1) Engine was displaying inconsistent temperatures, narrowed it down to a faulty thermostat or a faulty engine coolant temperature sensor. I replaced both because 2) the sensor was tedious to get to, but in the same area as the thermostat. Not hard by any means. 3) The new thermostat and ECT...

That is correct, there is no removable center console between the two seats in this configuration (commonly called "Captain's Chairs" in the US/CAN market). The Signature or top trim of the CX-9 does have a center console between the two captain's chairs, but I don't think it's removable.

I used the OEM Mazda FL-22 in the newer 55/45 formulation when I replaced the thermostat in my 2018 CX-9. Given the existence of a TSB that specifically calls out the use of Mazda's FL-22 vs. a prediluted alternative or a mixed from concentrate solution, I decided that I wouldn't take that...

Just a note - new SG1 fluid isn't clear out of the bottle. It's like honey.. very close to this colour: When I drained the fluid out of my CX-9 at 70k kms, it looked like brand new engine oil. Darker than the brand new fluid, but not bad by any means.

I'm not sure. I suppose you could use an adhesive to stick the trim to the panel, but you'd have to apply consistent pressure until the adhesive cured, and then if it ever needed to come off, it would be coming off in pieces. Maybe the body-mounted clips that hold on to the trim's fasteners can...

I used this video as a reference when hardwiring my dashcam. It was the first time I had ever done it, but the video was quite helpful.

I'm glad you recognize the problematic behaviour now. Whether it was done in good faith is debatable, because people took offense and reported these posts, among others. It is never acceptable to resort to negative name-calling or condescending comments towards other members just to try to get...

See below. Note that the general warning was for name-calling and condescending behaviour - while it may seem borderline or harmless to you, it was offensive to others. Additionally, sometimes moderators notice trends in the discussion that can devolve into negative behaviour, and moderator...

Oh no apology needed at all, I wasn't disagreeing or anything. Just explaining why I went a different way with it. If I was one of the initial responders I would have suggested the same thing lol

Yeah, I mean that's what I would personally do. In fact, I usually put my backpack on the floor, behind the driver's seat. But OP asked for a solution to the chime, and stated multiple times that they prefer to have the backpack on the seat. So rather than suggest a solution that they've already...

This technology helps to alert you to when a passenger isn't wearing their seatbelt. It's for the safety of your passengers, and you are responsible for their safety as the operator/driver. I think in almost all US states (excluding New Hampshire) and all of Canada at least, seatbelts are...

First thing I would do if I had this suspicion is get a security camera or two installed, or a dashcam. Next, for further troubleshooting and to narrow down potential issues, if possible, have someone else drive the car while you record from the passenger seat or from outside, to show and...

IMO car wash brush washes are never good for any reason, even if your car just has a bit of salt on it. Regardless of how good the brushes are at whipping dirt and grit embedded fibers into your paint, they always tend to miss a spot or two. On most cars it tends to be in the license plate...

If you can run a fingernail over the scratch, and it catches, it's likely too deep to be polished out. However, if you have the tools and products available, or if you want to try polishing it out by hand, you could give that a try. Just be sure to read up on the process and watch a few YouTube...

Moved as requested (y)

I'm curious about this. It doesn't sound like anything that I, as a moderator, would delete or ban someone over. Usually we only resort to post deletions and warnings/bans if the discussion devolves into condescending language or personal insults, and spam of any kind. Even for stuff that's...

No worries - here's a link to the thread in the Lounge. @GFrosty @Lazy2.5
