Yes, I purportedly had it done on a 2014 while in for service. I cannot say it improved performance or mpg compared to the same time last year when I was touring, or, in other words, driving lengthy distances on the highway. In my opinion, it is somewhat self-defeating to reduce emissions if fuel economy suffers as a result. I will have to revert to Shell V or BP Ultra to determine if the fuel economy improves. Has anyone else noticed a decline since the PCM upgrade? In addition to reseating them with new washers and the correct torque, they were supposed to inspect the injectors that were leaking. They wait until it occurs, causes engine damage, and then expect you to pay for repairs.

That's the website, and if you input your vehicle registration number, you can see whether there are any open recalls and when your MOT is due. After the dealership enters the information into the system, there will be no recalls shown under Reg. I see that you don't have a Gen 3 vehicle, to which this recall pertains. If you go to the website's bottom of page 4 and change the construction date to 2013 and the recall date to November 2018, you should see relevant information.

I had this done on my 2014 diesel before heading up to Aberdeen and back, with a stop in Shetland in between. Even on lengthy steady drives at 70mph utilising cruise control, the fuel consumption was greater than projected; moreover, the frequency of DPF regeneration increased, assisting and abetting the bad fuel consumption. So nobody knows what went wrong with this software upgrade. I've also noted that the oil level has risen after barely 2k miles since the servicing. This automobile is also needed to have the injectors removed for cleaning and retorqueing, according to the Vosa webpage on recalls, however this was not done during the service. I received the sense that dealers only remove the injectors if they detect one blowing, by which point the lubricating fluid and the rest of the engine have been damaged. Vosa - Vin numbers 105 981 - 347 652 (the final six digits of your vin) are listed as 'injector nuts' (incorrectly tightened at the factory). R/2018/259 R/2018/288 Fuel Injector Software These are the Vosa numbers; they all fall under the Mazda number AJ 0024*, followed by A to E depending on the SSP. Mazda Japan issued this recall a year ago, hence Mazda Europe/UK has been slow to respond.

Hi everybody, I'd appreciate some assistance and guidance. I have a 2014 2.2 diesel with slightly over 79k miles on it. I bought it brand new and had it serviced by Mazda with all of the needed recalls and upgrades. So the dpf inspection needed light came on the other day? So I scheduled an appointment with Mazda to get this looked out. It took a call from the garage to be informed that they attempted a force regeneration on it but it could not be done? According to what I've been informed, the injectors are defective, several sensors need to be replaced, and the head has to be de-coked due to carbon buildup, yeah, and the dpf is most likely clogged. I also omitted to mention the increasing oil price. Has anybody else had problems with their vehicle after the engine software update (AJ024*) and the intake shutter valve (AK016A) recalls? I'm not sure whether any of these recalls contributed to the failure of these components since the garage said that one item failed and then other parts were removed. On the Honest John forum, I read that someone had the shutter valve updated and the garage conducted a carbon clean, which I don't believe was done to mine. Grasping at straws I'm not sure, but I was wondering if anybody else had similar difficulties and what the outcome was, since the expense of repairs is going to outweigh the value of the vehicle, so I may as well scrap it, which is not what I expect from a 5 12 year old automobile.

If you suspect a problem with your steering rack, try making gentle U-turns and letting the wheel "centre" itself when the turn is completed. Turn around numerous times in each direction. A faulty steering rack may be identified by a steering wheel that no longer returns to its original position when centred. (I used this test on another vehicle when I suspected (but the dealer service personnel insisted) a faulty steering rack; once the dealer recognised my diagnosis, they replaced the rack under warranty).

Howdy, what am I required to do? I have tuned up the audio to its maximum, but I'm still not enthralled.

Yes, I believe that utilising the camera is the most convenient choice due to the automatic dimming rearview mirror and the substantially tinted back windows. Although it's simpler to utilise the camera & wing mirrors in low light, I still attempt to reverse park using my wing mirrors & the little vision from the back view mirror. While seated in the front, it's not an issue; I must say, I don't like the black roof lining. I don't know how my (adult) daughter will feel about the 340-mile trip to Mallaig in the back seat - I asked her opinion before I bought the car, and she said it was dark, but OK. She has since said it is very dark in the back, and she used to whine that she couldn't see much out of the windows in my Gen 2. She'll be seeing even less in the Gen 4!

This is just a clever way of saying that the GT Sport Tech has a tonne of extras compared to the base model of my old Tamura. The most notable features are a 360-degree camera, radar cruise control, and steering assist (I disabled the latter since it alerted me with alarms and vibrations every time I crossed lanes without signalling (even when merging back in after passing) or approached the white line).

My Gen 2 just hit 75,000 miles, all but the first five of which I had driven, and its 8th birthday was in March. With the MOT coming up and £750 worth of warnings on last year's report, I chose to replace it before the MOT instead of waiting until October, when I retire. I had a budget of £20,000 plus a trade-in, and I was able to get an ex-demo 2.0 Skyactive G with 2,400 miles on it and black 18-inch wheels, a front air dam, side skirts, and a rear roof and under bumper for just the right amount. Because I didn't like the tyre repair kit, I even bought a space-saving wheel, jack, etc. It's Very Nice. I've gotten used to the bells and whistles, but the small orchestra is still giving me trouble. One point for the mods: the personal info choices need to be updated to include the current model details and Soul Red Crystal (46V) as a colour option.
