engine

Hello everybody, I have a 2013 CX-5 That I recently got as a bit of a fixer-upper. Its been really good so far, really easy to work on and a good commuter car. However, I believe the engine mounts are going bad, and I would like to replace them. But in doing so, I see a couple of engine...

2018 Mazda CX-9 cracked cylinder head. Quoted $8400 for new engine replacement! This is ridiculous! I have been seen a lot of posts about this known manufacturer defect. Is there anyway to get Mazda to pay for this?

I need some input before my head explodes. Situation: Bought my 3 in December. It is the fourth 3 I've had in the past 12 years. Until three years ago I lived in Upstate New York. I now live in Central Florida. We get some pretty chilly mornings here. 35 - 40 degrees has not been uncommon...

My engine started making a continuous knocking noise 2 days ago. After letting it run for a good 20 minutes the noise continued so I decided to investigate myself. After taking the top off the engine, I noticed it was most likely one of my outer lash adjusters causing the knocking...I noticed...

We have the details of the CX-60, Inline Six Diesel Engine with 48V Mild Hybrid. While I don't think it will come to NA, still good information, as I think all they're inline sixes will feature the 48V mild hybrid. Two variants: RWD: 200hp - 4.9l/100km ; (48mpg US) AWD: 251hp - 0-100km/h -...

**Moderator Edit** Please review the Mazda Dealer communication below. Mazda has issued a Customer Service Program (CSP11) to extend the limited powertrain warranty to 10 years/120k mi for any owners experiencing the coolant leak. Further, any owners who have paid out of pocket for these repairs...

I'm wondering what the general consensus it on the brand of oil for the 2nd gen CX-9. Some swear on Mobil 1 and some stay with Castol Edge as the "dealer's recommendation". Any noticeable difference in MPG and/or engine NVH when switching between brands? Catrol Edge alone has the black and gold...

I have a 2016 CX-5 in for server and the belt tensioner is leaking badly. I'm almost at 54,000 miles. I purchased the car certified pre-owned in March of 2018. For tire rotation and oil change they did a full inspection and showed me that the belt tensioner is leaking and highly recommend a...

Hi, I have been searching for a while and cannot find any directions to remove the exhaust manifold, I have it physically unbolted and maneuverable , but there must be a trick to getting it removed. Does anyone have instruction on the removal process? one thing that I think is causing me grief...

Well, I've been trying to get my P5 back on the road. Started driving it again last week (first time it has been driven since April 2018). Put about 50 miles on it when the check engine light came on and started flashing. Misfire and dead downstream O2 sensor (had mechanic friend check it...

My wife told me that the check engine light came on today on the CX-5 (2013 2.0Gas, 80K Miles). She did not notice drivability concern, except saying the engine 'might be' a bit louder at loads. I used OBD scanner and retrieved two codes: P0172 running rich, P013a downstream O2 slow switch...

A few weeks ago the belt tensioner unit failed while driving. I had that replaced and after that I noticed some hesitation while driving. On Friday I was on the highway and felt more hesitation and when I stepped on the gas I got three error messages. A message engine inspection required, TPMS...

hi, the oil spec of the non turbo cx5 is very wide and i know the car can deal with a lot of oil specs but wanted to know what type and brand people use. im a bit of an oil freak and like to use the best lubes. bought my 2.5 awd non turbo 2016.5 5 months ago with 20 k miles now and been using...

A few weeks ago, the CEL came on. I took it to Advanced Auto, they gave me the code, went to the mechanic, and he said that it was one of the oxygen sensors. I paid for that repair, and by the time I came back home, the CEL was back on. I took it back, they said nothing was wrong with the...

Hey all, First time posting so excuse me if it's in the wrong area. My P5 took a dump on me with 329k on the clock and it's time for a new motor. I'm gong to ultimately rebuild the current motor but have time constraints so I just need to get a motor in asap. I have an FSDE in it but when I...

Hi guys, I've swapped a Mazdaspeed Protege engine that I completely re-built with the help of an experienced engine builder into my P5. Upon starting the motor for the first time after the rebuild I was very distraught to hear a horrible rattling/knocking coming from under the hood. My valves...

Hello, Im trying to locate the vent valve for my 2013 CX-9. Has anybody had to change theirs? Was it pretty straightforward? I do most of my own maintenance but am having the hardest time locating the vapor canister and the vent valve. Thanks in advance.

Hey all! So recently the my engine started knocking so I'm planning on putting a new engine in (oem) and putting a turbo on it. If the damage in the current engine isn't that bad I'll probably end up re-building the motor if possible and boosting at a later date (unlikely). Anyways, I'm on a bit...

Hi everyone, Upon cold start up at 65F, my CX-9's engine speed surges for a second to ~1600RPM from the ~1400RPM warm-up speed. I have been having this problem with my CX-9 from every cold start for a few weeks now as I don't recall it doing this in the past. After the engine is warmed up, the...

Hello All, I'm considering replacing the serpentine belt in my 2016 CX-3 Grand Touring. I've done belts on other cars before. Has anyone done this on a CX-3 before? Did you think it was particularly difficult? Any tips/tricks?
