Help cx-5 oil pressure

[BigAl]

Probably not what you want to hear, but - when this happened to me - there had been no recall issued (still hasn't as far as I know, it's probably not regarded as safety related) and I believe that it was decided by Mazda to only "fix this issue if it occurs". Mine was under warranty at the time fortunately so was sorted straightaway. FYI, the CX5 doesn't even appear on the DVSA recalls list http://www.dft.gov.uk/vosa/apps/recalls/default.asp

The net result of that, if true, is that there are a lot of early models changing hands now with an inherent problem which may or may not have been sorted. As knowledge of this problem becomes known, these vehicles are going to become unsaleable unless Mazda agree to sort it irrespective of age or warranty status. If a good solicitor got involved, a group action on behalf of affected owners might be the way forward?

Well we have a slight update. The dealer we purchased the car from (v12) have rang the garage where the car is at the moment. They asked the mechanic if he would fit an engine if they supplied one. He told them unless it comes direct from Mazda he ain't doing it, to which they replied that this now causes an issue. They then said they purchased 4 of these cx-5's and they have all come back with the same problem!

This pretty much confirms the fault was there on purchase!

We have had a setback.

Where did the range of vin numbers come from that are effected? Was it released by Mazda?

Found these two videos on Youtube explaining the problems of Mazda 2.2 Diesel Engine Failures

The information regarding the VIN numbers was originally brought onto this forum by an ex member passing on information from elsewhere.  Whether this turns out to be a case of passing on erroneous information or not I cannot answer. But here are the origins.

He first published the information here http://www.caravantalk.co.uk/community/topic/109297-volvo-xc60-or-mazda-cx5/  .................   post number 16

and then posted it in this forum  here http://mazdacx5forums.co.uk/index.php?topic=469.msg3392#msg3392  ..................................   post number 6 

Please remember that information posted here, or anywhere else, is subject to interpretation.  It may well be factual and can be relied upon, but it is always a case that there maybe an element of error. 
I believe there have been members who have been successful in pursuing justice armed with the information you have.  Perhaps one of those can come forward with further help.

What !!!!! Fake news on this forum? Surely not.

Well I suppose it did originally come from the home of the fake ..... oops sorry of the brave

I'm abit confused now.

I thought the swarf was caused by improper hardening of the cams? Those videos seem to suggest it's a combination of dpf regen/injector seals/carbon and diesel/oil mix?
