Was notified from Mazda on a recall. The recall was for a defective tension spring for the timing belt. Took it to dealer and they had to replace part. Now I have strange noise in the engine compartment. I have taken the car back to the dealer several times with no results. They state that there is nothing wrong but I still have an engine noise that wasn't there before I took it in for the recall. I am looking for the factory rep. To help solve this problem.
