2018 CX-9: Rear diff replacement at about 110k kms (~68k mi) Front passenger side LCA and both front struts replaced at around 120k kms (~74.5k mi) - this was due to hitting potholes with 285/35/22 tires while being lowered on CorkSport springs. Upcoming thermostat and ECT replacement at about...

Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for. I had a feeling it might have been there - it was the only place I couldn't see that would still be near the thermostat. The special socket looks like its just a 12 point socket, but maybe the teeth are a bit different. I'll check later to see if I...

Thanks @youri. That's the location of the thermostat, which it seems I'll need to replace anyway. I'm thinking I'll need to remove the battery, intake piping, and battery tray to see the sensor, which sucks. I'll give it a shot tomorrow. Maybe I'll just replace the thermostat.. today I drove the...

Hey guys, hoping to get some help from the community on this one. I can't seem to find the location of the coolant temperature sensor on the engine. Everything I could find on the Internet shows the location of the sensor on the previous gen, or the location of the sensor on a 2.5 non-turbo...

Tested yesterday with a multimeter. Reads 0.09v. I think I did it right lol. According to what I've read, if it's below 0.40v then the coolant is still good.

You know I didn't even think to test it, but I'll do it later today. I decided to leave the car at home until I can sort this out to avoid making the problem worse. Nope, I've never done a coolant flush. But I did top it up a few years ago when it looked low. For now I'll try swapping out the...

It's at 138k kms (~85750 mi)

It is unfortunate, but car dealerships do have the right to refuse service with or engage with customers if that's what they decide. Sorry you're having such a terrible time with that dealer, they sound awful. You should indeed be getting better support from your dealer. I found this reddit...

Video of the issue:

It was quiet for a while, but I've got a new issue. Hopefully I'm on the right track to get it resolved though. Over the weekend, the car's engine temp readout was showing higher than usual. Normally its right at 90 degrees and stays there when the engine is at normal operating temp, but it...

So, it turns out that my current dashcam (Viofo A129 Duo) is on it's last legs. The camera does not want to stay on when plugged into it's base. It'll start up, but as soon as it's done the boot sequence it'll power down slowly. Then it'll try to restart itself and the same thing will keep...

Everyone drives differently, but I wasn't explaining how I drive. I was explaining the general driving behaviour of a city driver. I suppose I could be more specific there - what I meant was that in densely packed urban settings, traffic lights and speed limits make it more difficult to reach...

Regarding the 2000 vs 2500 RPM change in torque feel, you're saying that with 87 octane, it feels like the turbo kicks in at 2000 RPM, but when you use 91+, the turbo kicks in at 2500 RPM instead? That, to me, makes a lot of sense. If you're a city driver, it makes sense to run 87 and keep the...

The above pics were taken in 2018. Top is the original, bottom is photoshopped to see what it would have looked like lowered. Below is a current pic, 7 years later with a different set of wheels and actually lowered. It makes me smile.

By default, all owners should follow the maintenance schedule and recommended services in the Owner's Manual. That should be everyone's starting point. Following the schedule issued by the Manufacturer ensures that your factory warranty isn't voided. Preventative maintenance that goes above and...
