hi gang

i was wandering if any one eles but me keep on earing noise from my engine.

Every time i start my p5 the engine ratles,not to loud but stil i hear it and it bothers me very much, i am not talking about ideling, i am talkig about at cold enging and for the first few minites. it ratles until it gets up in temp. i told that to my dealer(bank street maxda in ottawa) and he told me that mazda knows the proble because of lots of complaint

 

I have the same issue with my Pro5 they told me its something to do with the PCM..Plus now my coolant levels keep droping.

 

The coolant level problem is unrelated to the cold start rattling. I would have the dealer check it out.

 

proper way to check coolant levels is mark the tank when it car is cold and again when hot. Your coolant should never drop below the cold and just vary between the marks.
