Hey diesel owners. So after the relevant recall on the throttle body (intake shutter valve) I decided to check for any carbon deposits and I run into an issue. i cannot remove the hose from the intercooler to the intake shutter valve. I have to somehow unlock this thing. Anyone know how this...

I have just received a recall letter from the Dutch Mazda Importer. Apparently, there is a problem with the Air Inlet Valve. This can jam due to a build-up of soot and not function correctly. In some cases, the Engine Problem light illuminates and the valve goes to the open position due to the...

The 2019 New York International Auto Show is over and this year it had a lot of spectacular car debuts, along with some long-awaited releases and 2019 Mazda CX-5 Diesel is one of them. 7 years after Mazda first promised an oil-burner for the US market, it's finally here. This new crossover...

Hello! I’m in the UK and am looking to pick up a 2016 registered Mazda 3 and am struggling with the choice between the 2.2 Diesel (148bhp) and the 2.0 Petrol (118bhp) - both with around 20k miles / 32k kilometres on the clock. Obviously the 0-60 acceleration and MPG economy are much better on...

I’m thinking of buying a Mazda 3 2.2 diesel skyactiv, what are they like ? Any engine problems ?

I have just received a recall letter from the Dutch Mazda Importer. Apparently, there is a problem with the control unit for the injectors which can cause a short circuit in the injector circuit, which can cause the engine to stop. This can be fixed via a software update. At the same time, they...

I've noticed it last winter. Not sure if it is related to the colder weather or something else - but occasionally, especially when the engine is cold (sub zero temps during winter) it shifts into second gear a bit harsher than into other gears. Not nearly as bad as if you try to shift back to...

Hi all, I bought last year a used Mazda BM 2.2 Diesel Automatic 11/13. With the car so far am really happy, I have though an issue/question. I think that this car consumes a lot and I sadly don't know how to compare it with the "normal consumption" that this har should have. If I drive highway...

Guys im in the look for a used Mazda 3 2014 and i am considering the Skyactive-D 2.2L. Can you share your experience so far in terms of maintenance and reliability since its been 3years that the car is on the road? I was shocked while discovering all those issues with the older 2.2L diesel...

About two years ago I traded in my faithful old petrol Mazda 3 for a brand new Mazda 3 Skyactiv 2.2 diesel. After 30k miles on the clock I'm getting close to the end of my PCP and warranty. I scoured the web for information on looking after a diesel with a DPF. I checked my user manual, and...

Hey everyone I can't find part number for drain plug washer for my 2016 diesel engine (CX-5 2,2) I'm even unsure if drain plug washer really needs to be changed for these engines ? Does anyone knows anything about that ? Thanks !!!

Which country make mazda 3 engine 1.6 diesel Launch X431 CR-HD?

Hi all, What is the general consensus on tuning chips? Are they worth the £300-400 to actually save fuel, but increase performance? Do they actually work and has anyone tested one on the 2014 Mazda 3 2.2d? They seem to suggest no trace would be found if removed so the manufacturer would never...

I'm a disgruntled owner of a VW diesel Sportwagen. Actually I was very happy before Deiselgate. It had great low end torque and 40mpg plus on the highway. Sadly, it was too good to be true. So I'm waiting to see what VW is going to do for us folks they cheated. I'm assuming their fix will...

Was somewhat surprised (and intrigued) to see a very brief mention of Mazda's development of a (turbo)diesel power unit for the US mkt in this article: Doonan (Mazda): ?We Want to Plan to the 2017 LMP2 Regulations? - Sportscar365 Has any else heard about this possibility? I know the 2.2...

Hi everyone, I'm from Barcelona and I recently purchased my 2014 Mazda 3 sedan in deep crystal blue. It's got a 2.2L diesel engine with 150hp and really really good acceleration (torque 380 Nm) It drives very well and I thought I could share some consumption data with you. I'm averaging 4.5...
