    2016~2020 CX-9 Brakes the same as GT-R and Sig?

    Might want to put the Mazda into sport mode at the crest before you hit the crest of the mountain on the way down the mountain this will prevent the car for up shifting (for beter mpg’s) engine braking. you’ll have better control around any turns. Yeah I may burn more gas but the pain in the...

    CX-5 Radar detector hardwire question

    You might wanna take a look at the people who installed dash cams. They will most likely have the diagrams/pin outs for you to figure out which is which. Otherwise it’s time to break out the old voltmeter.

    Bose System Differences?

    Or it could just be the cable is disconnected from the sub. Might want to check that out. One of my biggest disappointments with the Bose stereo system is the week subwoofer. I’ve had many different factory upgraded systems with subs that sounded 10 times better than what Bose subwoofer sounds like.

    Twin scroll vs dynamic turbo?

    Twin scroll vs dynamic pressure manifold is meaningless to me until we get both Cx-5 & CX-50 to a dyno and roll race to see if the gains are there. Or if they did it because they realized the design of the dynamic pressure turbo was causing the the crakes in the 2.5t heads (due to the extra heat...

    2017~2025 Toyota Mechanic reviews CX-5

    I forgot the name of the Canadian show but they raced the na 4wd gen 1 and gen 2 same model cx-5 and each time gen 1 beat the gen 2 by about 3/4 of a car length. But for me, I test drove the gen 2 NA before I test drove the turbo and hands down the pull of the turbo (even on regular gas) was a...

    Engine Warm Up Turbo Version

    That’s more for older turbos that are oil cooled and not both oil and coolant cooled. But I do agre, If you are a beating hard on the car all the way to the parking spot you should definitely let it idle for a couple seconds.

    2.5T Pings/Knocks w/87 Octane. Try to hear your engine if you have the same

    Might want to try a field additive and go with a different gas station “top tier.” I personally run bg44k as my fuels additive every other fiLl. I when gas was creeping around $5 a gallon for regular I filled with regular but didn’t notice any pinging. Now the prices have come down...

    Can you drive in EBP Maintenance Mode?

    I would not recommend driving the car around with the car in the electronic parking brake service mode. I’m sure it does something with the ABS disabling it. I would take it back into Mazda considering it’s only been a few months since they replace the calipers so obviously whatever they did not...

    Engine Warm Up Turbo Version

    It’s done with all modern cars to help fireup/heat up the Catalytic converter. All modern cars do this. I typically give it 30 seconds to 1 minute until the idle drop down. Baby the throttle until temp start to reach operating temp (usually more important in the winter)

Also, I ran a tank with BG44k recently to ensure the injectors, fuel pumps etc were in top condition. Running in sport mode every where I went to get it to clean up the fuel system. I’m the 2nd owner...

    2012 CX-9 Touring went in limp mode after trying to sell at Auction

    I recommend taking the coil pack from one of the other six and swapping it and see if the problem follows the coil pack before buying a new coil pack.

    2016.5 CX-5 Windshield cracked, need opinions on repair/replacement

    If you have the Heads Up Display (projection onto the windshield) you will need a special kind of windshield. That’s what I was told. Yes they are able to recalibrate the sensors. I’ve used safelite in the past and always recommend them.
