    Fuel Injector Cleaning

    You can put a can of crc valve cleaner into the pcv/vacuum and intake before oil changes and you can minimize if not eliminate cooked oil on valves (in my skyactiv experience). I never have deposits like I see people showing online (they never did head cleaning maintenance). At most I have a...

    Fuel Injector Cleaning

    Quality fuel treatment product.. unless an injector is actually clogged, anything else is extra. I recommend G2P (guaranteed to pass) as it cleans into the cat as well (and 02 sensor)

    Poor performance with AC on

    Environmental factors.. low octane fuel + higher density altitude, + increase load from A/C means less power available and more timing pulled to maintain appropriate CHT/knock counts etc. unplug your battery to relearn your long/short term fuel trims since the season is different

    Tune for the 2019 CX-5 Turbo

    Not aware of anyone actually tuning the 2. 5ts right now (not bulls*** "chips"). Keep an eye out though because the mazda 3 is getting the 2.5t and it might own up more options. Out of nowhere I saw a post by Matt Wilson (owner of OVT and tuner of my cx5) talk about limitations on the 2.5t ECU...

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    it's those bad corksport springs man, you should get id of them asap. Across the board (mz3/6/cx5) those springs always have bad feedback. If you want "cheap" low get CXracing coilovers; at least you will have a matching shock with those. If you just want springs, H&R don't get as low but...

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    I replaced it with a cork sport poly mount a few months ago, but because I want my torque at the wheels, not lost to twisting.. nothing seemed to be wrong with it

    2015 CX-5, 105k miles. Is my transmission done?

    Lkqonline.com or ebay (lkq sells on there too). Local shop charging 500-1k for installation. Or trade the car and take a hit worth more than the repair value.

    Battery went completely Dead. Jump-started, now engine is shaky and weak?

    Yikes, hope your neighbor didn't mess something up.. could have tried another metal (the strut bolt is a good choice). But just because the battery read 12v doesn't preclude it needing replacement.. but if you aren't having charging issues (no charging system light) etc idk. I will say this, if...

    Report: Diesel CX-5 Discontinued

    40k+ USD cx5... nty most people aren't spending that kinda money in this segment, especially with the performance #s. In fact on the fb community pages (cx5 and mz3) most new members are buying used. Also, that engine is gimped AF(like the 2.5t is gimped in the cx5/cx9) in the us market.

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Many places (like brake check) offer a "lifetime" alignment that usually cost less than two alignments. Then you just go in when you think you need it or if you got new tires or something

    2015 CX-5, 105k miles. Is my transmission done?

    What's your engine maintenance habits look like? Ever cleaned maf/throttle body? head cleaning? regular oil changes/ fuel system agents etc? Because power problems can cause jerking as well. some of these associated sensors are referenced by the tcm as well so an issue with one of them could...

    2015 CX-5, 105k miles. Is my transmission done?

    could be a motor mount, or something internal to the engine too. so does the car work fine in D and only act up in manual mode? or?

    2019 CX-5 2.5T Misfire

    BTW, that is build up indicative of no head cleaning. That will continue to build until your at the dealer for a rip service costing a couple of hundred of $$$ (unless you remove the IC yourself and do it (or better yet a can of spray before oil changes and never need a mechanical clean).. at...

    I started doing calisthenics this year, bought a set of gymnast rings which I hang from the 2nd floor banister outside my apartment. I also got this fancy weight vest I can put plates on so I can increase my weight and still be upside down etc. My flexibility is way better now and I'm getting...
