I have CorkSport lowering springs on OEM dampers on my CX-9. They would have been perfectly fine if I didn't have to deal with all the potholes and road imperfections. After 2-3 years of hitting potholes a few times a year, I had to replace both front shocks, but the rears are still good.

Thanks Shawnee, this will definitely help! I'm hoping to tackle this tomorrrow/Thursday in my driveway lol. For anyone in the know, the dealer told me that I should only need 2 jugs of coolant (7.56L total) for this job. The coolant capacity listed in the owner's manual is 9.8 or 9.9L. I'm...

Is that the one at the top of the engine (passenger side, near the firewall, under the engine cover)? I have a small leak there as well, very minor.

Thanks youri, much appreciated! This should be really helpful.

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...
