2 hours for a shop to replace a wheel hub? That sounds super speedy to me. I would expect a shop to keep the car until the next day for something like that.
Huh, well they told me an hour when I made the appointment.2 hours for a shop to replace a wheel hub? That sounds super speedy to me. I would expect a shop to keep the car until the next day for something like that.
I didn't look at it that closely. Where it broke was not completely flush with the lug nut.Did the stud snapped off flush with the hub?
Yes, the fuel filter on the diesel is a regular schedule maintenance item with an interval of 22,500 miles.Is it a regular maintenance item for diesel?
no kidding, IMHO piano black trim is one of the WORST trends in automotive design right now.The carbon finder door handle window lift panels and center console just got delivered. Can't wait to get them applied. Not a big fan of the gloss black interior trim for high touch areas. Scratches way too easily.
Thanks for the write-up although it's for the rare CX-5 diesel in the US.R & R'd the fuel filter on my 2019 North American 2.2 diesel.
When it was done the first time at the Mazda Dealership (under the 2 years / 30k miles free maintenance), they told me about how hard it is to do and they needed to keep my car an extra day because it took the tech a half of a day just to change the fuel filter. I thought it was odd because it looked like I could just reach in there and grab it with my hand. (it lives on the passenger side firewall and seems easily accessible).
Pffffffft, changed it myself in 10 minutes at home. No fuel spilling or leaking. Hardest thing was just squeezing the little plastic cable anchor tabs back together to push through the hole to release it for the wiring on the sedimentor / water switch. The filter itself is a spin-on like an oil filter and is just hand tight. Came off very easy and plenty of room to pull it out without spilling anything. Swap the water switch onto the new filter, get the assembly back into position and fill the filter with about 8oz of diesel (make sure the fuel and funnel/tube are clean clean clean!) Started the car up, it ran a few seconds and stalled. Took about two series of long cranking for it to work the air out of the system and back to normal.
Have you ever had any issues with eBay seller brakes ?Recently did a brake job. Prices on basic full brake kits are back down to the $110-$150usd point on ebay.
Interesting you should say that. A year ago an oil change at a Mazda dealer cost me $64.49 + tax This past week at the same dealer with the same part numbers, same synthetic oil, same 5 qts., came to $57.81 + tax.Recently did a brake job.

Wow, paid $109 (Denver area) after $15 off on 4/19 for same.Interesting you should say that. A year ago an oil change at a Mazda dealer cost me $64.49 + tax This past week at the same dealer with the same part numbers, same synthetic oil, same 5 qts., came to $57.81 + tax.
Probably the mid-cycle update for the 1st gen 2016 model year.I have a feeling it's actually for the "facelift" KE, whatever that is.
FWIW, when I installed my roof rails and cross bars I use same size hex head bolts instead of the included torx bolts. Not only easier to install with a ratchet, but will be tons easier to remove if needed. Well worth the trip to Hone Depot , imo
