This is one instance (buying a CX5 that is) where the saying "better late than never" fits in perfectly. 😊

Many of us have gone through this problem of jumping and screaming wiper blades in Mazda cx5. For me the solution was Bosch blades that did the trick and they are still working after so many years. Sometimes I feel that over cleaning and waxing the windscreen makes it worse.

I love hud. It helps to keep your eyes on the road and it even covers the blind spot monitororing function and the GPS turn signal, besides the speed function. Shooting Migs too if they show up on my radar. So why not?

What size and type led bulb did you use in your trunk light of 2019 cx5? I can't seem to find the correct size.

And that sir is definitely NOT QED ( not quite easily done)! From another suffering European!

As far as the automatic park/ hand brake engagement during stop and shut off is concerned it will always do that if you had already engaged the autohold during that period of your journey. So if you decide to go on an errand and after starting the car you press the autohold button because you...

If you think that the filler caps are funky then try to fill it with distilled water, which is even more difficult since the level is not easily visible.

While you are applying silicone on the weather strips , don't forget to spray Teflon or carbon de-icer in the key holes so that the doors open in freezing cold. Charge your battery too just before or during winter and change to winter tyres!

It is all about money, economy (summer fluid is half the price) and besides the summer fluid looks and smells far nicer! It removes dead insects better too. My son uses a lot of washer fluid and sometimes I wonder if his car runs on washer fluid or petrol!

Hope you picked up the resetting technique from the dealer, you may need it if it plays up again. Thank you for letting us know.

No wonder my tail gate led replacement bulb was ok. BUT I panicked yesterday and changed it back to halogen before I read your reply! Damn! Punished for being impatient and a perpetual worrier.

Do you know which year or model they added a fuse to the rear trunk light? I have 2017 CX5 and changed the trunk light from halogen to led last year along with all internal lights. It still works properly, i.e. shuts off the trunk light on closing the tail gate, but I am worried. I have a backup...

Since yours is an optimum version you probably have a multibeam adaptive head light. I have a vision plus with single led single beam, shutter controlled automatic high beam, a simpler technique to yours. I have not seen any drop in brightness in my headlights in the 5 years that I have owned...

This information is incomplete in many ways and it does not enable any one to come to any conclusion. First of all what kind of headlight do you have? Halogen or LED? I have a LED and it has done more than 40000km but that is nothing for LED that should last a lifetime of the car, specially the...

Here in Sweden, we use a slightly different routine so that we do not get caught out with frozen windscreen washer fluids in the washer tank and pipes. During summer we use summer washing fluid and during winter we use -20c winter fluid and we do the switch over (without draining the summer...
