@N7turbo Also interested in the coilovers you spec and your full suspension build. My 2019 2.5T is currently running eibach pro kit springs (mild drop) with factory dampers, raijin 18" wheels with crossclimate 2 tires. Planning a suspension upgrade / 40k refresh to tighten things up without...

Thanks for the writeup, plan to do the same later this summer along with a DV+. Both are sitting on the bench. With such a tight fit wonder if it’s better to trim a bit, as the engine can move around quite a bit from one video I saw floating around. This CX-30 person cut 10mm off the TIP...

Found this discussion that may be of use: Reddit - Dive into anything These seem to be stout engines apart from this issue. Plan to run the car for several years now that this is fixed.

It depends on which way the crack on the head goes. If crack runs to the interior the coolant could mix with oil and show up in an oil analysis, and in extreme cases turn your engine oil into a milkshake. I was doing blackstone labs every 3000 miles with the pump kit they offer but they always...

Tien spring silencers (two on each corner where contact) - lower spring coils on the rears where they’re more stacked had a good result - I have Eibach pro kit drop. Hitting all suspension joints (lower control arm etc) with silicon spray lube (not petroleum based) to combat stick/slip...

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.
