Broken oil pump chain on your SkyActiv-D 2.2L diesel? This’s the latest wow on Mazda’s 2.2L diesel in addition to the no-warning sudden overheating problem. I wouldn’t spend any money on this diesel once it broke. Not to mention Mazda has added Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology since 2018 2.2L diesel and the use of AdBlue DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) is required. I wouldn’t say it’s impossible to use a 2018 2.2L diesel to replace your 2013 2.2L, but all the software and hardware you need to support SCR and AdBlue DEF system would be very difficult and expensive.
Just bought a 2016 CX-5 2.2L Diesel, any advice for things to check or do?

I believe he is referring to the cam chain and oil pump. Neither are new issues for his 2013 SkyActiv-D. Both have been around for awhile.
Thanks for replying, same thoughts here, still the rest car is in very good condition and has to be fixed in the best possible way to keep it. I ld apreciate if you know when exactly mazda added scr and adblue in 2018..as i found 06/18 sbsh enjine that looks just the same with mine i just dont have vin number. Furthermore my old coooling system and turbos are in excellent condition.

No, the oil pump on Mazda’s SkyActiv-D 2.2L diesel has a dedicated chain which is not the timing chain. The oil pump chain would break without warning and the engine is ruined because of oil starvation. See the link I posted above in another thread. Those Mazda 2.2L diesel owners in Taiwan are trying to push the government to force Mazda Taiwan having a recall on this problem. The same they did successfully on sudden overheating problem.

At which year Mazda added the SCR / AdBlue DEF system on its 2.2L diesel is really region by region. I know Mazda designed the AdBlue DEF system for 2.2L diesel since 2017 when gen-2 CX-5 came out. I believe many countries in EU received such diesel in MY 2018.
So the best way to find out a correct answer for you is to check out your local Mazda authorities.
Yes and that huge oil pump has a box filter which needs replacement in some cases. In order to replace it, oil pump has to be removed from the bottom part and dismantled.
