Thank you for fixing our car David. As David said we went to some local garages, which were not able to help us. Then we started looking online and found David’s RUclips channel. David was very helpful from the first conversation we had . We drove almost 2h to the garage and it was the best decision we had made. David and his team were super helpful and very patiently explained every step they are going to take to fix the car. We were even offered to be taken to and from the train station by his lovely girlfriend. We had great experience and so far we are super happy with the car. It drives very nicely and it feels like driving a brand new vehicle. We were also given one year warranty, which is great! Thank you David and your team.
I used to go by the same as many people service history, low mileage, main dealer yada yada yada but after watching your videos and seen your work, I've completely lost faith in main dealers, Halfords/Kwikfit and all others. Main dealer service include only the oil/filter change plus the visual inspection of the exterior and after they hand you that check list and make you pay for the parts that you don't really need or need replacing. I have wasted enough money on those pointless services and I can confidently say that they don't go even an inch further or deeper like you do. They never open the top to check the key components that are likely to go wrong let alone making customers aware of any potential issue. What you guys do is pure quality and attention to detail which I haven't seen anywhere else so stay honest (which is very rare these days) and keep up the good work
My Mazda dealer like most other car dealers fits your description. Whenever I take my car in for a service, they just do the bare minimum and charge you an arm and a leg. Even when they're up to their necks in work they always manage to slot in a scheduled service because it's their bread and butter, all they really do is change the oil and filter. As long as the car isn't throwing any codes, they will never take any preventative action. During an open day at my local dealership I asked the owner what the point was of having my car serviced by him when all they do is change the oil. His answer surprised me in its honesty. It's an insurance policy he said. If your car is dealer serviced you benefit from that extra bit of security if something goes wrong even after the warranty period. He has forced Mazda to replace engines with over 100K miles because the car had a full service history.
@michaeldee3380 Yes you're right. If you're disciplined and loyal enough to have every single service done by them then you have every right to march in there and demand the refund, replacement etc because the car has been in one hand the entire time and they're liable for anything that goes wrong but I don't think they'd honour such demands if you missed the service in between or went to the third party Halfords etc like me. But to be fair, all main dealers are bastards so it's not just Mazda. The thing that David mentioned in the video passion and treating something like it's your own is not found in many mechanics these days
@@TalDarkLeanMean Absolutely. Dealer serviced in the end doesn't mean a great deal. It's a way to extort money from the unsuspecting customer, but if something goes horribly wrong, you at least have some means of recourse, provided of course you didn't skip a service. Mechanics have a bit of an ungrateful job in that they seldom get to interact with the customer, so it's not surprising that they do not take more pride in their work. On the topic of buying a used car, mine, a Mazda 6 2.2D had a series of issues, thankfully most were covered under warranty. However, they never took preemptive action and just fixed whatever problem I had as and when it occurred. My air intake was already severely clogged when I bought the car, but they never offered a carbon clean. I ended up paying for it out of pocket when the car broke down on holiday in Spain after the warranty period had already expired.
@@michaeldee3380 That is exactly my grief with them and it still makes my blood boil thinking that why they never checked the key components and told me to have the carbon cleaning done, camshaft and injectors replace and few other things that they should've known are the issue in this generation of diesels (2014-2019). You'd think that when you're taking your car to the main dealer and paying more than twice for the same oil/filter, they'd at least check these things let alone fixing them.
Such a shame for the 2.2 skyactivD. Pulls like a train but not the most reliable. I had a 2015 Mazda 6 with diesel. Serviced every 6k miles and over 60% of driving was motorway. No issues until around 60k , all sorts of warnings in the dash. When I realised how sensitive that engine is I swapped the car at 72k for a petrol mazda. I reckon I dodged a bullet . I love mazda but I will not touch a diesel. 2.0 petrol is perfect. Now I'm at the 3rd mazda with a petrol engine. Still charging oil and filter every 6k miles.
my 2015 CX5 i got rid of when my dash lights illuminated like a xmas tree ...2.2d and had done 60,000...serviced yearly but because i did short journeys the DPF filter kept blocking !! had numerous people clean it but still had issues so decided to get rid and bought a puma 1.5 petrol which is amazing!!
@@kirkenesnorway121It's a game of Russian roulette with the 2.2d diesel. If you use the car exclusively for motorway driving with very little start-stops, your car may have a long trouble-free life provided you change the oil every 6,000 miles, change the injector washers every 60K miles, and have it carbon cleaned.
So glad my injectors weren't blowing out,that's a right mess,still need new camshaft though,how many tappets and rockers need changing as a minimum please,great videos as usual,full of detail😊
Hi you have some great content. I have just done a carbon clean on my 2014 cx5 in New Zealand. I brought an xtool scan tool $1400nz but it seems to have limited functions on live data for mazda cx5 I can't see oil pressure or dpf pressure . What scan tool do u use for the cx5 ?Thanks
Use a phone app called forscan with a bluetooth OBD transmitter. Google forscan and thier website has all the information you need. It does all the live data.
I have scanned it and all I have seen is difference between required and actual manifold pressure. It is about 40 kpa difference as per scan tool. I had a lot problem recently. High soot and it has gone after long highway run . I suspect intake manifold and Injectors. Injectors if are bad can give me all the problems?Manifold was cleaned 60000 km ago . As I can see exhaust is high but why? What can block DPF? Not enough air and bad Injectors. Even when you look at them correction factors are fine. I have tried calibrate them and made it on 5. Attempt. As I am engineer all i telling me that it is Injectors are breaking my balls?What do you think?
Would you be so kind and tel me what should be pressur on exaust sensor on the Idle?I have 100kpa, 1Bar. Diferential on DPF is 1 kpa. It is breaking my balls🙈

WOW :D
That's impressive ;P

I have been thinking about purchasing a nearly new CX30. I guess petrol is the way to go .
Yes. Don't buy a Mazda with a diesel engine. I don't know much about the 1.5l diesel engines, but keep away from the 2.2l.

100% correct, Marketplace can bite you in the ass if you don't follow this simple process.
Jeez are those camshafts made of chocolate.

I have been listening to
You saying that camshaft has something to do with EGR? This camshaft lobes are just for cold areas? Please advise .

What is the condition of the turbo ?
Excellent video!
Someone didn't change the oil at this car! Go max 5000-6000km or 4000miles maybe that helps save it and keep it clean.
Would you be so kind and tel me what should be pressur on exaust sensor on the Idle?I have 100kpa, 1Bar. Diferential on DPF is 1 kpa. It is breaking my balls🙈
I wont touch a mazda skyactiv after watching your vids.
Diesel is big problem
