Buy both :-)

My guess is the spark plugs need to be replaced, that they are not OEM spec.

Barely touched a curb with the wheel itself and bent the drivers hub bearing. Bent the hub? What was the symptoms after it got bent?

I bought a couple 5 quart bottles in November when oil was on sale. Now with the war and the government banning Russian oil, do you think it is prudent to stock up on motor oil before the prices go up? It's a double whammy, transporting it in trucks will make it go up and the base oil price will...

Does the scratch look less noticeable whey you wet it? If so it may mostly disappear by using a polishing compound.

Maybe it's the mass airflow sensor. Isn't it terrible that we second guess the dealership's diagnostic?

They gave it a bigger mouth :-) Nice looking car.

If I was to buy coolant I would get the FL22 from Mazda or an online site that sells the Mazda coolant.

If you have to go in for the fuel pump recall, and it is a small amount you need, maybe ask the dealer if they could top it off for you at that time. I can't imagine them charging much to put in a few ounces of coolant, maybe they won't charge at all.

That parts guy was dense. He saw on your phone the correct part number and in so many words said No, the engineers are wrong? Did he end up giving you the right filters or did they not have them?

I would probably put in a claim and have them help with the payment. Myself, I have a very high deductible which lowered my insurance, but I would be paying out a lot in the event I had car damage. I had two accidents in my 41 years of driving. The first one they said was my fault, and the other...

If OP has to ask those questions about fixing it, I think he should have a shop do it. First ask how much it will cost to put in a new motor, and also look what CX-5s are selling for with 130K miles. Also find the price if you scrap it. But if it is 4K to fix and 9K for sales, then it is worth...

Interesting about the water. Personally I love the access panel and how it is attached. My previous car I had to remove the entire skid plate to change the oil. And putting it back on was a pita, on my back holding it up with one hand and getting the first screw started with the other. The Mazda...

I think just leave it. My mower sits for 5 months through the winter with a small 12 volt battery and it usually starts in spring. Granted it doesn't have an anti-theft device to power those 5 months.

I have one. I am a little reluctant to keep it in the car especially in the hot summer. But I can grab it when I go on a drive.

The plastic piece hooks to the big panel so that would mess up having it hinged. You can just leave it off altogether. I doubt that much water or dirt would splash up at that spot and get in the compartment unless you go off roading on dirty muddy trails.

I think he meant fob battery.

Maybe filling up at 3/4th empty can help the low pressure fuel pump. Hopefully dealers put their top mechanics on the swaps and not the new guys who do the oil changes. Once they change a few dozen fuel pumps they should have it down to a science.

Ranman57 has a point, usually two doors have much longer doors. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-GRZa44iTk

Just got the recall letter for the low pressure fuel pump. The notice does say that they do not have the parts yet, and another letter will be sent when parts become available. Did any of you guys receive the letter yet?
