My check engine light went on in my 2021 Mazda CX5 so I brought it into the dealership and the water valve, water pump gasket were replaced as part of the warranty. 2 weeks later I got sent a speeding ticket for my car, the day the car was in the shop. The ticket was taken about 12 miles away from the dealership.
I spoke to someone at the dealership and they claim that anytime work like this is done on the coolant system they need to drive the car to get the water temperature gauge down and eliminate any air pockets. At first he said 10 miles, then it kept creeping up to 30 miles. They are going to pay my speeding ticket, but i'm also trying to figure out if what he said is legitimate.
Does this sound right? Thank You In Advance!
