    P0421: Warm Up Catalyst Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1)

    Well, I was hoping that the air filter would fix my problem. It did not. Few days later the P0421 code came back. Tried some catacleaner, it worked. For a day. Next morning, the fault came back. Today I stopped by my local dealer for a "professional diagnostic", hoping that they would tell me...

    Advice for first trip to indie mechanic? 2021 CX-5

    Another advice: stick with your plan. Oil change and maybe tire rotation. Nothing less, nothing more. Make sure they have 0W20 or 5W30, whatever oil you use for your car, and if they try to hook you for something else, don't budge: " I'll think about it, I'll do it next time".

    Advice for first trip to indie mechanic? 2021 CX-5

    I wouldn't worry about it too much. Oil change can be done pretty much anywhere, any auto shop can or should do it with no problems.

    P0421: Warm Up Catalyst Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1)

    Had the same fault recently. Cleared it two-three time but it came back on. The engine felt lazy, lack of power, slow acceleration. Possible fix, the diagnostic said, reprogram the PCM. I did not want to give in and spend the money for that so I kept looking for some other cheaper ways to fix...

    Reason #1 and #2 why it's better to change your own oil Vs a dealer

    I don’t see myself being ripped off. I wanted to change it right then so I went and bought it, rather than buying it online and then wait for delivery etc.

    Reason #1 and #2 why it's better to change your own oil Vs a dealer

    Stopped by the local Mazda dealer today to buy an engine air filter. Then installed it myself right there, at their front door. 29$ plus tax. Plus labour costs 0$ and 60 seconds. 😆

    CX-5 System died then ok after jump start but driving range shown is huge

    I agree and I will check it just out of curiosity. But mine definitely works or I would not get anything above 12-12.5 VDC.

    I have a multi USB port plugged in with live voltage reading and yes, AC is on most of the time because 29 N latitude, you know. It would be difficult without it. https://a.co/d/3Cj58YX I recommend one of these.

    Mine shows 13.5 "ish" on a hot day, 14 only when it's cold outside.

    2017~2024 CX-5 Sport Mode Driving issues?

    If you’ve never used manual mode before, be careful. Get used to it before you wanna use it when you really need it. You shift the wrong way and that could cause you more problems.

    2017~2024 CX-5 Sport Mode Driving issues?

    I drive in manual mode almost 99.99% of the time. From time to time I've used the sport mode, again, combined with manual mode. I did not see any change in fuel consumption, based on my driving habits, of course. And if there is a change in fuel consumption, it must be really small. One thing...

    Struggling with NAV (2024 CX-5)

    Mine is 2020, your is 2019 so we should have the same infotainment. It should work with no problems.

    Circles on my infotainment screen? 2024 CX-5

    Check the settings, background settings. Maybe that's where the circles are coming from.
