General Discussion / my mazda
« Last Post by chubnut on September 21, 2023, 05:18:15 pm »Just thought i would give in insight to my own ownership. I have had my base model 2.2 NAV-SEL for 6 years. I bought it with 25000 miles on it and it now has 59000. I have had no issues whatsoever ( apart from consumables). I wont let Mazda service it, so purchased a service book and get my mechanic( personal friend) to fill it in when done. I was a mechanic many moons ago so how how they work so don't want an apprentice doing mine. I have had to replace a few trim clips, where i caught the outer door trim on a high kerb. So because of my own positive experience will be keeping mine for years to come. For anyone that needs door card clips etc this is where i got them from.

Exterior Trim / Wing Mirrors 2018 CX-5
« Last Post by kp220 on September 21, 2023, 07:40:46 am »Hi
I have a 2018 CX-5 Sport+, my near side Wing Mirror has suddenly started not retracting fully … I saw that someone last year posted that they’d had the same issue which was resolved by having new motors fitted under warranty, I don’t have that luxury as the car is now out of warranty, is there anything else I could do to get it working … or if not does anyone know the cost implication ?
Many thanks

CX-5 / SE L v 175 Sport
« Last Post by Cxhammer on September 19, 2023, 08:16:21 pm »A few thoughts having 'downsized' from Sport to SE L.
Soul Red/Stone leather, Sport, best colour combo. New one is Black,looks good but......
150 v 175 BHP. Normal driving no difference.
2wd v Awd . Odd touch of wheelspin at wet junction otherwise no noticeable difference on the tarmac
17" wheel v 19". Slightly softer more comfortable ride and quieter, less tramling.More relaxing on our rough roads
In normal driving no difference in handling.
SE L Not so many toys but Blindspot Monitor missed stuff, lane departure just annoying. Swivelling headlights good
So do I miss the sport? Not really and SE L cost 2 grand less than the equivalent Sport (if only I could have found a red one)

Engine/Transmission/Powertrain/Exhaust / Re: EGR and how it works
« Last Post by filterMan on September 04, 2023, 01:16:08 pm »Did you resolve this? It sounds like your EGR cooler bypass valve is open when it shouldn't be so in normal hot engine operation you are getting hot exhaust gasses fed back into the engine. It's controlled by the coolant temperature. If you have a scan tool, perhaps make sure your coolant temperature sensor is operating correctly? I've not looked at the wiring diagram but it could also be a wiring issue so check what voltage you have at the valve terminals when the engine is hot and when it's cold.

Engine/Transmission/Powertrain/Exhaust / Where is everybody???
« Last Post by SteveAWD on August 30, 2023, 11:21:17 am »I can't believe that on my previous post (just under this one) and after close to 100 views, that nobody has any info on this.
On that post is a link to how the EGRs work on our 2.2 CX5s. On the first page there's a list of sensors that control the EGRs at various temperatures. What I would like is a definition of what say an ECT sensor is and where its location is. What is a Baro sensor? That sort of thing.
Surely this forum is for more than soap and polish? I've posted this new thread as if I just add it to the other one it may not get any response.

CX-5 / Autolock design problem
« Last Post by bw10030 on August 29, 2023, 09:08:00 am »Hi everyone:
Reporting an issue with the autolock function I had recently on my wifes CX-3, it also affects the CX-5:
If you have Autolock on (which seems a good idea as it you walk away with the car unlocked and the key in your pocket), the doors will lock. They should not lock if the car identifies that the key is inside or in close proximity. However . . . .
My wife unlocked and opened the rear door of the CX-3, by touching but not opening the drivers door (keyless entry) and then put some shopping on the rear seat, including her handbag (which contained the car keys). On shutting the rear door to get in to drive, all doors locked, with the keys inside! I had to come to the rescue with the spare set of keys. It could have been worse. . . . . .
Now I thought this could not happen (that the doors can lock with a key inside). Turns out it can. Apparently the signal from the key can be swamped by (for example) the signal from a mobile phone (if it close proximity). In this case the wife had her phone and the car keys in the handbag. I tried the same scenario in the CX-5 and the same thing happened - you can lock yourself out of the car if the circumsatnces are right! I believe this issue also affect other manufacturers but can't vouch for that.
So on both my cars, autolock is now disabled (it's easy to do through the menu's), point of this post is to warn other that Autolock is not infallible and you could end up locked out of your car. Pressing the lock button on the key fob isn't really such a faff compared with being locked out of your car!
