Here’s another picture (rotated 90 deg to the right) of the lower left exhaust stud just above location 2 on the TSB. You can see the dried coolant on the hose on the left which is just below TSB location 2.

Also found the CX-9 coolant leak engine tear down video from Car Wizard on YouTube “Why does it cost $4k to replace $50 gasket” super helpful understanding where I needed to look. Picture below is the metal exhaust gasket (tray) on the head. The bottom of this picture faces down when attached...

It’s very tight to get to the TSB location 1 on the exhaust manifold bolt and past that to get to TSB location 2 where the head cracks. I got a $30 endoscope for iPhone on Amazon with a built-in LED flashlight and sent it in from the passenger side just between the turbo and exhaust manifold -...

Vehicle had 27k miles when I noticed coolant level had dropped after smelling slight burnt coolant in the cabin. Who knows how long it would have taken to really manifest into a full blown leak with coolant all over the place, could have been another 10k or 20k miles. Overall have been very...

The invoice doesn’t mention any transmission fluid or transfer case gear oil, but it does include the drain plug crush washers and oil seals for those, so if they replaced those the fluid would have come out — but here is no mention of the fluid for those on in invoice with zero balance. So my...

They had me sign warranty paperwork they sent to Mazda when the job was complete, but my copy was a reduced form of that. Maybe I can get what they sent to Mazda, just wasn’t thinking to snap a picture of it when picking up the car after a long week.

Our 2019 CX-5 2.5T was repaired under warranty, but we had 27k miles and less than 1 year left on powertrain warranty, so it was cutting it close. The coolant leak was small, but I smelled coolant burning from the cabin and bought a $30 boroscope iPad camera and was able to get to the locations...

Eibach ProKit with 225/60R18 Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3 tires mounted on Enkei Raijin 18x8 45mm offset wheels (gunmetal). Thinking next time might go to 235 or 245 if they’ll fit for a wider look, but these 225 fit pretty good —factory Signature wheels (dark silver) available PM if interested.

Thanks, they seem accurate too. Happy with it so far and the turn-on beep is muffled in the center console.

My suspension shop said they'd need to drop the sub frame to install the rear camber arms which sounded pretty involved so punted on that since camber was in spec. They are one of the best shops in the area, so maybe they have some tricks to get the camber dialed in without the rear camber arms...
