Hi All After purchasing a 2010 diesel sport 2.2 and very impressed with the car. I have researched the common engine problems regarding the dpf filter and timing chain issues.I rang my local dealer and spoke to the service manager to ask about the chain stretching? He replied yes they do and the usual warning is the dpf light flashing!I gave him my registration and he checked its service history.He replied that mine had had a new timing chain at 42,000 miles in 2012.Now at 100,000 he recommended another change!  Although they were fitting modified ones back then it didn't show this on the service records!!I asked him how much to re-new it again he said around £1000 to do!!!

This link is for a mazda specialists in Ireland which explains everything you need to know about the dreaded DPF and timing chain issues and what can ultimately happen!!
