Replying to: networkguy (Mar 02, 2008 5:20 pm) That's been my experience as well. I've had one CEL, and it went off on its own. I later had the shutter valve recall, so that probably fixed the problem for good. My biggest problem is deciding whether to get the Mazdaspeed CAI or the Cobb SRI...  In any event, I'm glad I was able to help. |

Replying to: roadburner (Mar 02, 2008 5:36 pm) That's what they replaced on mine prior to issuing the recall. I'm thinking about the Mazda CAI. I'm too busy/lazy to pull out a 3rd party aftermarket part before a dealership service appointment. I was thinking about the cat back exhaust too, but I've heard the stock exhaust is actually pretty good.

Replying to: networkguy (Mar 02, 2008 8:21 pm) I'm going to check with my dealer and see if the Cobb will cause any warranty hassles. I like the Mazda CAI but for the fact that you have to pull the undertray and the wheelwell liner in order to access the filter for cleaning...  I was thinking about the cat back exhaust too, but I've heard the stock exhaust is actually pretty good. Me too; based on what I've read on some of the Mazdaspeed forums the stock MS3 cat-back exhaust is more than adequate until you start cranking up the boost- which is something I don't plan to mess with. |

 Hello all MazdaSpeed3 and Mazda3 owners. I own a 2007 Speed3 with only 6500 miles which began belching blue smoke. A trip to the dealer resulted in the dealer being instructed by Mazda Tech to hold my car and order a new Turbo. The replacment Turbo is on national backorder at this time. I've since learned that my car is among a number of Speed3s which are requiring replacment of the Turbo. I have not seen any postings of this problem here, so unfortunately I guess I'm the first to report this here at Edmunds. |

Hi, i need your guys help again. This tire blowout incident is becoming a costly headache!!! After a week i got my car back & was recommended to do a alignment. The impact of whatever the tire struck (or vice versa) was so hard they said there was a hole in the tire (explains the bent rim & bumper damage). The front where it happens makes a pop, "boing" noise when the wheel is turned lock to lock. Also on that side, when i drive & go over certain bumps, you hear & feel a knock. I had a alignment done today but still noticed some things and wondered if someone could tell me if i might be so i can have it checked & hopefully fixed... 1. steering wheel still not centered, turned slightly to right & hear a "rubbing sound when i turn it. 2. when i drive & go over certain bumps, you hear & feel a knock. 3. makes a pop, "boing" noise when the wheel is turned lock to lock (something in strut, suspension?). Much appreciation & Thanks in advance!!
