Spent a while at the Mazda dealership this morning, plugged the car into the computer and apparently the Boost Sensor (whatever that is) needs replaced. They said it would take a few days to get, but that they have a showroom model they will take it from to get me motoring again..... They lent me a car for the day and I am to pick mine up again tomorrow morning.
How many Brits? Fancy a cuppa?

I believe the boost sensor is for the turbo, the first generation xtrail had to have one replaced under a recall. They were causing over boost.
Funnily enough the T30 was also prone to seized rear callipers. I always park up in the garage with the handbrake off when the car is wet, to prevent the pads sticking on the disc.

Just to add that since swapping the CX5 for a BMW i3Rex in 650 miles I have used just 12 litres of petrol ! so that's a real world 246 mpg thus far
The electric pocket rocket is amazing away from the lights even a BMW M3 cannot keep up.I don't think it would be much of a tow car though !
Happy motoring PP
If it's anything like the original pre-facelift model it may not be as easy as that. When I bought mine the dealer had a non SatNav version in stock in a colour I wanted but apparently the wiring or whatever wasn't present and I had to find another specifically with the SatNav. I guess otherwise there would be a pirate market in SD cards with the maps and software on....

Yes, but I bet the M3 can keep going for longer....much longer. ��
Must admit I haven't seen one on the road yet but it does seem to be one of the few cars of its type that is reasonably practical and usable.

It is indeed a practical long distance vehicle capable of some amazing mpg/acceleration depending on the mood of the driver. M3 is a quick car of course, but when driven erm "enthusiastically" probably has quite a low range if it has the same amount of fuel in it! @9 litre tank on the i3 ��

1.What is anybody paying for a 2 year/24,000 mile service?
2. Has anybody else received the e-mail from Mazda about a recall for an unusual brake pedal feeling which, if a fault is discovered, would entail a new vacuum pump being fitted and an oil change and modified filter?

I thought the 2nd service was a major one involving brake fluid change for one which on its own is around 50.
I've seen a figure od around 220 I believe, and I paid around 180 for my first service, so expect the second to top 200.
As yet not had my recall letter, but I have had a couple of occasions where the brake pedal didn't feel quite right....

231.14 all in.
pollen filter and brake fluid change are the main extra items over the 1 year service.
Touch-up Paint
I bought one a few months ago from a Mazda dealer. It was in 2 parts- a colour coat and a seal coat, each in a small container with a brush. I was pleasantly surprised when it cost, on memory, about 4 for both.
Well it actually arrived early and I collected it from johnsons Mazda Oxford on 21st March.
Appearance - even tho it's the same car and colour as my last one it was noticed within minutes at work - the alloys give it away first. It has a really nice feel to drive. Electronic handbrake was easy to get used to. Rear camera visual is hugely improved in clarity - didn't expect that!. Sat nav is def. improved with the new system and larger screen although it has rebooted twice for no apparent reason during driving and I notice that TA gets cut off prematurely when the sat nav direction cuts in. I was flashed by a traffic camera on m25 on way to gatwick - this while on cruise at 70 and pretty sure I wasn't in a variable speed zone and I'm a bit unnerved by this one. Safety pack .. Definitely improved. Can't tell about the brake support front or rear as I don't really want to test that one ! Lane assist and blind spot monitoring do seem to be improved but that might be because I expected it to be. The new driver alert system does seem to work - it complains about certain driving styles , and if you waver on the road the steering tightens up - dealer explained this and I had to test it safely - difficult to describe but it's doing something. Could be imagination but the seats seem improved and more comfortable . Minor thing but the dash and interior has a really nice appearance. Getting 43mpg at the moment and that is 1300 miles in. Skipped the G3 glasscoat this time, been reading about detailing and tempted by that if I can find a reputable place near Brackley. Got the 299 service plan so happy with that. Really nice car - still love the CX5 !
