Hi,

I had the 6th year service on my Mazda3 completed during the week.

The Mazda delaer commented that the inlet manifold gasket *may* be leaking air.

The car's covered only 31,500 miles! What could've caused this?

Dealer has quoted £231 to rectify. I explained that I have a Mazda Extended Warranty but dealer stated that Mazda would need evidence of the fault. The evidence is the illumination of engine-check warning lamp.

It appears that Mazda dealer is happy to do the repair if the customer pays but mention a warranty claim and they appear not interested.

I've read a lot of owner criticism recently concerning the declining standards of Mazda customer care. This appears to be another example.

Otherwise has been great car, very very reliable.
