After threatening to fill my car with crap Mazda started talking to me and took my car for diagnostics and a quote. Just had the quote to replace the head gasket, skim the head rebuild the turbo, new oil filters etc 4700 Euros Mazda will pay half. Then I find this article ( below ) . note the...

Hi I posted earlier in this thread. This issue is not going away and as cars approach higher milage they are failing more and more. I am still talking with Mazda after they refused to fix my car. I honestly believe that they sold me a car with an engine that they new had major problems. I bought...

Hi I am another victim to the head gasket issue. There is a facebook page in taiwan https://www.facebook.com/groups/cx5sos/ its all in Taiwanese but you can tzanlaste it on the page. Basically they protested about being sold Lemons . I am currently taking it up with a German Mazda dealer who...

Good advice, thanks for the input.

My other gripe is that I bought this car from a Mazda Dealer, they would of been more than aware of the problems relating to this engine. In fact they have even confirmed that its from the dodgey batch and they replaced the turbo. So in effect they have knowingly sold me a car that can break at...

I dont think finding the previous owner is going to be easy as I bought the car in Germany. And we are currently living in Lithuania. I hear what your saying about the camshaft problems being sorted by the previous owner but it has only had the turbo and its associated parts replaced. From what...

Do you think they would do that. Car is 2012 model and has had two services by an independent Garage ?

Very helpful thank you so much

I really needed a CX5 kind of car for many reasons .One being where we live, our house has 5km's of gravel road and its tough on cars. That's one reason as well as money I didn't want to buy new, its painful enough driving this on the gravel to see how dirty and shaken around its getting. The...

I've done some digging and from what I can make out my CX5 falls into the category of big headache and huge repair bills if it goes pop. To say I am annoyed is an understatement. As I previously explained I travelled to Germany from Lithuania to buy from a Mazda dealership mainly for piece of...

This is what I fear I may have to do. Thanks for the link ill get reading..

It happens to all of us when we buy used - we hear sounds and think its a lemon but most of the time it sorts itself out. Any reason you did not buy in Lithuania? Do you have any Mazda dealer there for regular service? Mazdas are pretty hard to find here and the CX5 AWD Sport that i wanted was...

Hey guys thanks ever so much for the responses/input, please accept my apologies for being inpatient in not getting reply's. The lack of replys makes sense now as you don't have the Diesel in the States. I've just realised this forum is mainly frequented by you yanks.( I wish I lived in the...
