Wondering what I’m doing wrong with my Maintenance Monitor, and specifically the Oil Change interval. I know how to reset it etc., but once I turn it on, it only stays active until I shut off the car. Next time I start the car, the Maintenance Monitor is Off. It does still countdown the...

8.77 L/100km (Canada, thus Metric) but converts to 27 mpg 6 Speed Manual transmission in a 2012 GT. That is over 3.5 years of ownership and 115,000 km in Ontario, Canada, so hot humid summers with A/C and cold cold winters. Mostly highway driving.

2012 M5 GT: I've got the same issue many people have had with the alarm going off randomly for no particular reason. I've seen some discussion that the OEM Alarm Module has an internal lithium battery that lasts 8-10 years, so it seems like I am due. However, I cannot determine exactly where the...

"Forward collision detection - When you are behind someone, and they go to turn, lets say right into a parking lot and slow down, even though I know I have control and not going to clip them and already hitting the brakes, the system flashes BRAKE on the hud and beeps...somewhat annoying" This...

I’m a big DIY’er and would have no problem fabricating something. However, by the time I track down and buy some threaded rod in the right size, plus some decent threaded eyes, etc. The C$32 + C$18 I’ve been quoted for (Canadian) OEM seems pretty good. I’ll paint them to match my blacked out...

I agree, I find the HUD a very nice feature. However, I wear polarized Raybans and have absolutely zero issues with brightness and visibility of the HUD. In fact, I have mine turned almost all the way down on the brightness scale, otherwise it's too distracting. Perhaps the OP hasn't realized...

2017 CX-5 GT (Canada): Ignoring the huge debate that opens when “tow-hooks” and/or “tie-downs” etc. are mentioned....For this question I will refer to the part simply as an “eyelet”. Does the REAR eyelet fit in the FRONT eyelet position, and if so, how far does the eye itself protrude? The...

Phill, do you still need the instructions? I have a paper copy but will scan and post it if you still need them. Let me know.

So today I pulled the wheel, removed the caliper, and took a look at the hub/bearing...oh yeah, it is TOAST! So it's an "easy" four bolts to swap the hub. They seemed to be Torx T-50 bolts and of course fully rusted. However, they are supposedly T-45 so I've soaked them in WD-40 but I only have...

Check with a local Mazda dealer and their price is only C$208 for the OEM hub assembly. So, given the cheap crap out there, plus potential hassle of not an EXACT fit thus requiring modification etc., plus our only car being disabled for longer etc., I might just spend the money and go with OEM.

Thanks for the responses. My 2008 had 135K miles on it when I sold it with original wheel bearings, so yeah, I was a little surprised by this one at ~80K miles.

Hello: Looking for a "how to" on replacing the rear wheel bearing, actually the entire hub assembly, on a 2012 M5. I'm reasonably certain I know how this will go but just wanted to do a read through to see if there was anything to watch out for etc. However, when I search the HOW TO forum for...
