Mazda CX-5

[falken]

Hello, Tsikoteers! Just got a 2012 to replace my coding car, got a good deal but needs a bit of work (engine support, gaskets, etc). I'm from QC, any recommended shops/mechanics and parts suppliers? Willing to drive over to Banawe. Thanks in advance!

On parts, compare always w/ Golden Isuzu(Mike Chan +639178312476). He's pretty active in Mazda groups.

Great thing about Mazdas 2014up is its global architecture platform. My go-to US site is tascaparts.

Credit to Sir Travs.

Hi everyone!

Just got a 2nd hand 2015 CX-5 and I am expecting that the battery will need to be changed soon. May I know what battery do you use and how’s the performance?

I think mine currently has a Motolite Excel installed, anybody using this too and would you suggest that I just install the same?

I manually disable the i-Stop feature before each drive.

Also, do battery dealers know how to deal with the i-Stop feature reset upon battery replacement? I’ve been reading some posts about it, but I am not confident doing it on my own.

Thanks!

I only have a 1.5 Mazda 3 so no istop. Other members in the club who have istop swear by Amaron.

Hi sir, are these only sold in casa? Or do i have options to buy from outside sellers (including install and whatever i-Stop system setup that needs to be done)? Expensive daw kasi sa casa. Btw, mine has the 2.0 engine and I dont use i-Stop. Thanks!

These are available outside. No need to get from casa.

Looking at the FB Marketplace pages, it seems used 2020 and up CX-5's, CX-8's, and CX-9's are priced quite closely together (1.3M to 1.5M). Might be a better deal than buying a brand new PPV-type SUV.

[dr. d]

when used vehicles are being sold with similar pricing,
when their price differences were more pronounced when new,
i ask, "why?"
is it the expected trend among used crs?
or is there something else, that causes the price difference to be smaller, vis a vis, brand new prices' difference?

Most people who buy used vehicles are on a budget ... that's why they're not buying brand new ... so higher end models tend to have lower percentage resale value ... like Honda City vs Honda Civic vs Honda Accord ... also consider that most higher model vehicles have larger engines which consume more fuel and require more maintenance ... not what budget conscious buyers are looking for ... more prevalent if it's a niche brand ... unless it's a Toyota ...

Will CarPlay wireless work if i updated my firmware and use those shopee wireless dongles? Or do I need the retrofit kit to plug the dongle into?

You still need the retrofit kit.

Thanks for the reply. Really thought I found a solution😅

There is a Type-C/wireless kit available. Just a bit more expensive than the original all Type-A.

Go for Varta. Mine's already 2 years so far so good.

Just search at Facebook for stores.

Hi, anybody experiencing smelling fuel when the engine has just been turned on and also just after it has been turned off? I have a 2018 Mazda CX-5 Sport. And is there a Mazda expert shop which can be an alternative to Mazda casa? Thanks!

Do you fill your fuel tank to the brim?

No, I always fill up until automatic stop only. But this occurs even when not in full tank.

I had it checked at Mazda and they said that the fuel canister needs to be replaced. They said this happened to some of their customers too.

But i find their cost estimate a bit steep so I'm also looking for alternative Mazda specialists that can do it for a lower price.

The reason I asked is because there was a recent discussion on another thread.

FULL TANK: Top it or Auto-click it?

Maybe the other Mazda owners here can chime in.

Welcome to Tsikot.
