Hi,
Any one know the location of the solenoid valve which controls the delivery of vacuum to the turbo diverter valve.
I had my cx-5 2013 back with the dealer who says they have fitted a new one, which hasn't fix the problem. Now I want to check if they really have if I can find it. I suspect it's down the back maybe accessable better from below.
Why do I want to check, well 80 miles from dealer to home took in on a Tuesday 9 o'clock got it back following Saturday, drove home found a small improvement which could well be due to two good hot motorway run's and fuel additives, parked up and opened bonnet. First noticed cover missing from battery + main fuse terminal, then found rubber air tube from filter not pushed onto the plastic connection to the inlet manifold at all, also small tube from EGR valve area to spigot just below the air filter hanging down and also the nut and washer which hold the plastic center section of the boost diverted gas tube missing.
So obviously they removed battery, removed air supply and boost diverter tubes to access the diverter valve assembly. But did they actually fit a new solenoid valve ? I want to check as I don't believe a word they say now given what they didn't do putting it back together.
Sent text and photos over a week ago so far no response.
By the way what they were supposed to be finding was reason for black smoke unburned fuel on acceleration and by the smell at all speeds but not visible.

Hi
I found the location thanks to posting this same request on the other Mazda forum the.com one mainly Australia New Zealand etc.which seems to be much more active.
Given what I describe the state the dealer sent my car home as fixed in even though it isn't I was surprised to find the solenoid was a new one What I was not surprised by was the fact it was dangling by the tubing and wiring not fixed to the bracket just tubes pulled of the original and pushed on replacement.
As the dealer stated they had a code which said the solenoid was faulty when I took the car to a Mazda independent specialist nice guy I have found, who when I explained what the dealer had done and the state the car came back in and I could see the solenoid hanging he got us in on the ramp to check ran diagnostic on both neither where faulty. Which is no surprise as it was not fixed in the first place. Now running on the original with no difference between that and the new one. This guy is going to speak with his contacts at Mazda and get me back in again as apart from the smoke it runs fine he cleared all the code's he had introduced testing and we went out came back and no codes for anything at all. All at no charge, unlike the dealer who charged £440 left all the parts not refitted and a unnecessary part.
So anyone in the Bolton area steer clear of Wateringpool Cars who have still not responded to my photos of the state they left my car in.
