Re: Smart City Brake Support

Hi HumberMart, My SCBS has operated two or three times since I got my CX-3, but never approaching a car. My work place has a barrier (a horizontal pole on an arm that raises to a vertical position) that requires a car to stop and use a key to enter, but automatically opens as you approach it when le...

Re: Can't chill out

This problem has been ongoing since May, but hopefully it has been put to bed now. It does seem strange that deep blue got a condenser fitted in an hour, while it took jtonline half a day, and then the same job took me from 08:30 Monday till 14:30 Tuesday. On the plus side I did get a courtesy car, ...

Re: Can't chill out

Hi, That's my car just back from two days in the garage fitting the new condenser. I've finally got a/c again. :D A bit late for the hot weather, although demisting should be an awful lot quicker now. It took quite a while for the part to come, so I suspect it must have been shipped all the way from...

Re: Can't chill out

Hi Folks, Still not got my a/c fixed yet. Last week, on the day before the car was due to go in for repair I got a phone call from the dealer. The part hadn't been delivered and was marked as being on back order. I was told that this usually means a 1 or 2 week delay. So looks like it should still b...

Re: Can't chill out

Hi Folks, Sorry about the delay in letting you know what happened, but here it is now. I took my car into the dealer on the Wednesday, only to be told it had been booked in for the day before ! :x I knew I had booked it for the Wednesday as that was my day off that week. The Tuesday or any other day...

Re: Can't chill out

Very disappointing to report that my a/c has stopped working again. I noticed over the last couple of weeks that the chilled air went to cold air, went to cool air, and is now at outside temperature air. Car is booked into the dealer on Wednesday, so will have to wait till then to find out what is h...

Re: Mazda CX-3 iStop - problem or no problem?

The i-stop on my car has worked fine since day one. It's just over 13 months since I got the car and I must say it keeps surprising me how much time the i-stop has been active. It currently has been active for about 10 hours ! That is 10 hours of wasted fuel and engine wear I've saved. On the downsi...

Re: Can't chill out

Hi Folks, As promised here is the latest on my faulty air conditioning unit. The dealership collected my car about 8:40 this morning for what I expected to be the whole day. However, at 1:00 pm I got a phone call telling me the a/c was fixed and it was on the way back to me. :D On arrival the driver...

Re: Can't chill out

Hi Kiwi, Sorry to hear about your a/c problem. The only good thing seems to be that at least they know what the problem is in your case. Mine was in for 2 hours and they want it back in for a whole day (talking about removing the nose cone) just to try and find out what the fault is. If they do find...

Re: Can't chill out

That's interesting anchorman. I will be sure to mention this when the car goes back in next month. One of the US forum members said he was getting a strange noise from the a/c, but I certainly didn't hear anything from mine. Just no cold air. Also the US forum talks about removing the dashboard for ...
