    Engine Oil Rise

    The way I see it I'll be doing MazdaUK a favour in publishing my story of bad customer service. Those who gave the bad customer service already know, but will they act... I doubt it considering they wouldn't ever admit a problem, a wrong-doing or give an apology. So by exposing their...

    Engine Oil Rise

    I've had bigger issues over longer periods of time Dad of John, but I've never had such shocking treatment by any organisation as I've had with MazdaUK. The car issues I can accept as part of the new product introduction process but for me, mazdaUK completely lost my trust when they began lying...

    Engine Oil Rise

    Well WNJ, my gold automotive technician I had to hire to get Mazda to listen would most definitely disagree with you, as would RAC. I have a RAC car stating the vehicle must not be driven with oil level at X mark. I also have a legal expert witness report claiming that if unchecked and with...

    Engine Oil Rise

    Dad of Jon et.al. I will indeed provide more information, just bear with me over coming weeks whilst I compile it. My vehicle arrived with my dealer at the end of August 2012 after arriving in the country immediately before. I'm not sure the week number of build but someone of this forum may...

    Engine Oil Rise

    I understand I was one of the first to receive the ECU update and dipstick B back towards the end of January. This resulted in minor slowing of the oil level rise but still meant I'd reach the original X mark level in around 3,000 to 3,700 miles. So the 'fix hadn't worked for me. The dipstick...

    How loud is it inside the cabin?

    Try the new 2013 Ford Escape and compare to the CX-5. I find it significantly quieter at anything over 40mph. I'm comparing diesel variants. It is not worth my while commenting on low speed noise comparisons because engine noise begins to take over in diesels.

    Anyone noticing any oil consumption out there?

    Don't believe all you find in forums. Yes Mazda are rolling out an ecu update aimed at resolving the issue. I'll let those awaiting the update decide on whether or not they consider it a fix.

    Diesel Regen frequency

    I had an independent expert look into the frequency of the diesel CX-5 DPF regenerations. He said that the car is regenerating far too often (and this is probably contributing to the oil rise issue) and in his vast experience in the industry (master technician), it is regenerating at least twice...

    No the dealer did not contact me. It was an excruciatingly painful experience and resulting in the onset of grey hairs!

    Engine Oil Rise

    The oil rising issue is not isolated to the odd vehicle here and there, it must be endemic with every CX-5 diesel because the ecu software shipped with the vehicles to end 2012 was all the same. They are trying to address the issue through modifying the engine management software which is only...

    You could try Bruce at Sandicliffe Loughborough (towards the end of the month). I found them very competitive if you're ready to place an order and know the spec of the car you want/can leave a deposit.

    Engine Oil Rise

    The Mazda CX-5 oil rise fix has arrived in the UK. The same fix that begun in Japan which is being rolled out in Australia is now being applied to UK vehicles. The fix consists of an ECU software update to reduce overfuelling under acceleration conditions apparently (not DPF regen cycle). It...

    2.0 Petrol or 2.2 Diesel?

    1300 miles on my diesel cx-5. Oil level right where it was on the day I bought it. I too was concerned prior to purchase but my driving style/profile does not result this far in any rising oil levels. Really enjoying the car.
