Hello, I started hearing this intermittent clicking noise when the car is running. I notice the noise mainly when I start the car and it's idling, and sometimes when I am driving. I have attached a video of the engine running. The noise seems to be mainly coming from the left side, near the...

I have a 2017 Mazda6 2.5L Skyactiv direct injected. Posted in the lounge since this engine is used across many models, figured this may give the thread more visibility. I’m sure it’s due for valve cleaning, although Mazdas supposedly don’t gunk up the valves even with gdi due to some magic...

Recently did a oil change in my 2013 CX5 with 200k. I have had this car for right around a year and it has always had a stronger oil smell than my other two cars (Toyota's). I was wondering if this was the case with you guys as well. I know this is a DI motor so fuel Dilution isn't out if the...

Last week I bought a new 2025 CX-5 S Select. So far, I’m really liking the vehicle. I was surprised (and pleased) to find on the test drive that it has no auto stop start. Now I am wondering, did I get the same allegedly heavier duty starter that comes with auto stop start? Or is it a...

Our beloved 2014 CX-5 has served us mighty well for many years. She's got 314k miles on her now and she's got her first major trouble. I'd appreciate some help on what troubleshooting to do next. On my wife's way home she got a check engine light. I pulled the code and it is a P0304. Cylinder 4...

Hello everyone, Maybe someone here has experienced something similar. I have a Mazda CX-5 2014 diesel 2.2, which I bought about 10 months ago on finance. My first issue appeared with an error saying “Vehicle System Inspection Required.” I took it to the garage, and they said it was an air-con...

Mazda CX-5 2.2L Hi, This is my first post, and you may say "garage" is the right answer... But my Mazda has a very noticeable judder in 3rd, 4th, 5th, (don't to to 6th often) from 1.8K revs to 2.5K revs, if just lightly touching the peddle it will cruse without judder, but heavier pedal press...

Hi! Not sure if anyone will be able to help me figure out why my 2005 5speed Mazda6 is making this fluttering noise and it's pretty loud. It started about a week and a half ago and I had the check engine light on and the codes it threw were P0304, P0850 and that's it. I went to go to work the...

I have a 2003 Protege5 with a starting issue. The car ran when I pulled it into my shop to install a radio. Finished the install and then I go to start the car. Everything primes and there was a clicking noise by the center console. Any ideas?

Hi there Posting here for the first time For the past month my CX-7 (2.3L turbo petrol) has had the check engine light on. I took it to the mechanic and he found error codes related to the battery, fan modules and high pressure fuel pump. I fixed all of these parts in addition to doing an...

Hi, was seeing if anyone else have this. I did a lot of highway driving but over two years it mainly been city. Let's say 80 % city, would take 8 months to even hit 7,000 miles. Recently on highway when I hit "sport mode" for the boost, I do smell a oil burning. Was wondering if anyone else...
