    2013~2016 Belt Tensioner - Shouldn't this be a warranty item?

    The one I bought is made by Gates. It looks like the one in line #68 of this post.

    Talk me out of buying 16/17 CPO Lexus RX350 vs a new CX5 GT Reserve

    My sister drives a white '17 RX. She's 74. :cool: P.S. - Bullet proof - zero issues with it.

    2013~2016 Belt Tensioner - Shouldn't this be a warranty item?

    Mine is oil covered but that's about it. No squeaks, vibrations or other bad things. I'm at 82k miles. I did order the part from Rock Auto and the 2 belts just in case. I suppose I'll do it one of these days when I get some time and before it gets too cold here. The video of the guy doing it on...

    2013~2016 Belt Tensioner - Shouldn't this be a warranty item?

    Since it doesn't sound like anyone's tensioner has actually failed completely, just leaked, what is everyone's opinion as to what would take place upon a complete failure? Just curious.

    Won't Accelerate

    Maybe you could meet up with someone on here and do the one hour swap, perhaps for a six-pack as payment! I think it's already been noted that someone on here goes to the same dealership as you do. Just a thought.

    2017~2025 Considering a change from Subaru

    The driving experience of the CX-5 is second to none in our category and price range. That said, based on your rather (no offense intended) boring daily drive, I'm not quite certain that you'd get to really experience that driving satisfaction. So in my opinion, you'd be better of deciding based...

    2014 CX-5 maintenance light issue

    What size are the tires on your CX-5? GT came with 225/55/R19. Do you have leather seats? Are they 8-way adjustable? 8-way adjustable seats in leather were only on the GT in 2014. yrwei52 might be correct that you don't have a GT.

    Possible to swap 2016/2016.5 GT leather seats into 2016.5 Touring?

    I have a 2014, so it may be different for the 2016's, but the GT leather seats in 2014 were 8-way adjustable and only 6-way in the Touring. I wonder if the wiring connectors would be the same?

    2014 CX-5 maintenance light issue

    No, she has a 2014 model she bought in 2019. It has the Type B instrument cluster which does not have any option for setting a maintenance reminder.

    2014 CX-5 maintenance light issue

    I have the same vehicle - 2014 GT. I however have the Type A instrument cluster. I just looked in my owners manual which is very good at saying when something applies to the Type A cluster or the Type B cluster. There are a number of pages devoted to the maintenance reminder function/settings...

    2017~2025 Hood Lift Struts Installed

    I have a brand new pair that I can't use. Supposed to fit my 2014 but they really are for newer CX-5s. They didn't come with instructions and they might be "frozen" as well (at least I could not compress them by hand). If someone wants them you can have them for whatever it costs to send them to...

    CX-5 Oil Filter Question

    A long, long time ago, in 1978, I bought a brand new, first year, Dodge Omni. The engine was made by VW. It was a high pressure oil system and the OEM filter had a special bypass valve built in. When I did my own oil change, I used a VW oil filter which, unbeknownst to me, lacked such valve. I...

    2018 Grand Touring AWD Tire Recommendations?

    I thought I'd chime in here because I have the Yokohama yk740 gtx tires on my AWD 2014 GT. I purchased them 4 years ago (10/2016) as my summer tires. I swap to 17" Blizzaks every fall for our Minnesota winters. I should also note that I do not rotate my tires. Every time I have done so in the...
