    2017~2024 Folding side mirrors

    They can be made reliable. My father’s old ‘93 Isuzu Trooper (he purchased new) has power folding mirrors that still work to this day. I have them on my ‘12 GX 460 and never an issue with them there either.

    FSM so far doesn't seem to cover that repair... only the left and right drive shaft seals

    Preventative Maintenance List for 10 year old / 150k mile CX-5

    Since I have no noticeable oil consumption and drivetrain noise is fine with me… I’m sticking with Mazda 0W-20 Moly for this vehicle’s life. :-) @JustThisguy - I just did a full brake job (rotors, pads, hardware) and full brake fluid flush with a Motive bleeder...

    Issue after replacing standard 2014 CX-5 halogen headlights with LED ones (AFS function)

    I think this is the first I've seen of a halogen to AFS-HID retrofit on a 13-15 CX-5 Did you base this on an exist writeup somewhere? If so..can you point to it? I have stock AFS-HIDs in my '15 but still curious

    2015 CX-5 OEM pad/rotor/hardware (MazdaSwag) and brake fluid flush

    I didn’t get a chance to take a picture of extracted fluid but it was a little darker than vial on the left. Easy one person job… sit back and wait for fluid bleed on each wheel. I try to keep the bleeder container at 10 psi. I put fluid in pressure container with mine.. I know some just use...

    What to do when your vehicle is submerging?

    That Fireman’s tool I kinked to early looks like it can punch through and cut laminate but can’t imagine this would be easy inside the car and add submerged to boot

    What to do when your vehicle is submerging?

    Assuming the events that occurred prior to submerging don’t take out the battery. I’ve seen more wrecks with prior submersion damage than just a direct launch into the water. Doubtful any manufacturer but really high end are going to install secondary batteries to the power window motors.

    Cleaned the intake valves on my 2013 CX-5

    Possibly delay but not prevent eventual buildup from what I have observed others report. There is kind of a quasi catch can setup from factory but I don’t think there is anywhere you drain it. I’ll have to pull a schematic up. It may be different on the Gen 2 motors though. The engine setups...
