    Water pump!!!!

    I had my water pump replaced a few weeks ago in the 9. I don't think theres any way they could have done it without pulling the engine. I went and checked it out when it was all torn apart. There were parts everywhere. Its pretty tight on that side of the engine bay. It would probably take twice...

    Water pump!!!!

    So a little update after getting it to the dealer.. My water pump is bad. It has a slow leak through the weep hole but it is not leaking into the oil yet and the engine is solid! That's great news! The other part of this is that I had a second leak as well. At first they didn't know where it was...

    CX-9 Water Pump Replacement

    If your coolant leaks into the oil and take the engine with it maybe you could ask for cost share cause that shouldn't happen.. but just a water pump replacement they would never do a cost share..

    CX-9 Water Pump Replacement

    I never flushed the coolant during my ownership however according to Carfax the previous owner did it at the Mazda dealership at 100K, so it shouldn't have a problem. I just dropped it off at the dealership this morning. Their rebuttal is, "Well most other cars require a water pump replacement...

    Who has got the highest mileage CX-9 out there?

    Ive got a 2007 CX9 GT AWD, fully loaded with all the options. Bought it in August of 2013 at 118,000. It was a one owner, meticulous dealer maintained vehicle. Looked and felt brand new at 118K. Headphones for the DVD system were still in the plastic and never used! It now has 149,500 Miles...

    Mazda Coolant $25/gallon! What's an excellent aftermarket substitute?

    So I noticed a heavy antifreeze leak coming from my engine block on my 07' CX9 the other day, but it looks like the standard neon green antifreeze that you see in all other typical cars.. Ive never filled up antifreeze in this car and it has ALWAYS been serviced by the dealer.. Would using the...

    2007 CX-9 Clank noise when shifting into reverse/drive when cold

    Yes its AWD. Ill look into the transfer case plug. My car makes the noise whether im on an incline or not, but mostly just when the car is cold. This is why the dealer cant ever hear it cause its always warm when I bring it in. The car has had meticulous maintenance including at least 2 tranny...

    CX-9 Water Pump Replacement

    This sucks! I noticed a heavy antifreeze leak the other day coming from the center of my engine block, NOT from the radiator, hoses or expansion tank. It must be a bad water pump right? There is no other reason why it would be leaking from that location?? Im very disappointed in this. My CX-9...

    Water pump!!!!

    Im really scared after reading this post. My 07' CX9 recently sprung a pretty significant coolant leak coming from the bottom of the engine. No radiator, hose or expansion tank leaks.. So far it does not appear that my oil is contaminated but it seems ridiculous to have to pull the engine/tranny...

    2007 CX-9 Clank noise when shifting into reverse/drive when cold

    So I have a 2007 CX-9 that I purchased just over 2 years ago at 118,000 miles as a beautiful, clean one owner vehicle that still looked and felt brand new with all service performed at the dealer. It now has 149,500 miles on it and we have maintained it very well with keeping it serviced at the...
