    Re: gas sprouts out when filling empty tank

    Lol my Audi would do this, it's due to pressure build up only happens when the tanks low and it's hot out. Solution is to honestly shake the car push it up and down side to side with the cap off.
  4. Re: Droning/whirling noise when braking/turning

    Wheel bearings are fine no play, sound does not decrease with load or without. For now new pads seem to have calmed the problem it's has been raining so I wonder if that's helping
  5. Re: Droning/whirling noise when braking/turning

    OE rotors. Cheap semi metallic pads, sounds like metal to metal almost like drilling into metal with a dull bit lol

  9. Re: Things to check before 3 year warranty expairs

    2009's are petty solid, Rust would be the main thing, but I believe the perforation warranty is 6 years? so it shouldn't matter for the 3 year.
  10. Re: Getting rid of a 04' Hatch (Price check?)

    4000 is a good starting point
  11. Re: Same here, got Hit & Run, need advices :(

    Just looking at the damage, it won't be worth it to go through insurance, I would say it's a sub 2000$ job, doesn't look like you will need a new bumper cover.

    Re: Good Fellows Auto Wholesalers?

    You should get a carproof not a carfax for canadian cars, a carfax report might not show the accidents that a carproof would.
  14. Re: Authorized dealerships vs independents for a used Mazda?

    Vehicles aren't designed to break, they break from lack of maintainance,wear/tear, or improperly manufactured parts.
  15. Re: Authorized dealerships vs independents for a used Mazda?

    Best bet is to buy private, you can find one in good shape with service records that is thousands of dollars cheaper than buying from a dealership. It's rare to find a dealer that has service records...

    Re: rust growing around 3rd brake light

    Hard to prevent it, just clay bar the car and put a few coats of wax, it will help. White is the worst colour for showing "rail dust".

    Re: Trying to get better mileage in a 2007 2.3L

    It's winter, your fuel economy will suffer regardless, the 2.3L's aren't really that fuel efficient to begin with so 10L/100k is pretty good for winter driving.

    Re: When I brake, steering wheel shakes

    Brake rotors is the usual culprit majority of the time, I had a small shimmy when braking, ended up being a busted up wheel bearing. Have a qualified shop inspect it and you'll know 100%.

  21. Re: Increased road noise after hitting a curb

    Just jack the front end up and spin the wheel you should hear it right away if it's making noise, move it in/out to check for wheel play as well. I would bet on a ****ed up wheel bearing.
