2015 Mazda CX-5 Sport 2.5, 150k miles
Looking for where the knock sensor is on a 2015 Mazda CX-5 with a 2.5l engine. Any help is appreciated!
Did some research on OEM parts and the whole set of intake manifold with both gaskets costs much more than $100; but gaskets should be much cheaper.Maybe the price was for the intake manifold itself, that's too much for only a gasket. I paid about $30 for a genuine mazda valve cover gasket.
It’s confusing that the green intake manifold gasket(s?) PY01-13-111 comes with a set of 4 or not. Many Mazda online stores do show 4 gaskets but others show only one. Judging by the price of single red throttle body gasket I feel PY01-13-111 contains only one gasket?It's $30 per intake gasket. There are 4 gaskets on your intake.
That’s what I figured but the parts list from Mazda simply is not consistent. BTW, can you tell us how many miles has your original knock sensor lasted?The ones I got from rock auto were singles. The dealer stated theirs were singles as well

Honestly we haven’t seen many knock sensor failing here. I believe in your case you didn’t feel anything abnormal until you saw the CEL. At least you can DIY and all the time you spent for the job you can also clean up carbon deposits on throttle body、intake manifold、and intake valves as a preventive maintenance which we usually won’t do unless there’re obvious related symptoms.6 years and 120,000 miles
I don't think it's very common. I couldn't find a single thread or YouTube video for it. As you said, given the miles, it was a great excuse to clean up the engine a bit. This is my 3rd 2.5L. So far I've made 200k+ on each. This job should help me get there with this one.Honestly we haven’t seen many knock sensor failing here.

Hope my wife’s 2010 Mazda 3S 2.5L engine lasts that long. It only has 40k miles on it now.I don't think it's very common. I couldn't find a single thread or YouTube video for it.

Change the oil. Don't beat it and 200k is easy to achieve. I have always wondered how much beyond that they would go but I never stuck it out past that. I drive way too many miles away from home to have a car let me sit.Hope my wife’s 2010 Mazda 3S 2.5L engine lasts that long. It only has 40k miles on it now.
…and it seems like its running really hot (like I'll see the heat or condensation coming off hood on mildly cold days even after short 10 15 mile trips.
