Anyone ever tried a silicone spray on the rubber? Here in Quebec - it does little miracles. I use the one sold for garage doors. Since I MUST use an access card for the parking lot - I have tried many methods. Silicone spray is the best I have found. Phratt

Hi, and the guy seemed lost about the steelies and suggested getting them direct at the dealership That is because their charts say 17 inches. Their charts do not even give the pressure to which the bolts will be torked (90 pounds from source: Mazda dealer). At Costco Anjou, the mechanic...

Hello everyone, Thank you all for your answers. I have had installed 225/70-16 tires on Mazda5 16 inch steelies. The space between the front wheel calipers and the rim is tight - a small rock (1/8 th inch) can get stuck in between. If this does happen, with your results + my searches - I...

I GIVE UP !!! Called 5 different dealers - asked if 16 inch Mazda5 steel rims would fit the CX-5. 2 said NO 2 said YES 1 Said call someone else - we do not know + it is not recommended by Mazda. Has anyone tried it?

Hello, I need a quick answer. YES or NO a) Will 16 inch steel rims fit on a CX-5 (whatever trim) b) Have your tried it personally? I know the subject has been discussed, but there does not seem to have anyone who did try it. If someone HAS tried it, would it be possible to give me the...

Hi everyone, I'll just add my 2 cents to this thread... I own a CX-5 - 6Mt - FWD. Had about 5500Km (about 3400 Miles) on the ODO before the trip. Filled up the gas tank in Plattsburgh, reset all the counters, got on I-87 - destination : New Jersey. Did some sight seeing with the car in...

Hi, My CX-5 / 6SpM / FWD has 1493Km (927.7 Miles) on the ODO. I can honestly say that I do not drive it hard, the numbers will confirm. This is : 85% city driving in Montreal stop and go traffic (average speed of 25 Km/h), 15% highway driving at an average speed of 100Km/h (62 MPH)...

Hi, Here in Canada - I've been offered an extended warranty when I purchased the CX-5... Phratt

Hello, To be honest - I do not know. I have not tested. These came with my 2009 Mazda5. I think they should work on different model/year Mazda's. Phratt

Crosspost authorized by Antoine Hello everyone, I have two (2) original 2009 Mazda 5 switchblade keys for sale. Before you even ask... the 2009 Mazda5 I owned is... gone !! Loved it... Early on - when I got the car - I had a regular key made because I had an alarm system installed...

I do not think so... hill assist only kicks in at a certain number of degrees - from what I have seen.

Hi JNT, That is a real good answer - logical. After reading the entire thread, I seem to have failed to give out one piece of information about this "thing" - after 30 minutes of stop and go traffic, it still does the +500 RPM when my foot is taken off the brakes. My CX-5 has 600Km on the...

Might have to get the on board computer totally reprogrammed...

Hello everyone, I called my dealer to get some information. Here is what they had to say they say they never heard of this problem they say they do not know this model (CX-5) yet they say it is not supposed to do that they say it might be a tool of some sort they also said that they never...

I do not think it's the normal vacuum reaction (+/- 100RPMs) If I hold the brakes - clutch to the floor, the RPMs are as steady as one can expect. When I let go of the brakes (clutch still to the floor) RPMs go up +500. If I do not press on the brakes, goes back down to idle 1-2 seconds...

Hello everyone, I noticed something on my stick shift CX-5... Canadian version. Let's say I'm stopped at a light. One foot on the clutch, the other on the brake. The engine is on idle. When I release the brakes, the RPM goes up 500 RPM for a second or two. Then drops back to idle. After...

Hi, I live in Quebec, Canada. I've asked myself the same question. Went to the dealer (the day the delivery truck came) and asked him to park a red beside a blue one. For my likings - I preferred the red one. For the likings of my wife and friends - they like the red one better in real life...

DANG !!!! Did they rotate the tires front to back leaving the rims as they were on the car, and then balance the wheels!! This is a perfect example of something that we can all do ourselves. 20 screws, one jack and one car support, and a tiny bit of perspiration. The more we learn, the more...
