We have a CX9 2012 with 310,000kms (195,000 miles) on the clock.
Always been reliable and no major issues. However, recently the check engine light came on and ran rough. Engine scan indicated ignition coil problem so we replaced all 6 ignition coils and spark plugs. This did not fix the problem and further Mazda scan indicated one of the injectors needs replacing. They recommended all 6 injectors be replaced. Along with this they recommended 2 x rear rocker covers need replacing due to an oil leak.
Mazda also indicated possible noise in transmission/transfer case which is a known fault on these vehicles.
My question is could anyone provide opinions or advice on whether they think it is worthwhile proceeding with this work?
I look at it that maybe the vehicle has just come to the end of its life as haven't seen many around with milage much higher than ours. I can get a bit of money from wreckers for vehicle vs outlaying more money to get it back on the road. The transmission/transfer potential noise concerns me. We are getting a new car so this would become a second car should we go ahead with the injector/rocker cover work and I'd be happy to get another couple of years out of it.
