Turanza thou.

Birdgestone is more expensive than Toyo and Yokohama i heard from workshop ppl... how's road noise lvl?

�

Actually how does one know if the current sound we hear while restarting is a starter motor sound?

�

Vibration is definitely felt as the engine are starting the combustion process, but that does not mean it has to be the starter motor.

�

And also somewhere i read, the i-stop electric charge come from the i-eloop, that is why the i-stop is not available when there is not enough charge.

�

You are right on the piston location been a factor of this re-starting, it is supposely to be taken care of using precise control of the piston position during the time of the stop, so i see that the system would actually time and realign itself prior to each re-start.

�

Isn't the authentic start motor sound we have been hearing all these years obvious enough?

�

I read the link you provide and it seems to mean using a combination of combustion + motor assist (starter) for a smoother and shorten starting cycle (0.35sec).

�

So the starter motor is actually still being used during start.

�

I guess it would take some years with enough empirical data to determine whether the start-stop technology is worth using from the overall cost perspective (not discounting environmental factor).

�

Hmm I can't find where it says istop use motor assist (starter) in the article link...

�

I do read that it seem to implied that madza istop did not rely on a starter motor to restart the engine:

�

��While conventional idling stop systems rely on a starter motor to restart the engine, Mazda's i-stop restarts the engine through combustion; fuel is directly injected into a cylinder while the engine is stopped and ignited to generate downward piston force. The result is a quick and quiet engine re-start compared to other systems and a significant saving in fuel.

Don't just read the description, look at the pictorial illustration.

�

After that read back the description. You might realise it now sounds more like a cleverly-worded marketing message that steers clear of the mention of starter motor ie. it does not states that it uses the starter motor, nor does it state that it doesn't.

�

Maybe it's just me but I do remember clearly hearing the sound of the starter motor and feeling the vibration in the 2 occasions when I test drive the Mazda 3. Other makes like Subaru and Nissan are actually is not as pronounced.

My view is same as some forumer. I do not think it saves as much fuel and it also uses starter motor to do the job. However I think that the technology actually makes the wear and tear much lesser than it should be. It just that we need more data to prove.

To summarize, I will try not to use I-Stop only if I remember. Haha�

If your model is deluxe. Go to app, page 2. The amt of fuel saving from I stop is shown.

Usually not significant. For my case its about 10km for 700km. 10km is less than a litre.

Haven't followed the discussion for a few days and missed the debate about i-stop.

�

I'm not a tech savvy person and I don't pursue the latest technology. But with a huge purchase like a car, it is somewhat exciting to know that, at that price range, I am buying something that is of a whole new generation of technology (the skyactiv package of istop, eloop), instead of something that's 2000s like the Altis.

�

Surely there will be risks. Just like how CVT took some time. But our feedback and experience will go to contributing towards the next generation of automobile technology.

�

outcome vary to driving pattern....

for me... that is like 6.7~7litres/100KM

1st 1k km, I get about 6.6l/100km.

Now mileage 1.5k km, fc is 6.1l/100km...

Hopefully can get below 6l soon....
Im running on 17" mazda 6 rims so fc affected slightly.
Differences....

My mileage is about 7.4l/100km. ran about 1100km so far.

�

I'm still running in at 700+km, and on second tank.�

Have been very light and gradual start stops. However indication never went below 7.9L/100km.

Just wondering if the meter really reflects true numbers.

Based on the first tank, from full to zero range, only managed 500km.

I was told by SE that the free solar film does not cover the sunroof.

I ask for it, but she says no one does it, and may cause issues if it peel off. �Is it true?

�

Curious; no one bought the 2.0 Mz3?

Staying too long at low speed actually worsen ur FC.

Check your tyre pressure.

Reset your mileage and monitor again.

Im on 95 SPC.

I saw at least 2 2.0l maz3 when I took delivery of my 1.5l

I usually reset on every refill..�

�

Every refill is full pump....

�

I have calculated for my first 8 pumps.. using �total Trip A xxxx KM / refill amount (ard 39.xxlitres).

That come to ard 14.3x Km/litres... almost same reading as computerized reading of 6.7litres/100Km with +- of 3% variation..

�

But i will say .... before my 1st 1000 KM, the reading was good... 6.2 or so... mayb that was because i drove like tortoise...�

hahaha... FC will be worse after the 1000KM usually as you will be more familiar with car and zoom zoom!�

500km per tank is bad...I managed about 650km before pumping and range left is about 40km.

I think this only updates the Map, not the firmware ?

�
Yeah, SE msg me say got the bid. now its waiting time =)

Me too... I also got my bid first time. SE advised me not to go for 6 bid guaranteed and save the $1k, he said 99% will get it within 6 bids. He was right. Very nice guy. I asked for free car cam, he told me not worth it as its only $300 and you can get better high end models outside. He said got one old auntie insisted and so his colleague gave her. Instead he gave me cash discount.

somehow, all the Mazda rims look the same to me [dizzy]

Yes the Mzconnect firmware only updated through svc side . Map you can update yourself . Think the vet can be seen the setting option if your car the deluxe version

I have a 2.0 hatchback.

Looks like...I think they are limited stocks that open upnfor this ship batch, and those that are filled like Mazda 6 Exec version has no discount compared to the other M6 versions.

But i am more curious why now m3 deluxe and standard version the price difference narrowed from $7k to now just $6k hmm...

Very nice. Seldom see a hatchback mazda 3.

Does yours come with the free aero body kit?

Does yours come with the free aero body kit?

It comes with front & back skirting; is that the aero body kit?

By the way, just did my 1000km servicing yesterday at Leng Kee, although I have clocked 1600km. The queue is about 10 days, so must book early.

Very nice!! Careful when you reverse park, the car is quite low. I dislodged my rear skirting twice when it was caught by the stoppers on the ground when I moved off, managed to push it back in place. Ouch!!!

Thanks for the heads up. The kit includes front, sides, back and a rear spoiler. The SE threw these in when I booked in August. However they have no stocks now and I have to arrange separate installation when the stocks arrive.

Brother, just like you I was previously driving wrx for 10 years. So, I don't feel it is harsh or noisy, in fact less harsh than the wrx. But my friends driving the previous generation Mazda 3, did comment that it is quite noisy. Hope this helps.
