Just an FYI, you don't hear these noises I'm experiencing while inside the cabin. You need to have someone outside to hear it. I take very good care of our/my vehicles. To be frank, I have taken better care of the CX9 more than any of my wife's past vehicles due to it being turbo. The fact...

We don't either, we always let the car warm-up...or at the very least come off of high idle. I will try to get a clip and upload it.

This post might be a bit vague, so I apologize. Also, I know a video exists of the skyactiv engines making a bit of racket naturally due to the direct injection and what not. But we notice, when the car is in reverse more than anything, pulling out of our garage it makes a fair bit of noise...

So we got our CX9 back last evening and it was the condenser. It was leaking from the pipe entering/exiting the heat exchanger portion of it, like stated in the TSB. Cost us about 900 bucks total. More than probably most will pay, but the garage we went to did an outstanding job. Everything...

Thanks for posting that. Mine is at the shop right now. See what I hear today. Just as an FYI, I vacuumed the system at home, and it wouldn't hold. It would drop to -25 to -27 PSI and it would go back to zero after a couple minutes. To me, that is a big leak. Replaced the suction line...

Interesting to see more people kind of trickling into this thread with the same issue. So disheartening...

Awesome, thanks for the posting the manual info! That helps if I decide to do this on my own. I saw that in the TSB that it calls for only 2 rough hours of time, so it might just be cost effective to have someone do it and not worry about it. I just haven't had great luck with people...

I don't believe you do actually have to take the bumper off. The approach is really not all that different than changing the radiator. Both sit behind the core support. I do believe the fan needs to come out, and the radiator will need to be at least pushed back to get to the bolts holding...

Damn! Haven't seen that TSB yet, so thank you. Just when I thought this car was done bending me over. I'll have to check it out when I get home tonight. Looks as if I might be pulling the undercover....again! Were you able to see any of the leaking from looking into the front of the bumper...

Probably should have stated that it worked after the engine replacement. That’s kind of why I was asking opinion on this. It worked for about a year and now all of a sudden has no Freon. I would venture to say(or believe) after this past go around in December when they sealed the crank bolts...

Everyone, Thought I'd ask real quick if anyone has had similar issues? Went on a 5 hour trip a week ago and found our AC wasn't working. Got to our hotel, could tell the compressor wasn't kicking on at all. So I took off the valve caps off and depressed both and....nothing. Knew at that...

I know this thread is old. But...I wanted to update it with what has transpired since, because this engine is such an issue in these cars. I think just having the bit of knowledge I learned in the last 6-8 months is worth putting here. This is kind of long, but I think it shows just how...

Hey everyone, My wife has a 2016 CX9 AWD and the there is fluid I found on my undercover a couple weeks ago. I took off the cover and found fluid coming from where bell housing cover is. It’s splattering back as she drives I believe. We are now getting a whining sound when she is taking her...

I went back out tonight when I had some time to play with the system a bit more. I don't know what I did different this time, but like last time I had the vehicle on and running. Not sure if I maybe did a bit different sequence...but it did allow be to change the settings this time around...

No actually, just sitting in my garage trying to get the vehicle set-up the way we want. I tried it with and without the vehicles engine running though.
