just to clarify, they MIGHT void your warranty IF that component has caused the problem, eg, if you get CELs and you have a MSP CAI..

I got you there, however, some dealerships won't do some warranty work even if the mod in question has nothing to do with the issue.... i hear that there are a few dealerships that do this (Oakville Mazda is an example).

You're engine blew up not too long ago right? I thought I read something about you were driving along and all of a sudden your engine started knocking and banging.

What was it that caused this?

Justin.... If you havent heard the clips... you need to find them! I cant believe how bad it was. Sounded like he was on ONE cylinder... Im happy that they gave him a new engine.... was the least they could do! Good luck with the new engine B-man!

This thread won't be very useful. I've gone to Avante for some major engine problems and got taken care of very well. Fully aware of the aftermarket parts I had that would have directly affected the engine (okay fine, just the darn CAI).

But when a friend took their car in, fully stock, they were treated almost like the street bum who sleeps in the TTC stations.

Just saying, a dealership won't treat Mr. Brown great just because Mr. Smith got grade A service. ;)

ya, i feel like i get the shaft from erin mills mazda and they've had my car since new....granted i didn't buy from them, but they are the only dealership to ever service my car....took me about 5 months of haggering to get a side mirror switched due to their error to begin with...

i wondering what i'm going to do with the bubbling wheels now..

Yep. One second was working. Next it sounded like someone banging pots and pans together. Here is the link :)

I still haven't heard back what was wrong.
All they were able to tell me is that when they took the oil filter out chunks of metal came out with it :(

Ya... It was a special day when it went to shit. I sounded like a joke driving home @ crawling speed.

All fixed tho. Works like a charm again :)

Ya almost all of us at the oakville meets (as I am sure 50% of mazda 3 owners have the same issue or will have it) have rims with bubbles all over them... There is a thread somewhere about all this... Makes the rims look like 17" acne rims.

Yup, same deal with me (bubbling rims). That's why I now have winters on them.
