Newbie Dinosaur, MPS 6 owner, has questions
I have had a silver '06 Mazda 6 MPS for a year now. Bought it sight unseen interstate. It sounded (and still does) like a tractor. Have read forums on here saying similar noise on (most?) MPS. From reading forums I think it is something to do with the timing chain actuator or the hydraulic adjustor. The question is, is this something we should be really concerned about, it is going to cost us a lot of money, or is it just a sound that is synominous with these engines? Any advice would be most helpful. My wife was told when getting rego from the mechanic that there's something wrong with the engine and to make it somebody else's problem. I don't really want to do this as it is otherwise a great car. Thanks in advance.
