  • Vibration and whistle noise in rain

    With my CX 60 Built. 2023/07 in rain from about 130 kmh a annoying whistle noise, which sucks badly. The tires are not, already changed. Now we have found by chance that it stops, when I fold the mirrors electrically, is of course no solution at 150 on the highway. Does anyone have experiences there? I have almost 40 Tkm down and am only so semi-enthusiastic, total failure after 12 Tkm was already there, with engine damage!

  • CX-30 G122 Oil consumption

    Hello! In December last year I bought a used 2019 CX-30 with 37000km on the clock. G122 engine, hand switch… actually a car with which you can not do much wrong. Now almost half a year later the joy is now very clouded: after 6000km in March the car showed the yellow oil light for the first time. According to the measuring rod it was just below minimum. So from the fMH where I bought the car and let it fill up oil there. Since the engine is not for this kind of thing we had the assumption that at the last service in December ggbfs. not enough oil was refilled. I checked 2 days later on the measuring bar, it looked quite full. The oil came almost to the 2nd point. Now, another 7000km later the oil indicator goes on again. Driving style: Occasionally 20min to work in the city. Mostly highway and country road on weekends (approx. 200-400km). Consumption is combined at 5,5l and I stroke the accelerator and switch rather early (latest We have the G120 engine at home in the Mazda 3 and it never needs extra oil between the intervals. Is that normal? I know, the Mazda 0.8l/1000km indicates, but this is more to be seen as legal protection. Since such a thing is not so easy to find out during a test drive, I wonder how to proceed here. Oil can be poured again and again, you can already m achen, but with such a new car I find it very disappointing. I don’t feel like I’m going to be able to flute the engine someday after the used car warranty.

  • Mazda CX5 known weak points

    Hello, I have unfortunately gucked into the Mazda CX5 Wanted to crash some car dealerships soon. Of course I want to deal with the dealer something and would therefore like to know if the CX5 has known flaws that I should pay attention to? Or what should be taken into account when buying like e.g. rust problems, headlights that are leaking quickly or similar?

  • CX-60 Plug In

    Good day together! I briefly drove the CX-60 and must say that I am enthusiastic about engine, transmission and driving behaviour. I am currently driving a Sorento plug in and there are worlds in between. Now my question is whether you can drive the CX60 as a pure hybrid. So that the setting remains in the hybrid. Is this the same in SPort mode? So the mode stays when switching on? Sorento doesn’t work. It changes to the selector mode when switching on like that. Thank you very much.

  • Never again Mazda

    Hello together, after 2 x CX60 (once Hybrid and now 254D) I leave the forum because after 3 months with the CX60 254D (all packages plus PD) I have many problems again. The worst was however an engine damage (injection nozzle defective) after not even 3 months on a trip in Switzerland. 6 days repair, on the first day 12x(!) Mazda Assistance Europe called – not a single RR or email, partly in the middle of the conversation hung up (“sorry, more than 10 minutes I can not per customer”, dana ch Letter to Mazda Europa and D, until today (14 days later) no answer! My CX cost almost 70,000 and after 2.5 months an engine damage abroad and I had to bring with wife, dog and 4 suitcases by train home and after a week by train (7h) back the car (6h). Conclusion: 3 days lost, 1,200€ and they don’t even apologize for this? In addition the problems already mentioned here with the chassis (in the case of bend brakes common dangerous swings..) and d Navigation failures still 18 months after the start (the 11 errors with the hybrid, also here everything chewed through, I still understood in the first series, but now also with the 2nd CX and then this treatment. Conclusion: they can not and I advise all who have not yet firmly ordered, to wait until all these problems are solved and to buy something else. We had 2x 6 sports combi and CX30 and CX 3 and they were all ok. Both CX were Takumis in Machine grey Takumi Full with Carstyler dog lining and Mazda special rims winter. I have ordered a Lotus Eletre now, comes in January. My CX60 D254 Takumi stands with 17,000€ discount after 3 months in all portals and no one wants it. Also an experience…

  • CX5 Purchase

    Hello, I’m thinking of buying a CX5 Sportsline G194. Have looked at the fuel monitor, the consumption is at some at 7,.. L/100KM. I realize that everyone drives differently or has a different track profile but I feel the consumption is too low (always 2.5l all-wheel and automatic), or is this really realistic? Does the cylinder shutdown really bring what? Think about 9 L/100 km is realistic, isn’t it? The fuel consumption is not quite so decisive, since I don’t want to buy a CX5 Sportsline G194. I am currently driving an Opel with 180hp (turbo) and automatic, which also takes between 8.7 -10 liters (50% urban traffic/50% rural road). The exclusive line G-165 with all-wheel drive and automatic will consume a little less. Do you notice the difference between the two cars with the driving performance very much? Where do I like the sportsline equipment better. How are the inspection costs for small and large service? Just want to inform me in advance, test drive etc. of course still comes! Thanks for information!

  • CX3 AHK retrofitting with E-set problems

    Hello. Maybe someone can help. A speci from me has fetched a removable AHK for his Mazda CX3 with according to the selection list vehicle the suitable E-set from Brink. The hardware itself was not an act, where it has now failed on the electrics. All cables in the can clamped, as in the description and also twice controlled even with multimeter measured. Mass is also connected with the beige cable set. Problem we have as soon as e in the rear bicycle carrier is connected to the can, there is even nothing on the carrier. The flasher relay ticks in the car, so that the turn signals flash faster at the front than at the rear but no lamps shine on the carrier. A cable should also be branched off for lighting NSL but this then did not work any more, as described in the description. Cable again clamped on series. Since front of the PDC control unit was also occupied by the specification of the place to pin (es g ibt da 3 Versions) we have taken the 1st version since 2 and 3 of the said pins were already occupied and that was then also in the trunk, that would be for the reverse gear. Cable set in itself plug & play together. Are a little helpless, because a lot of wrong can not be done normally. Had had recently also had a driver carrier retrofitted without problems electr. , like mechn. Even with another trailer times tried at the car not much more. He had to have the car completely and he started it all again. Maybe someone knows advice or had had something like that already.

  • Purchase advice Mazda CX5

    Hi guys, by chance I have become aware of the new CX5. From the outside I find the car a force, inside I have to see how the material looks like during a test drive. In the overall context I can convince the car so far of the optical, even if there is no ambient lighting or a black roof sky. Since I have a lot of city traffic and a few kilometers, a diesel is actually eliminated. But here is always the sporty note considered good. I would like to hear the 2.5l petrol, but here the automatic is slower than the manual circuit and overall very sluggish from the information, also the top speed is rather modest. That I don’t get the values with an SUV like with my VW 7ner GTI is logical, but over 9seconds for 100km/h and just around the 200km/h peak I don’t think exactly for almost 200hp. Also one reads again and again that the automatic should be very sluggish. Therefore my question, on which engine should I concentrate to achieve the maximum sportiness, with the sporty looking CX5. Here is the manual circuit really better than the automatic, which I actually wanted.

  • CX-5 2014: What are you looking at when buying second-hand?

    Hello together I’m currently driving a Ford Mondeo Hybrid. Do of course this one can only pull 750kg and therefore want to change, because I would like to pull a boat trailer (1.8 tons). I have a CX-5 from 11.2014 on the radar with 84,000 kilometers. The price is very interesting. 2.2 liters diesel, 6-speed manual gear, leather equipment etc. detachable trailer coupling (apparently only needed for bicycle transport). celift or the predecessor model? What do I have to pay attention to when viewing? Where are the vulnerabilities? I didn’t find out quickly whether belts or chain… It’s about this vehicle here (no idea if I can set ads)https://www.autoscout24.ch/…/…cx-5-22-d-hp-revolution-awd-116186

  • Service and inspection costs for CX-5 / CX-60

    Hello to the forum, at the moment we drive a W213, 350d as a motorhome and a Hyundai Santa Fe 2.2 CRDi, as a towing vehicle for the horse trailer. At the end of the year, the Santa Fe, after about 5 years of faithful service and almost 200000km, is to be replaced. Therefore, we are looking for suitable candidates. Thus the CX-60, D254 falls into the narrow selection, as the new engine at Mazda is simply more viable than the current motorization at Hyundai and Kia. (Santa Fe) / Sorento). And if we decide on the CX-60 and it drives as well in everyday life as with the test drives, then the CX-60 should replace the Benz, in a short time, also completely. For this reason I am also interested in the maintenance costs of the CX-60 with regard to service or inspection. Since the CX-60 is even more short on the market, information about the CX-5, as a rough guide value, is very welcome. I thank you already in advance for your efforts and Perhaps this thread will also serve here in the future to share one’s own experiences, about the amount and development, of costs in service or inspections of the CX-60, as information?
