    2013~2016 CX-5 Belt Tensioner - Shouldn't this be a warranty item?

    I just hate seeing something leak. Its a mental thing for me. Reading the TSB again, the verbiage really does sound like Mazda had a host of customers concerns/complaints vs actual verified damage. In fact, there's no verbiage like "damage", "urgent", "danger", "immediate", ect. "To eliminate...

    2013~2016 CX-5 Belt Tensioner - Shouldn't this be a warranty item?

    2016 with 2.5l skyactiv gas engine. Virtually identical parts to a CX-5. BUT I have the OEM tensioner. Did you keep your OEM one by the way? How is it's roller...still quiet and not wobbly? A squeaking noise not caused by belts could mean not enough tension so ensure the belts feel pretty tight...

    Love the CX-5, hate the seats...Any way to make them better?

    What part of your body hurts during long trips? On the CX-5 I wish the it was 1-inch longer for a bit more support. I was thinking of something like this for road trips. Seat Extender There's also this Seat Pad that seems popular with Honda owners The Mazda6 seats are the most comfortable for...

    2013~2016 CX-5 Belt Tensioner - Shouldn't this be a warranty item?

    You think its the placebo affect since you recently installed the parts and are listening "extremely" close to any variances? I have the Gates waterpump stretch belt, Gates serpentine, and Gates water pump in my Mazda6. I cannot tell the difference. Did you remember to bleed the...

    HELP: Rough Cold start?!

    Oh you're in Canada. Yeah I'd always opt for batteries with higher CCA's at a place with good warranty support and relatively close to home. Get the Kirkland Signature Group Size: 35 Item #207250...

    HELP: Rough Cold start?!

    I plan on getting a costco card just to buy their car batteries with excellent warranty......so no experience with their Interstate batteries yet. https://costco.interstatebatteries.com/ I did get a Duralast Gold battery (expensive at $180 or so) only due to an emergency and they were close by...

    HELP: Rough Cold start?!

    2 options: Inspect water level by opening each cap cover. Add distilled water just enough to cover the plates inside....do not overfill up to plastic caps. Consider upgrading to higher CCA battery.

    2013~2016 CX-5 Belt Tensioner - Shouldn't this be a warranty item?

    Tensioner: I crouched in wheel well to simply relieve its tension and replace serpentine belt. Water pump belt: I used a creeper and kept rolling away lol. I must've used a towel to keep creeper in place. Laying on creeper gave me leverage to be able to push the belt into pulley. Did you use a...

    2013~2016 CX-5 Belt Tensioner - Shouldn't this be a warranty item?

    Minnesotaart is right in a way but what I did was use a creeper so that I was on my back while putting water pump belt on. What sucked was I kept rolling away. I forgot what I did to keep the creeper in place. Nonetheless a lift is easier but that was my workaround.

    What have you done to your Garage today?

    I banished CX-5 and Mazda6 from the garage for making a mess. I told them when I get back they better clean up or else they aren't getting oil changes. To my surprise I came home to this...........
