hawx 44 k miles and sludge in the egr ? Take the egr apart every now and then to clean it...? Yeah there's some kind of trouble.

Sounds like yours passed the rain test ! That's a good thing. ~lol~ I'm sure it's not a frequent problem, just one that can happen and has caused a few people to reconsider going CAI. Even if one does, the car can easily be restored to OEM if needed. My guess is those that do have issues in...

Best of luck to you and your following. The serious (and expensive) issues you name specifically tend to be the one's I keep seeing and reading about with many experiences happening under 50 or 60 k miles. I see a fair amount of posts here defending Mazda when others have unresolved issues...

I'm in the same boat. If you got an answer here or another source or have since shopped it to get a fair cost, please update. ~brian

IMO, adding the CAI isn't a big gain but people do it for different reasons; Sound, looks on the motor, peak hp gains of 6 - 8 or more? maybe on some cars. Heck, look at dyno results/variations on the same car but different dynos. If a vehicle has a limited, restricted or just plain poor intake...

First, I apologize in advance if there is a better/smarter way or place to post this issue. I've looked up a few problems others have had on the CX-7 and find posts months or years old that didn't get any response. Just to be clear, it's probably me being a noob (not being critical of the...

- Here in Colorado we have 85, 87 and 91 I think. I found one place in town that offers 93 if that info is still current. I haven't had our CX-7 long enought to run much over one tank yet. I think I'll stick with being safe and run the better juice. In my other car, I tested the mid and high...

Nice to hear may go to bat for you. I know nothing of turbos and just got an 08 CX-7 with 70,000 miles on it. I think it sounds deisel-ish and the oil with 800 miles looks almost black. Should I have anything checked out? I bought the lifetime LOF at the dealer and the high tech warranty taking...

Wow, lots of good info here. Thanks to all keeping up with it and the updates. I'm new to the CX-7 so I'm swimming upstream at present. I've noted the oil looks very dark if indeed the sticker is correct (assuming the dealer did a fresh LOF) as the windshield decal notes. If I recall, I'm at...

Greetings; New member here, just got our new-to-us 08 CX-7 about 5 weeks ago with just under 70,000 on it. As to the polling, I'm 50 and my wife is 52, got our first grandkid that is now 2 years old. Other ride is a 04 Infiniti G-35 6MT Coupe. VQ35DE above got my attention, (same motor as my...
