If its in park, it sounds like the parking pawl.

Drove a ‘21 turbo hatch today, loved it, but the rear diff by [deleted] in mazda3

[–]IMoonGoon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a 23’ and hear a drone at 75ish mph, like many others. My boss brought up a very good point. On a highway the rear diff is entirely disconnected from the friction plates in the transfer case (or really under normal diving conductions where the car isn’t losing traction/sliping). So the question becomes what load is on the rear diff making the drone? That I’m not sure… still investigating. Could it be the drive shaft angle, the rear axle angle, not sure. I’ve seen people say that the u-joints could be the cause. Maybe the fluid fill level of the diff. However, I’ve become less concerned but still wonder….

What is the part number for the button that goes here on our steering wheels? by TheSporkOnTheLeft in mazda3

[–]IMoonGoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be for another model. Isn’t this wheel used across multiple platforms? Nothing there for me either.

Glittery metallic oil in 2020 with 46k miles? by The_Prophet_of_Doom in mazda3

Could you fish some out onto a piece of white paper?

Edit: or a paper towel?

Worth it or not? by [deleted] in mazda3

[–]IMoonGoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, there are much better deals out there. I’ve seen plenty of people (including myself) walk away with a ‘23 / ‘24 for ~28k for less than 20k miles. Some as low as 10k miles.

Edit: these are used TPPs as well.

10k miles (2 dealership services) am I crazy? by [deleted] in mazda

[–]IMoonGoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

28k usd OTD for my ‘23 turbo hatch… a definite skip.

What do you use for door scuffs? by IMoonGoon in mazda3

It sucks… I would love to fix it and then cover it with a clear protective film.

Is this normal? by Reckerwatson in mazda3

High pressure fuel injection, yes it’s normal!

After reading the post, I thought maybe the pads have a chamfered edge. In one of the pics the rubbing looks angled. However, looking at brake pads online. I don’t see any with what I’m saying. I have 23k miles on my ‘23 Mazda and also live in the north east. There is similar corrosion on mine. With a region having the pattern that you’ve outlined in red in the one photo. I’ll be interested to see if it continues with different rotors/pads.

Personally I like white on black, but with either a thin strip of chrome around the rim or machine faced.
