So, Mazda is only going to extend the warranty by one year and 10,000 miles?
Unacceptable IMO.

When Toyota had a problem with their 3.0 liter engines (sludge), they gave all owners a 100,000 mile warranty on the engine.
THAT'S customer service/white glove treatment.
This 10k mile warranty extension is crap.

I digress, did you hear there was an engine recall coming out soon!?

You Canadians need to learn how to raise your voices.

I understand that a recall is coming,but the information coming out of MNOA so far makes no sense to me.
My first inclination is that the management of MNOA is totally incompetent and should be fired.
Just out of curiousity I would be interested to know vacuum readings on peoples engines.
Mine are:
cold idle,1500rpm, -65kpa
hot idle,820rpm, -59 kpa
shut throttle,3500rpm, -83kpa all measured using Greddy E-01,engine side of throttle body.

Its nice with the extended warrenty atleast right now since we dont know the exact % of engines this will actually effect. If its greater than 10% then we should definatly get it extended to 100k for insurance (and to make Expo happy!). But we'll have to wait and see, till then gonna practice my Neslon laugh impression hehehe..
