car flooded who did you call?
 

Hello all,

My 8 is flodded in the garage. Did you guys call the dealer or mazda road side?

Thanks

Mazda Service, you should find the number in your user manual.

I keep the number on my cell phone, but luckily I have not yet had to use it. I figured it was a good idea since we have a MPV too.

To fix a flooded engine, the manual tells you to do this:

1.) Hold the accelerator pedal to the floor.

2.) "Start" the ignition for about 8 seconds, then release.

3.) Remove your foot from the accelerator.

4.) Start the car as normal.

Ive had to do this just once before. Worked like a charm.

Sorry, saw the thread title and couldn't resist :D

No dice on that. THanks for the info though!

haha good one markd!

Looking over some of your past posts do you still have any aftermarket parts installed that might cause the dealer to not repair your 8? If you have not been to the dealer in a while you might want to remove them.

THe only thing I have on now is a borla catback. Will they not fix the car because of this mod. I still have the stock exhaust but dont feel like switching it out inless 100% necessary.

Thanks
