- 2012 Mazda CX-5 GT 2.2L Diesel AWD
My Cx5 purchased Dec, 2015 with 51,000 kms. When purchase I confirmed with the Mazda dealer that every service was performed almost on time and every update was applied. Changed the oil immeadiately, and then changed oil at 55,000 k's and then at every 5,000. Oil filter at every 10,000. Used correct spec DL1 & C1 Penrite.
At the end of October, with about 98,800 k's up, check engine light & low oil pressure light came on. Car went into limp mode. Check OBD reader which came up with low/high oil pressure faults. Cleared faults. Codes came back almost straight away after starting. Engine was not rattly and had oil pressure. Limp moded 200 meters to my house. Decided to change oil & filter even though the oil was only 3800 k's old.
Last week 1700 k's in on new oil & filer, check engine light & master warning light came on. Cleared faults again, car started and the codes did not return.
Immeadiately booked it in with Mazda, they have confirmed the fault came back on eventually, and Mazda Aust want dealer to remove rocker cover for camshaft wear. Mazda dealer confirmed that loan vehicle is being looked at subject to findings. Mazda Aust are going down a different path for fault finding.
My research suggests that the engine is toast and will need to be replaced.
