He mentioned that he was hearing a hissing sound on one of the valves when he was looking at it to determine the issue.

Update: I took my 2016 CX-5 to my mechanic. He determined that was a leak in one of the low pressure or high pressure valves. Replaced them and also refilled the freon and added a dye just in case. The AC is now very cold and works well.

So, I don't have the set of guages that would measure both. When I had connected the AC Pro can and guage this morning to measure the pressure from the low side port, the needle would be on the lowest position and never move above. Is this ok just to get a reading of the pressure?

I saw the label earlier at it mentions HFC134A which is the same as R134A from what it says online.

I have an old can of AC Pro R134a with guage that still has some left. Had previously used it a few years ago with my 2010 Corolla. Can I use this to try to recharge the AC system on my Mazda cx-5?

So, I finally replaced my AC blower on the 2016 CX-5 with one from Amazon.. The blower works but, still experiencing warmer air through the left and right driver side vents. The other two vents blow cold air. So, maybe it the freon? Need to take it to the shop to check it out..

So, my blower is also having problems as it sometimes will not blow and other time it does. I bought a blower on Amazon, and plan to replace it soon. Just need to get some time to replace it.

The charcoal one definetly restrict airflow. I had tried a charcoal filter a few years back also and noticed the performance of the AC was restricted a bit. But back then I never noticed an uneven airflow from the vents. The flow was all equal. Maybe I can get a normal cabin filter and see...

My 2016 CX-5 sport with 103k has been having unven AC cooling from thr vents. The driver side vent next to door doesn't seem to get that cold. The vent on the right of the steering wheel is cold but not very cold. The next vent is very cold.. Just started noticing this recently after the...

I just got the M6 lock nut from home depot and was able to use a wrench and tighten it up. Should I have used a washer with the nut?

My 2016 CX-5 Sport has 102k miles on it. I get the oil changes done at the dealership and they never seem to recommend the differential fluid to be changed. When does the differential fluid need to be changed on these cars?

Can't seem to find the part # on a search. Would you be able to post the link to that part? I found that home depot has the following M6 x 1.0 nuts with nylon but they don't have the flange. Wondering if I could use these...

Would you happen to know the OEM Part # for the nut?

My 2016 CX-5 sport has been making a rattling sound in the rear. As it turns out when you lift the hatch, the right nut is missing. I guess this nut holds the spoiler. On the left side it was loose and I tightened it. What is the part # or type of nut that I can use?

Is the new blower unit quiet like the original OEM?
