My First Turbo Experience, Turns into my First turbo car. =) MPS3
Hi Guys
My name is Andrew. Little about myself, Im 22yo and currently doing my mechanics apprentice. I come from a background of VTEC cars, this is my first turbo. So i have much much to learn.
Soo long story short.. i picked up a MPS3 ( Aurora Blue) on saturday. My first experience of a MPS3 was actually before the MPS3 was even released to public back in late 2006( my very good mate works for mazda headoffice over in kingsgrove, so he gets to "break-in " the cars before release etc etc). Funny cause that was my first turbo experience , and three years later the same model car same colour turns up in my garage.
Concerns: I'm currently just over half a tank of petrol, and only sitting on 190km's.. ( pretty shocking fuel economy). Going to wack on a scan gauge this week, to hopefully find if there is any problems.
Oh, i bought my car from a used dealership(mazda), so i have 3 months bumper to bumper to warranty still, any sort of concerns i should bring to their attention so i can take advantage of the warranty while its around before its to late??
I also had the car up on the hoist at work, and noticed the fuel pump, is making a loud "whinning" noise, is this normal? Also I quickly inspected the brakes, there about 90% worn, im assuming they wont replace that under warranty.. your thoughts??
Thanks !
Hope to meet some of you guys at a cruise or something. =)
Mps rehab for turbo junkies u can checkout but u can never leave!!!!
:welcome: To OZMPSClub the message is up there :2thumb: check exhaust at idle if it's smoking turbo seals are gone . A/Blu ftw , as said mps's do not like city traffic also as said a tune may help with the economy , I recommend a sri & pod filter to let the little animal breath better , enjoy
