This sucks.
Car just hit 20,000 miles. I don't abuse it, completely stock.
I'm driving along the highway, starting notice reduction of power in 6th gear.
I press down on the gas, boost is struggling to build up. Suddenly I hear this awful grinding noise. White smoke coming out of the tail pipes.
Immediately pull off the next exit and call mazda for a tow.
They want every single oil change I've completed on the car. Trying to dig those up. My friend is telling me oil has nothing to do with the blown turbo because it's water cooled...any validity behind that statement?
I'm just hoping Mazda doesn't come back and deny the warranty if I can't get all the receipts.
Pictures that don't really do much:
