Hey, I know, old topic but, have the 2012 KE cx5 and it's a GT so has a sunroof which I barely use, but I do occasionally. Need roof racks because when doing long trips I need extra space and if I do put Mazda racks sunroof cannot be operated (I guess cannot be tilted only but can still be...

Has anyone ever checked what's under the carpet where the dead pedal is? is it polystyrene?

Hi, I’ve just realised after 4 years of owing the 2013 Awd GT bose cx5, that I don’t have the subwoofer in the spare wheel well and there is no wiring for it either despite the system being bose with bose amplifier under the dash and 7 speakers? Is it how they were in 2013 or am I missing...

Do steering controls work with this?

What tyre is that?

Don’t replace abs sensors just because the scan tool says so. Read data stream for them and see if you spin the wheel by hand it picks up the speed. If not, it is faulty, if it does, look somewhere else. Don’t throw your money in the air

Update: in January 2020 my superseded steering wheel had started peeling off again. Initially it was just one bubble, than it became 4 and the leather protection was coming off just so easily. It was replaced in December 2018. My mazda dealer had refused to replace it again so i had contacted...

Just a heads up for anyone from Australia - WESFIL has started making Mazda CX-X oil filters specifically for those models. part number on them reads PE01-14-302 Nippon Max series. Cross reference for them is OEM PE0114302, WIX 57002. Better than the general RYCO Z436

I suggest you do a compression test and pressure test in a workshop.

Does it start fine or struggles to start?

Im not sure what the price for spark plugs is in USA but in Australia 4 genuine Spark plugs for cx5 cost you roughly $150 AUD for a set whereas I can get NGK ones for $60. You try to convince a customer to buy genuine ones. The reason they are not servicing their cars at the dealership is...

I work as a mechanic mate, i need no research. Have been using NGK/denso for ages on brand new cars or old ones. As long as you follow the cross reference supplied by NGK / Denso. Never ever had I any issue with those spark plugs. But again, if you want to stick to the electrical numbers and...

Something is wrong with your Tapatalk plugin. Mazda247 group disappears after I close the app and if I look for it, it wont come up in search. Its only possible to visit it if you access the group through last reply to any thread, then it shows the error saying plugin not active on this forum, I...

[emoji23] what a non sense.... keep using oem and getting ripped off instead of using good ngk or denso spark plugs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Sorry, one year late, but it's brake springs. All CX5 first gen do that. Tried lots of them in the workshop.

Every Mazda does that. Strange not every car though. Working in a mechanical shop and I only noticed that on Mazdas which is quite annoying. I think it's brake springs which are meant to be replaced with every brake job, but not all aftermarket brake pads have them in the box.

Hi, just a quick question. Looking for a towbar for my KE only for the bike carrier to be mounted on it. Does the rear bumper need to be cut or it can be mounted with it untouched?

If the shutter is in the steering wheel when braking, its front rotors. Id machine them as its cheap and see how it goes

They rarely break. Pretty good clips compared to other manufacturers. What did you use as a damper on your doors?

Easy as. Are you talking about the one on the body or the tailgate? If its the first, you open up the cover in the boot where you replace bulbs, then unscrew 3 10mm nuts. If its the latter, you have to remove the trim.
