Wonder if the maps are ecu specific, or you could go 3 ways and 3 SD cards and only cost $100 for the maps :P

Had my 40,000kms service today. Was told there is a small leak coming from the sump. Required to reseal engine sump. This can be fixed under warrenty but they require the car for the day ?
I'm not a mechanic..is it that hard of a job requiring the car for the day ?
We told the guy we're going away in January, driving from Sydney to the QLD border. He that shouldn't be a problem if it doesn't get fixed by then. Is he correct ?
Given this is a warranty job, I wonder if I can take it any Mazda dealer ? like a one close to me.
(my car was bought with a an extended warranty that requires it to be serviced by the dealer that is very far from me ..PITA to get to)
Mate if it is only a small leak then it should not be such a big problem, but in saying that, it could get bigger. Does it leave oil on the surface where you park your car? That will tell you how serious the problem is. The job itself is not such a big task, but getting to the sump you have a lot of kit that has to be removed. A day seems fair.
It took me my whole lunch break, but I've gotten through this thread!
My car is having it's 50000km (at 45000km) service today, and forgot to mention the cruise issue this morning. Will have to see what they say when I pick it up.
Other than that, I've not had any issues *touch wood*
***edit. Forgot to ask. I was too busy being blown away but the dealer dropping me off at work, and then picking me up again at the end of the day. Don't get service like that very often!

'oh, that's what that yellow car is for, I thought it was the "you're doing great" light!'
Had my sump resealed under warranty at my Mazda dealer today.
They noticed an issue last service. Said it wasn't serious and it could be fixed anytime. I didn't want to take the risk given we're driving quite a distance over the xmas break.

Update: Mazda confirmed today that I need to have my fuel tank replaced. They are shipping one up from Melbourne overnight and will install it tomorrow. That's some good form from their spare parts if they can get that organized so quickly!

Got the car back this afternoon, I got really lucky with the fuel tank being only an overnight shipping job. So glad I didn't have to wait 6 weeks to get one in.
Replaced under warranty, only thing I had to pay for was the fuel to fill it up. Very very happy with that warranty job. They even returned it to me all clean, shiny and freshly washed.
The loose baffle issue is quite rate but they have seen it happen before.
Yes, Ive had this problem (~54K) and helped the dealer identify and fix the problem. Put simply, you need to service the EGR assembly, does not matter what fuel you use, gunk builds up and needs a good clean.
The history with the dealer:
1. Replaced fuel tank
2. Replaced HP fuel pump
3. Checked for leaking injectors
4. Cleaned EGR assembly
The first three was the dealer liasing with Mazda HQ to resolve the problem.
Issues of concern i will bring upon to mazda on 70k service....
- When i put it into reverse and reverse back a little it does a once off knock sound? Sounds like its not engaged properly then suddenly clicks in. Still reverses completely fine though. Anyone know if/what issue this is?
- I have a release bearing sound. Cant hear it with radio or driving. However low speed you can definitely hear it. Anyone know if this is covered under warranty? Big job as i assume its part of the clutch. Still nothing wrong with it, still changes gear perfectly. Just annoying..
- Clunking sound when changing gears slow to moderate. Anyone know if this is an issue aswell that can be taken upon warranty? Or if it is an issue at all?
- Brakes have an intermittent slight squeal when at less than 10km to a complete full stop. Also has same sound on first start up and braking first couple of minutes. Also a little more noisy in hot weather too. Is this an issue or more likely pads never been replaced and needs replacing?
Can i just say, i never read this thread but... I've had mine replaced a few months ago... Thought i was the only one with this issue. Baffles in the fuel take broke off and was scraping, sounded like i was on a boat.. Full replacement tank. When i was scheduled to pick up the car, they told me something was wrong with the fuel sensors as well and it wasn't working.. Anyways, tank had to be an imported item as apparently no one in Aust stocks them. At the time apparently Melb dealership was ordering one but they couldn't take it. MAYBE IT WAS YOURS!! haha

I've had mine replaced last year and @Reedy replaced his too

Not keen on a fuel tank replacement...
My gearbox is a little clunky also, but that may be due to the fact that Mazda have used some serious internal work to keep it in one peice @ 380NM not to mention the triple-synchro 1st/2nd gear make it even more clunky when cold.
My brakes also have a little squeal (just assumed it was new pads, only 2200KM) but it only occurs if it's cold or if I have not driven the car in a few days.
