Good Morning, I have just bought a Mazda 6 Estate - wow what a car, love it. I have a small issue though. When starting the car iwith a cold engine everything is good. When the engine is warm, and it is intermittent ( maybe 2-3 times a week), the car takes a couple of turns before she fires. As soon as the engine fires there is a terrible mechanical noise and the car stalls. Try immediately after - all OK. I have ruled out DMF , as clutch and gearbox are good. I have ruled out any water getting into cylinders as coolant level is stable. Has anyone any ideas ? Could it be the starter moter sticking in the gearing when it trys to turn the engine over.
Any help would be great.
Thanks
Ian
