Can somebody post the fix to save me trawling please?
Just travelled from Swindon area to Birmingham Airport. Nice strong signal to Worcester area and then nothing......hmmmm. Update installed a couple of days ago.
Off topic I know, but would appreciate any help.
I had the car in the dealers 3 days ago and had the ecu/dipstick problem sorted and also the exhaust pressure sensor replaced-which Mazda had written to me about last week.
I've only done about 40 miles since, but on a short run of about 6 miles each way today the consumption increased dramatically. At a steady 35 to 45mph on a flat road it was registering anything between 22 and 31 mpg. This would normally be in the 40-50+ mpg range.
Is this any connection with diesel regeneration I've heard about? If so, how often does it happen and how can I tell when it's happening and can I do anything to reduce it from happening?
Any comments would be appreciated as I am wondering if the dealer somehow did something wrong when it was in and if I need to take it back.
Thanks Buzzx6r for clarifying the regeneration part, I must have forgotten reading about it in the manual 6 months ago. I worded part of the question badly, it's not that I want to stop the regeneration, it's more a case of what determines the frequency-which you have answered as frequent short journeys.It could be the diesel particulate filter being cleaned and regenerated. You can tell because the MPG drops, as explained in the manual. The car has a number of sensors to determine when it needs doing. Frequent short trips will cause it to activate more regularly. Why would you want to stop it?
