Which VF SS OTR CAI is best ?

[Mattricho]

Engine rattle must have been to must for him lol maybe you should get the OTR first to drown it out lol

If not a rude question. Why?

Never fell in love with it....
Simple as that...
Maybe I am just getting old and boring...

On another level...2 oil leaks, coolant leak, and the engine sounding like diesel every morning just make it worse...
Horrible experiences with 2 dealerships also did not help...
It all adds up

Don't buy a Mazda CX5 2.2L diesel. Absolute lemons!!! I hope your Mazda 6 is a good thing. Sad to see you leave the fray Ron.

No diesels and no SUV..that's for sure...
It's not happening right now but as soon as the warranty is out it will be time to do it...

Don’t worry Ron, she still under warranty so press HCC to get her fixed. She may come good and you could fall in love again

Something about Mazda remember all the smokey 323s going around, they are popular as a new car but would avoid as a 2nd hand jobby. Friends have had several issues with there cx5 petrol(gutless)

Yeah, don’t buy a modern diesel as short trips kill the DPF in many brands and they are expensive little buggers to replace.

And from what I’ve recently read, in the case of Mazda CX-5, they also suffer diesel oil dilution due to injecting more fuel when idling and exhaust port are open. This is done to try and keep the DPF hot but some fuel also leaks (presumably past rings) into sump diluting the oil. It was supposedly fixed by software change. Sadly for many owners the consequence of this oil dilution was lots of mechanical problems (failed turbos @ $6k to fix as well as other issues) due to oil not being able to do its primary task of lubricating and keeping metal parts separated. For Mazda this meant lots of engine replacements for cars both within and outside warranty.

For many brands of modern diesels, it seems they simply do not cope well with lots of short trips which then begs the question whether the they are ‘of acceptable quality’, especially if one mentiond their intended drive habits at time of purchase? I’d say they are not.

So we should all avoid headaches and stick with petrol

Apart from trucks and towing diesel is done, it's cost, servicing, emissions and generally unreliably dfp ad blue setups make the turbo petrol a far cheaper better alternative.
