I noticed that too. That's a big torque number for wheels.

Already done.
Cool. The room fuse notes are interesting. I will have to remind myself to do that whenever I disconnect the battery. I wonder why they pull the room fuse during shipping? |
Great stuff Ash .

I use 105 myself, I doubt a +/- a few ft-lbs will matter much
|
Agree on a few lb's, Me too between 105-110 ft lbs
|
i just turn mine until I can't turn it anymore using the stock wrench (whatever it's called) from the emergency kit.
never had any problems :) |
i have seen dealerships hooking a battery charger up to the battery while working on the car.

Remote Keyless entry system will not unlock doors
If you encounter a customer concern regarding doors not unlocking when using the Remote Keyless Entry System, check for possible installation of aftermarket LED light bulbs. These bulbs may produce electrical noise that may interfere with the operation of the Remote Keyless Entry System. If you determine the Remote Keyless Entry System door unlock malfunction is caused by an aftermarket accessory, inform the customer and do not attempt any repairs to the vehicle. |
some of these are not so great; I can easily reach in from the top side of the engine bay and remove all four spark plugs with a 3/8" ratchet and sparkplug socket, so why would I want to lift the car, pull a wheel, and use a long extension with swivel just to only reach two of the plugs that way? While you can reach the other two easily from underneath while it is up in the air that recommendation seems like extra time and effort which are the service techs worst enemy.

Hey, thanks for this thead! I just stumbled upon it, and saw the Manual Transmission Whirring Noise. Woo hoo! I've been paranoid about that sound for years, even though I know others have mentioned it too. I just figured all our clutch bearings or whatever were going bad, lol.
One less thing to obsess about! I've seen newbies ask about it from time to time as well, so it's nice to have something "official" to show them :) |
Just ran across this thread - good info - Thanks Ash...... for this all the other great posts....

New (revised) warnings about 'some' "aftermarket devices" which Mazda may warranty void on if the causal problem..
If you encounter any type of electrical concern (e.g, dead battery), interview the customer before proceeding with normal Workshop Manual diagnosis. Aftermarket devices may be the cause of the electrical concern. Ask the customer if any aftermarket devices have been installed. Below are a couple of examples of unusual electrical concerns caused by aftermarket devices. |
