    Tyre Pressure Increase Pressure Dashboard Warning

    I have a warning appeared on my dash two days ago. It doesn't seem linked with the TPMS system.

Know...

    First Add on's?

    So since my p5 is my first car and I barely have experience, I was wondering what some of you veterans first did to your p5 way back then. Was it internal or external? Cold-air intake or exhausts maybe? Just curious and would love a little nudge to the right direction.

    Diesel particulate filter and consumption

    I noticed than approx every 300 km (186 miles) my Mazda CX-5 2013 starts to consume significantly much more diesel (approx additional 4 litres per 100 km) during next 10-15 km (6-9 miles). This phenomenon may depend on driving habits, e.g. usually I make 40 mins drive to work and back and...

    I had the clutch replaced this last spring/summer at a private repair shop that I've used a number of times. A couple days ago, my wife couldn't get the car started and thought the battery was dead. It wasn't. The clutch switch was not being actuated when the clutch pedal was pressed to the...
