Hi guys
First post so go easy on me.
Firstly I am no mechanic or car expert just someone with an appreciation of cars.
Glad to be on the forum if only I where here with good news.
So, after what seemed like months of research into what car to buy ( reviews, youtube vids you name it ) I went for a CX5. I thought It ticked all the boxes I needed it to. However since finding this forum it seems I have gone a bought the model with all the engine problems (cryhard) (cryhard) I went for a 2012 CX-5 L 2.2l D, AWD 175 PS 5T 6GS AL-SPORTS TEC-P N Manufactured 30.10.2012.
VIN JMZKEN92600136006 .with 114,500 KM on the clock. I bought it from a Mazda dealership in Germany as I needed a LHD Model. It has had some very recent work done that I was not aware of until two weeks after I had got it home ( Home currently being Lithuania ) The work carried out was due to a reported lack of power I assume from the previous owner.
( Sorry its partly in German )
LACK OF ACCELERATION_SKYACTIV-D 2.2
VORDERACHSGEOMETRIE PRFEN UND EINSTELLEN
LSIEB & PLEUELLAGER ERNEUERN
MAZDA DEXELIA 5W-30 ULTRA DPF LFILTER
DICHTUNG (VPE 5)
SH REPARATUR KIT A
SH REPARATUR KIT B
SH REPAIR KIT C
SPLL ( cleaning oil )
PLEUELLAGERSCHALE ( connecting rod )
DICHTUNG ( ?? )
LSIEB DICHTRING ( oil seals)
no mention of ECU Upgrade or new dipstick ?
From what I gather this VIN model matches the cars with all the headaches. Have I got a ticking time bomb of a car here ?
Question is, what do I do get rid as soon as poss ????? I'm sooo pissed off I really could do without this.
Thanks in advance for any help advice offered.
Regards Geedub
