A beautiful and attractive lady indeed! :P

 

Hey guys.

We officially have the recall from Australia and both issue is relevant for me (mine is Sep 03 build).

 

hv check wif cartimes...& yes they've been notified & cracking their heads 4 recall documents which year affected, will inform after dat...so those from cartimes pls wait 4 their post mails or phone calls.

 

I'm not sure my car is affect or not so I went down to MM today and found out that they are arranging all the cars to have them back for servicing.

5 Cars per day. Starting from those who bought them eariler.

But I manage to jump infront abit and will be send it to MM on Monday 1st Aug.

 

Finally managed to tally my Chassis number with the list, glad to know it's only a heating problem... feel much better now...

Hopefully all those with joints problems can have them rectified quickly...

Meanwhile, safe driving! :p

 

I have some newer story from Tigger posted on the other thread

http://199.79.180.162/prepos/files/A...5V325-9406.PDF

It is a good story how they discover the lower arm problems.

 

Urs from HY right? Had a talk with the manager. Dun worry, they are doing up the letters now and should send out this couple of weeks. They will ask you to go for inspection at the workshop and if there's a problem will rectify it.

 

Thanxs bro... I'm not so worried now dat it's just a heating insulation problem... well, at least it wouldn't be that hot after the rectification... :P

 

I just did the installation of the heat shield by MM.

It makes not differences, my center console is still very hot.

U want to know how HOT it is
I can still heat up my the beehoon I bought from the market early in the Morning

 

Hey morgan...I also had the "treatment" done at MM today, but after pestering the reps (I had to pester big time, one after the other) they finally said that no thermal damage was done to my 8, but that precautionary measures were taken.... so how? In the end, I don't know completely what was done to my 8 this afternoon. However, I can tell you that a good straight through cat back aftermarket exhaust will considerably lower the heat in the center consol, works for me mate.

 

So did they install the heat shield for u?

Your number plate is 8008 right?

 

Heck if I know...guess I'll have to do the bends under my 8 to find out, or hoist it up at a garage, but it's not a problem really.

Nope, but you'll see me at the next meet up

 

Well, i got my done, no diff to the centre console heat, SAME SAME SAME...
Wonder what they do with the "Heat Shield" ???

 

I wonder if they did install the heat shield or did they just did an inspection that nothing is damaged due to the high heat (see see look look only)

I try to call the guy incharge of my recall but he is always not around to pick up the call , guess I would have to make a trip down again to ask him personally

 

the heat shield was not done at the centre console, contrary to belief....

its near to the rear muffler area....... did mine oredi...

 

Why at the muffler area. I though the main ideal was to prevent e heat from entering the car?

Guest I would have to spend money again to have the whole Pipes shield away from the car. cos the car aircon just can't make it. it always not cold enough to cool me during the day time.

 

good question, y near the muffler area? i oso dunno...... thats wat they told me..... its nowhere near the gear shift stick area.....

 

Keeps my subway sandwich warm all the home.

 

is dat supposed to be good??? :D :D

 

If you bought a sandwich that is suppose to be kept warm... yes... very good.

Keeps your hot tea/coffee warm all the way. That's good too.

 

but if it kept ur coke warm? hot hot coca cola... anyone??? :D :D

 

think the main idea was to prevent heat from getting to fuel tank which may result in an unintended combustion. that probly explains why they work in the area of muffler only.

 

good for coughs i heard. :p

mazda should inlcude as a selling point, like how peugeot has this cooling chamber.

 

Drink hot coco. Eat cup noodles. :p
