well I took my 03 5 in to the dealership last week for some erratic idle and clunking noise from inside the head.....

took them a week to figure out that the pistons were damaged, and they still dont konw what is rattling around in the head

service mgr says i need a new motor.........hopefully they'll cover it under warrenty

we'll see

i dunno they gave me some crap about if there's somehting inside the motor that shouldn't be there it wont be covered........now i dont konw what the hell could have gotten in there????

i'm pretty sure it will be covered

Might be one of the VTCS or VICS screws. I think that's happened before.

Don't worry, It sounds like it should be O.K.

i'm not too worried about it not being covered.....the only mod I had done to the motor was the AEM CAI and that was removed before the dealer saw it.....

the noise def sounded like there was a screw or something bouncin around in the head

I suppose you will now dress up in a Zorro costume and go on a personal vendetta against Mazda.

No matter how you try and spin it, fraud is fraud.
