Hi

This Mazda 6 has slipped its inlet cam timing and caused it to loose power misfire and finaly die.

It was towed back to the garage that serviced it a week ealier and I was called in to diagnose it.

The problem is the car owner is jumping up and down blaming the garage, saying they are at fault, because he spoke to two different main agents who told him 'they do not slip, it is impossible'

Can anyone inform me if there is a TSB issued on these L3 engines regarding this issue?

Regards

Simon

Hi

As far as I know. A fairly 'standard' service. Oils, filters, brakes ect.

There were no major engine work and they a pretty switched on to oil grades.
