Heard Autosaver started off with servicing Nissan cars. Now they have moved on to Mazda cars. Which outlet would you recommend to service Mazda cars? Thanks.

I serviced previously at toh guan. As i onky serviced there, i cannot comment.

I now send my car to a now good friend for repairs and servicing. He always give me good advice. And many times, source for GOOD recon or parts from scrap vehicles. He also does accident reparirs and insurance claims.

He also got a bodywork repair shopand pricing is good. But i recomend Paintless Dent Removal (PDR) if only dent and no paint damage. 

Like i mentioned, i recently know this guy from Mazda and he seem quite popular as every sunday i can see cars waiting to be serviced at the carpark.

I just changed the battery on my key fob myself. After changing the battery, I could not unlock and lock my car door remotely. There is light on the key fob meaning the battery is working. Anyone encountered similarly issue before?

 

Thanks

I bought and changed it myself without a problem. Did you get the battery right?

Why do you want to use 5W-40? Manufacturer has hours of testing to put the car together with rigorous testing, why change it?

Use 20 or 30. My 2006 Kia was on 20 previously without any engine failure. Please stick to manufacturer spec. and DO NOT over/under filled it. It is most important.

Do not use off specs oil bro. You will accelerate the wear n tear of your engine and your overall drivability and FC will suffer too.

If the owners manual specify 0w20, please use 0W20 or 5W20... and make sure the oil meets all current specs as per Mazda's recommendation. In general it should be GF5 and API SN+ rated.

Dear all who gotten the M6 lately with apple carplay/android auto, are we suppose to get a "genuine usb cable set"?

I was reading one of the manuals provided and it seems that a cable set is provided. 

I'm using high quality non original cable and it works.

Just collected my MZ 6 and encounter the following issue:

Rainy day, rear window no wiper = poor visibility.

 

Did not have such issue with my previous MZ 3. Maybe due to more streamlined contour of MZ 6. Any advice how to solve this issue?

you can turn on the rear heater and see if its better for you.

Nope, never had such issue with my previous ride MZ3 (sedan).

... and it was not a fogging issue. Heater does nothing to solve it.

Apply water repellent lor, water will glide down..

Hi Greenchilli,

Same same ... bro aztreonam advice rainx etc. treatment but need effort every 2-3 months to reapply and yes, it works for such raining days and if due to condensation, turn on heater then.

Cheers.

Not much difference from other sedan I drove. I applied rainx or equivalent.  If u can get use to the auto dim rear mirror with no on off feature, raining is ok

Exactly, took me to get used to sedan windscreen as I came from hatchback. I took about a few days to get used to it..

I will suggest doing the whole 9 yard. Claybar the rear windscreen to remove any contaminants.  Then apply rain x, let it haze for 15 mins and wipe off. 

For new car, I suggest reapplying it again a week later without claybar but after washing. 

After that i usually apply after 4-6 months or even longer
