My wife once spilled coffee into her lap and it got into the seatbelt buckle. She cleaned up the outside but left the inside alone, and didn't tell me about it for a few days. It got sticky and sometimes took a few tries to get it to latch. To clean it, I first sprayed a bit of electrical...

It's both actually, lol. Finding 5x114.3 spacers (not adapters) with 67.1mm hubs at an affordable price is harder than I thought it would be, even second-hand. I finally found a set of used Titan wheel spacers for a good price, so I decided to jump on them. They are 1.25" thick (31.75mm). Paired...

Yep, technical service bulletin

Installed wheel spacers and universal mudflaps. The wheels are just a few mms more aggressive than I'd want ideally, but I'm still happy with the look. We had a bit of rain last night, and after driving to work and through the tractor yard, it appears that the mudflaps are doing their job well...

Back in 2021, I bought a set of "universal" RallyArmor mudflaps for my other CX-9, but never ended up installing them, and they just collected dust in storage. My current 2022 didn't come with mudflaps, so I decided to install them this weekend, along with a set of wheel spacers. The car looks a...

You can ask them to check for the issue during your oil change. They should check their service database for this concern, and if there is an existing TSB for it, they will follow the diagnostic steps to continue troubleshooting. In my case, I do get this warning occasionally, but it usually...

Fuel injectors might be something to consider as well, though it's unlikely that they would need to be replaced or serviced if you've always used "top tier" fuel. Additionally if the fuel injectors were operating out of spec, they would probably throw codes.

It would do the trick, but it's really no different than pressing the pedal further as you accelerate. Having owned a Sprint Booster for nearly 7 years, I do prefer to have it installed vs. "stock", but if you can get used to pressing the pedal further, it's the same thing. A tune might be a...

Just a note, for your CX-5, the recommended rear diff oil should be Mazda Hypoid Gear Oil SG1 - SAE 75W-85, API GL-4. Part number 0000-77-SG1-QT. I believe they changed the spec back in 2016. You can confirm in your owner's manual.

Assuming your air filter isn't clogged/leaking and there are no other components that might affect performance (fouled/old spark plugs, bad gas, etc), I would try a transmission relearn. Here's a copy/paste of the steps from this post. Please note, this works for 2nd gen CX-5s and 2nd gen CX-9s...

VC70 daytime footage from the front camera shown below. As far as I can tell, it looks identical to the Redtiger F17 Elite's footage.

113k kms on my rear diff. Mazda does not specify a fluid change interval. Only a visual inspection of the rear diff housing, and a recommendation to replace the fluid if the rear diff has been submerged in water. I had planned to change the rear diff fluid anyway, but it failed before I could...

I'm not sure if it's normal for it to fail without codes like mine did. All I know is that it happened to me and I hated driving the car like that. I had very little confidence in it.
