Here it is... i just whent to two other dealers. Mecanics and withou telling them what MAZDA sais, they both came up with a code starting with a P with is linked to a small sensor relating to antipolution Ho by the way this one is 30 $ compared to the two 400$ oxygen sensorrs mazda whanted to change. Mazda charged me 100 $ the give me the diagnostic for 1400 $ of repair... OCTO garage in HULL quebec found the problem replaced the sensor for 120 $ if i would if did it my self 2 Hours plus 30$ ...


AND THEY SAY WE TREAT THEM LIKE ROBERS.......???????
