    Just had service with 10w40- will monitor if that resolved the smoking at idle issue- my fingers are crossed!

  2. Default Cx7

    Can my cx7 join in, PLEEEEEEASE.

    I was following a real estate around last week to look at rentals to live in while we build. I was waiting in the car and on idol I could see clouds of smoke blowing past. A day later I got my wife to drive it in front of me and she gave the throttle a big push and as soon as it down geared a massive puff of smoke came out. Just like some of you guys have said it is strange and very on and off sometimes its there and sometimes its gone. I took it to mazda and they took it for 15 minutes and came back with "we would like to book it in asap to fit a new turbo" So on friday she goes in.
    The one thing I want to know is will it be an identical turbo??? It has only done 34,000ks so will I only get 34,000 out of the next one??

    hmmm happens to u guys too huh ... they should replace it with the most recent model one whatever that is ... not sure about the k's you will get out of it ... apparently the earlier turbos were troublesome so when the seals go they replace it with the newest they have

    Well the new turbo seems to be an improvement. There's no more asthmatic power drop at 5500rpm when you have the boot in, it pulls through to about 6200rpm and the butt dyno registers more grunt. I'm not sure if that was just because the old turbo and O2 sensor were stuffed or this one gives more power, it sure feels like more power.

    Pretty sure your VIN has to be within a certain range and display the symptoms (smoking etc). I told them about it at a normal service and was booked in for a replacement turbo when I picked the car up after they were able to see for themselves.
