New update

Well the car is still at mazda , they replaced the contoler for the secondary oil pump (oil injectors) now they are getting all sorts of codes. So they are back to thinking bad PCM. So now back to waiting for Mazda Canada.

It feels like my poor car has been in the shop all summer

 

I've been keeping an eye on this thread, what was the mileage on your car when this happened?

And yes it does suck that your car has been in the shop for so long. They can change the motor in less time

 

I have 40k on the car. It happened back in mid to late july.
I am going to do my weekly Wednesday call for update. I hope to know more

 

Update !!!!!! New Engine
Well ppl I would hope I should on have 1 more update after this when the new engine is in.

That right 40 000km on a 2009 r3 . New engine time. I think I might be the first with a s2 and new engine. I hope to have the car by Friday. at least that what's Mazda said

 

I'm glad your getting a new motor or most likely a remain, but shitty it took 2 months to figure
out.

Did they come up with a solid reason for what happened

 

From what I was told they just ran out of things to try. so no reason right now on what the cause was.
And ya remain but a s2 ver and I bet their could not have been to many of them done yet. so it might be a end of production one.

 

As I understand it, oil supply or coolant supply to the throttle body is not for cooling purposes, but for heating purposes. When the outside air is cold and humid, and the throttle valve is mostly closed, the drop in air pressure behind the throttle valve can cause the humidity to freeze into ice inside the throttle body, jamming the throttle valve. Oil flow or coolant flow is provided to keep the throttle body warm enough that it can't ice-up.

 

Update !!!!

Well still don't have my car, I stopped by mazda today the old engine is out new one is half in. yay well not so much I found out in the 8 weeks it has been there my Odula Lip got busted ... not impressed.

 

This sucks for you, your going to get the car back just in time to put it away for the winter.
(bummer)!!!!!!

 

UPDATE!!! so Monday I picked up my car got it home and big pool of oil under it!!!!! took it back in ..... the there is a seal broken @$$#%@ and they were to fx it today he called me and told me that the did want to hold up a lif all day so the bumped my car !!! I guess 10 weeks of waiting doesn't me anything.... after this I don't think I would ever buy another mazda again or recommend one.. I have just had it

 

So sad,just a shitty dealer. I'd be F-ing pissed also.Guys in the GTA area take thier cars to Scarborough Mazda if dealer stuff is required and seem to do well.

Good luck and keep us posted

 

Well the comedy of errors continue..... the tool req to do the work ... ya they cant seem to find it so they have to order one to do the work !!! r u fing kidding me. I just don't know what to do anymore.

 

Nothing really you can do,they have to complete their work. Hopefully correctly and when they're
complete and everything is fine, let them know how dissapointed you are in their dealership and service department and just move on.

 

Bingo ...

 

Ya 3rd engine now !!! Let's hope this one works

 

They are ******* it up more than they are fixing it. the oil in intake thing could be just a bad pcv valve for all I know. Its the only thing controlling the pressure in the crank case.

 

Yay new update....... they lost the engine hmmm don't know when they will get it.

lucky week 13 with no car

 

update !!! good news New engine is in the car!!! and from what I was told they did not send a referb this time .... it look like a brand new one.!!

 

I know that there haven't been any new engines for Series 1 for a while, though I could see Series 2 new engine still in stock somewhere to obtain. Gratz!
