ok, i'll put this here in the mazda thread instead of starting a new thread:

wifey has a Mazda famila, and the previous owner wasn't too car inclined. When we bought the car, it seemed like he had never done a tune up, or at least not recently. The car is practically new, low mileage, as it was parked up most of the time.

Since the tune up, everything is better of course, except now on a morning when the car is started, i get a few seconds of smoke (no its not condensation)..as if the car is burning off oil. What could be causing that?

Anohter thing, I hate how a mazda sounds when its starting Surprised

that kind of grinding start is so annoying..my previous cars would start with ease and a healthy sound. As far as i've seen, its typical of mazda 323 to start like that, as i've driven 2 previously at another compnay (brand new locally) and they were the same..What can I do to stop that? or at least have it sound healthier?

Cmon Mazda ppl, help out a mazda newbie

^^ yep its a very mechanical sound.. the starter is still like new, so I dont think the servicing might help it.

The smoke that i'm getting is indeed an oily smoke, as if the car is burning off excess oil when parked up for a bit, and then it stops. Could that be a sign that rings are going?
It only happens for that short bit, and I feel no other drawbacks of worn rings, e.g. loss of compression etc. The car drives perfectly otherwise..
