Folks, I have CX-30 2023. Manual recommends to use Sport mode only temporarily in cases driving some conditions. The car is OK for me but I don’t feel it’s very responsive to acceleration and usage of Sport mode fits me better. Hence, could I switch to this mode all the time instead of default? Any negative impact on engine? Thanks ..read more

Hi guys/ gals - first post here. My son’s P5 has brake and ABS light on all the time. Local shop says it needs a module as all circuits to wheel sensors check out fine and we can read the speeds on the scanner. Anyone have this issue before? Another issue is Auto - transmission hard shifting from park to D on initial startup. Then runs fine typically. AT light illuminates all the time. Have had tranny recently serviced with filter change and new gasket ..read more

Hello everyone. I'm new to this forum and have a question about the car I just bought. Two weeks ago I bought a 2021 CX-30 and noticed on the back it reads Skyactiv "G". What does the "G" mean? Heck, I don't even know what SkyActiv is. The 2012 Mazda 3 I traded in was not Skyactive, so I'm really in the dark. Google really didn't help. If anyone can explain this is simple terms I would appreciate it very much ..read more

No noticeable symptoms for this 2015 Mazda 3 four-door sedan yet the engine light stays on. Supposedly some type of fuel or fuel vapor leak. I have changed gas cap as cheap, but light has not gone off after driving about 10 miles. Anything else owner can check easily? What is usually wrong when you get this code; Advance Auto ran the scanner for me ..read more

Hello all, I am hoping someone can help with this issue I am having. My 2016 CX-5 started doing the Mazda logo loop thing..... just keeps rebooting to the logo, off, logo and wouldn't startup. The car would start, backup camera works, radio would work, but stuck on the one station. So after some research I read that this is a pretty common issue with these years. So I watched some YouTube videos and reading and went with trying it myself and bought the CH341A programmer and 16 to 8 clip and was able to flash my bios chip and get things reborn. So after installing the infotainment system back i ..read more

It seems to have had regular oil changes since and now has 20,000 miles. Should I have any concerns buying the car as the first oil change was not done until almost 9000 miles ..read more

Hi there. About three years ago I had the EGR valve on my mazda atenza 2005 cleaned as the check engine light came on. About a year ago the check engine light came on again and it was an EGR fault. The driving has never been affected by this fault. The diagnostic guy reset the computer and the check engine light turned off, he said it wasn't a biggy and could think about replacing it or leave it. About three weeks ago the check engine light came on again and the diagnostic showed the EGR fault again. A week ago the check engine light turned itself off. I took it to the mechanic and he said it ..read more

Hi all- Yes I am a newbie here so go easy okay :rolleyes:.....So I just replaced the coils and plugs on my '04 Mazda 6 Sport Wagon. (I suddenly started getting a blinking CEL with a P0302 while driving on freeway but engine was running smooth) I replaced the plenum gasket set and sprayed out the throttle body. Also replaced the air hose as I cracked the small tube for the crankcase ventilation on the air hose. Everything back together and engine is running with no codes. I noticed in the Haynes manual that when the battery has been disconnected and the intake manifold removed and replaced that ..read more
