    5spd Protege5 Transmission slack/clunk

    By tombom292

    Hey all. I have a 2003 Protege5, with a 5 speed, and I'm having an issue that feels like something is really loose in the driveline somewhere. Basically, on and off throttle I can feel a thump and see the tach bounce, it feels like there's a ton of slack inside the transmission. It's difficult to describe, so attached are some videos I took of what's happening. I've already replaced motor mounts with nice AWR ones since I thought that's what it was, that did nothing. CVs look fine, I don't... Read more

    2003 Protege LX Air Conditioning glitch

    By LXbeaterGUY

    I did a search and found a few related posts but they reference forums ("How To") that no longer exist or have dead links. My problem just started. The AC light on the button only comes on briefly then turns off. It'll come on briefly on its own then turn off again. It finally came on when I adjusted my fan speed but flashed on and off between settings. It eventually started working normally. From what I could gather this is a known glitch the appears to be switch panel related. Anyone... Read more

    CX-5 Rear Differential Failure

    By n0m0remazda

    Why would anyone want to stay with Mazda when rear differential is a common issue at under 100k miles, and the cost of replacement on average is $5500, never mind other accruing expenses? The response from corporate is beyond irresponsible.

    CX-5 Rear brakes seemed to lockup while going downhill

    By PNWnorth129

    Hi everyone, I have 2016 CX-5 Touring. I attached 1 photo of each rear rotor (the one with deep scoring is right rear). Here is a timeline including more details: I got all new brake pads and rotors on all 4 wheels about 7000 miles ago. Duralast elite brake pads and Duralast rotors. Drove across the country a few months later. This past weekend I was driving up high elevation (10000ft), and going downhill for multiple minutes. I probably had my foot lightly on the brake...

    Your Best Defensive Driving Tips?

    By dill chips

    Defensive driving involves a set of strategies and techniques focused on anticipating potential hazard and preventing accidents, even if other drivers are making mistakes. I'll get the ball rolling. My most important focus is to maintain about 6-8 car length following distance when travelling at 80km/h or faster. This helps me stay prepared for potential slow downs, especially if they are sudden or drastic. What's yours?

    FORScan on CX-5 – can it configure/aim a replacement Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)?

    By Amaurysmate

    2021 CX-5 Grand Touring AWD (gas), VIN JM3KFBDM4M0489113. The original FSC was stolen and I installed a replacement (GSH7-67XCX rev U). Scan tool shows U2100:00-0A (Initial Configuration Not Complete) and B115E:54-0A (Camera Module). Screenshot attached. I'm considering buying an OBDLink EX and using FORScan instead of paying a shop. Has anyone with a 2019+ CX-5 (ideally 2021) done this? 1. Does FORScan see the FSC module on a 2021 CX-5 and let you read/write its as-built data? 2. Is... Read more

    By charlmarie

    My Mazda5 venture edition 7 seater 62 plate. 2 litre petrol manual have had a problem with loosing water recently. I've had someone take a look at it and they have sent this photo of a pipe with a pinhole where the water is coming out. My water empties completely it's been pressure tested and then have to fill it back up with water from the cap by radiator. My mechanic said he needs to trace where this pipe goes and basically inlet and fuel rail etc have to be taken apart to get to it... Read more
