Welcome to the forums Mazdaflash.

If you go to the "S Setion" here, the STR guys are very knowledgable. Before you take your car in be sure and post codes and symptoms.

**ALSO** Help us help you, goto User CP and in your signature please put year and model (your case 2003 STR).

mazda, English is a stickler of mine, so I corrected your thread title from 'brought' to 'bought', hope that's ok.

Sorry about the initial troubles, but that coolant line on those STRs under the supercharge have been a maintenance item for alot of these guys on the forums. Once its replaced though, you should be good.

I know we're all in a digital age and texting is the king of correspondence, but please consider this a step up, where grammar and punctuation makes a post much easier to read.

Good luck and congrats on your new car!

Welcome to the forum!

Oh one other thing you need to put your car details in your signature. I am speaking of the Year, Make & Model. Without it you may not get the input you are looking for.

Please take a moment and read the information provided to you explaining the rules. Be patient and enjoy the site.

Give it a little time and fix the things that need to be fixed once you get that done you will love the car and all of this will be history.
