    2010 Mazda3S - water leak? Found moisture in spare tire well

    Wondering what the cause of this could be - it's never had a moisture issue before. My wife accidentally broke the roof antenna while removing snow. I taped it together using gorilla tape. I recently opened the cover to the spare tire compartment and noticed moisture in the mat under the...

    2.5 NA Cracked Cylinder Head with Oil leaking...How common is this?

    Edmaz, are you talking about the public Mazda CX-5 Facebook group? There is also a private one. I searched the public one and there were no hits on Cracked Cylinder Head.

    Windshield Cowl Drain Clogged

    Was that the correct link? I saw how to remove the panel behind the passenger side sill, and how to clean out leaves; but not how to unclog the drain tube. Would it be ok to carefully use a coat hanger?

    2010 Mazda3 S Grand Touring Hatchback inspection

    We’re choosing to ignore the sensor. The door is still locked and won’t open accidentally. It depends whether you think $300 is worth it To fix the issue.

    I wish I could turn off cylinder deactivation

    I have averaged about 32-33 mpg per the display on long trips driving 65-70 on the interstate.

    Lots of CX-5s in Northern VA. But they are still outnumbered by CR-Vs and RAV-4s.

    I feel your pain. It's hard to remember all these settings especially when we get older!

    2010 Mazda3 S Grand Touring Hatchback inspection

    My wife is the original owner of a 2010 3S hatchback. No real problems except for random electrical problems that involve the door sensors indicating a door (usually the front passenger side door) is open. Shutting the door by pulling it harder works. Other than that, no real problems with...

    Fuel gauge accuracy?

    I ran my CX-5 until the low fuel warning light illuminated and I filled up with 12.4 gallons when the gauge said only 5 miles remained. So it appears that there were almost 3 gals of fuel left in the tank. Does this sound right? I didn't add much extra fuel when the gas pump clicked off, only...

    MPG Gauge Blue Line Question

    I’m not sure the blue mark has ever moved in my experience. After a fill up on a long trip, the mpg starts in the low twenties and slowly increases to around 32.5 the longer I drive. I have seen 33.x mpg, but not in awhile.

    Where is the knock sensor on a SkyActiv 2.5L engine?

    Hope my wife’s 2010 Mazda 3S 2.5L engine lasts that long. It only has 40k miles on it now.
