    Shortened Catalytic Converter lifespan with valve seal issue?

    Tell that to VW/Audi dealers. They have said 1 qt/1000 miles is normal consumption on the 2.0T for years.

    Shortened Catalytic Converter lifespan with valve seal issue?

    It is interesting how variable these turbo motors are. I have a 21 GTR with 33k miles. It has not burned a drop of oil in the 4 yrs I have owned it. Have not had the seals done because of this. Others have had crazy consumption. I wonder if I got lucky and the correct seals were used on my...

    Blackout Window Tint Safe?

    That is a thing here in Georgia as well. There are tons of lifted pickups with lights under the car and inside the wheels.

    Blackout Window Tint Safe?

    Lights and sirens are a little different IMHO. I understand we can have lights on our cars, but not blue ones. Tinting isn't really different and I don't believe there are different regs for commercial and private vehicles as far as it is concerned. They just do it because who has the power...

    Blackout Window Tint Safe?

    Hilarious. He has "limo tint" and thinks you can see through it? What irks me is that police cars often have complete blackout tinting here in Georgia (can't see inside the car at all), but there is a limit of 32% for the rest of us commoners. Never understood how its ok for cops to break the...

    Front sensor malfunction

    I went to the dealer today and they told me if the error is not persistent and resolves, there is likely no issue so I just left it alone for now. The car drives perfectly normal so I don't think there is a real issue.

    Front sensor malfunction

    It could certainly be this. I am never with her when it happens so I don't know the time but I know she was out between 5 and 6am this morning so there would have been a sharp angle if the sun was coming out.

    Front sensor malfunction

    I expect it is something like that. She does have a regular drive and today it happened today around 6am so it wasn't super sunny. I fully expect the dealer to say there is nothing wrong but as it has happened 3 times my wife is getting uncomfortable. I just drove the car about 10 miles and...

    Radar Sensor and Smart Brake System Malfunction

    We are having a sensor malfunction issue intermittently but it doesn't affect driveability. I don't read about these issues a lot on the forums so wonder how widespread it is. I had a 19 CX-5 for 20k miles and it never had the issue. I would think it unlikely you would encounter it again in a...

    Front sensor malfunction

    On our 2021 CX-5 we are getting intermittent sensor malfunctions. It never seems to happen to me, but my wife has seen it 3 times. Windshield is always clean (car is garaged at all times). It has a new battery as of a month ago. I have an appt for the dealer to check it out tomorrow but I...

    2025 CX-5 vs New 2026 model!?

    I guess you didn't see his post above about what the dealer did?

    Dawn and Dusk driving with no tail lights

    I can't understand how this would not be allowed in the US. Seems superior to simple hi/low beams as we have now. We can be archaic at times....

    What are matrix led enabled lights? Never heard of it.

    Adaptive LED's in the US are the one's that sweep from side to side as you turn.

    Dawn and Dusk driving with no tail lights

    I am referring to a line of cars slowly passing the cars on the right and someone else thinks they are more important than the other folks trying to pass so they want to cut in line to speed it up for themselves. This only makes other folks in line have to slow down for them to get back into...

    Dawn and Dusk driving with no tail lights

    Completely agree with the if the left laner has space to get over comment, but I don't put folks who want people to move to the right in the "me, me, me" category as there is actually a statute (and signage as well) telling slower drivers to move to the right. Obviously, if we are talking about...

    Dawn and Dusk driving with no tail lights

    Ironic to me the fine is higher for passing on the right when the cause of passing on the right is fined less...

    Dawn and Dusk driving with no tail lights

    Oh yes, it certainly is. If cops would enforce "slower traffic keep right" more often I believe road rage could be reduced significantly. People just don't seem to get the memo (especially in today's me, me, me world) that if you are driving slower than the car behind you and have room to...

    Dawn and Dusk driving with no tail lights

    Much worse to me is that none of the folks in the left lane were yielding to you, who was driving faster in the right lane.

    2023 CX-5 Can't update maps

    Lame... That is not your fault especially if you were never told this was possible. Mazda should be willing to replace SD cards if this issue occurs, or fix the problem so that the old program can't corrupt the cards.
