Hi everyone,
So Ive owned my speed3 for about 5 months now and now that it is about 25 degrees out i am seeing a few things that i dont think should be happening.
I always let my car warm up in the morning because I always feel like it runs better when the car is warm (duh). But sometimes when running late for work I dont have time to warm the car up. Her are a few things that happen.
1. I live in a apartment complex and when backing out of my spot, then when I TURN THE WHEEL i hear a POP/GRIND noise its different every morning sometimes not as bad as other mornings. But no matter how long my car warms up in the mornings this always happens and ahs been happening ever since it got cold. After that first POP/GRIND in the morning when backing out of my spot it does not do it for the rest of the drive to work. The only time it does happen again is when I go home from work.
2. After I leave my neighborhood I get on the highway and travel my 20 miles to work. During my drive I am in 5th or 6th gear and when pushing the gas pedal down to the floor the car does not go any faster and it feels like the car is bogging out or it took a massive amount of water up the intake. The other morning I took off and right after leaving my neighborhood in 3rd gear it did the same thing. Both times I did not let my car warm up, and it seems to not do it when i let my car warm up for about 5 to 10 minutes when I am not running late to work.
This may have been a topic of the past and I did not take the time to look. I just joined the forums a few days ago and figured let me ask the guys on the forums. I was going to take it to Mazda and see what they say. But maybe you guys have the same issue?
Thanks in advance
