Did I get a free de-carb?
I have a '04 A/T with 36K all up to date on "TSB's" and service. I have noticed that the power was off mostly on the top end. I changed plugs, coils, wires, air filter, cleaned A/F, no change. So I have a friend that is a master mechanic and he ran a compression test(with the proper Mazda equip). The front was 6.7 at 240rpm and rear was 8.2 at 245rpm. His ALLDATA-online said 6.9 was min and 1.0 difference between rotors was max. This is why I brought it to my Mazda dealer to have them run a compression test. They said they would run CARBON REMOVAL PROCEDURE($300+ if needed) if it tested low. I picked it up($176 for test and oil and filter) and the compression tested at front 8.4(no rpms given?) rear was 8.8. It's fine they say did not need de-carb he also added its 6.5 min and 1.5 max between rotors is Mazda specs.......hmmmm? I've driven it a some and it seems a little better. Hmmmm.....my service rep said they called Mazda....why? Maybe to get ok on free de-carb. I will have to check it again someday.

It was at the dealer six hours. They told me it's free if it's still on the 4yr-50K mile warranty, mine's 5yr this mo. You are correct this is what is on the "TSB"... WARRANTY INFORMATION NOTE: • This warranty information applies only to verified customer complaints on vehicles eligible for warranty repair. • Warranty term coverage is 8 years (96 months) from the original warranty start date, with a 100,000 mile mileage limitation. • Additional diagnostic time cannot be claimed for this repair |
sounds fishy - get your mate to check it again .......

yeah sounds a little fishy 2 me also
|
That was my feeling at first....fishy. Now I will have to drive it a little too tell. It does say to "verified customer complaints" and It only had about 3-4 additional miles on so I don't know. My mechanic friend lives about an hour and a half away and is a very busy guy, so I don't know when that will happen. At least I have three more years on engine and have problem reported.
