Wait for higher mileage to come, in Taiwan Mazda pull out all diesel models as they encounter big issue there that the car buyers staged protest like those of VW owners in Malaysia. Protest kaw kaw in front of Mazda HQ in Taipei.

Yes, still new. Those that are driving in mostly start stop city urban could likely face issue earlier.

All skyactiv gearbox sama je....

Pandai pandai, latest at year 5, at least request drain and fill transmission fluid. Less than RM200 job. No such thing as lifetime, unless the lifetime is 5 year max, within those lease period of 3-4 years in western markets.

On the side note, a lot of more recent models opt for "sealed lifetime" style, not limited to mazda. So again, pandai pandai....

I read that before issue last year, hopefully the same one you're referring to. The details seemed to relate to engine oil dilution issue, causing sub optimal lubrication and ultimately failing some engines.

Diesel engines with DPF never meant for dense urban environment with lots of start stops, where the DPF can't reach optimal operating temperature. Optimal at long distance cruising. If no DPF, no need worry.

I'm not advocating to remove DPF, because it really works trapping alot of the soot/crap from diesel exhaust fumes. But really, understand how the system works and evaluate against own driving situation. For dense urban driving, please understand the risks, if not get regular petrol.

(ah well, in the near future will have PPF, petrol particulate filters, some new models of european marque already has them in their home markets....)

Hence, again, i stress, those with diesel dpf engines, always check your engine oil dipstick monthly. If reached top most max line, get your engine oil replaced. This is a must basic that i don't know whether bermaz educate their skyactiv diesel customer or not. Don't wait till got dashboard light or error message baru pergi check.

Agreed that no gb can survive for seal for live method. Unless the European do design their car to run max until 150k km only? Then good to go. Here 150k km are at 5th to 7th year life of car, with mostly yet to settle for loan.

Btw mazda bermaz prefer to sell the fuel cleaner than any permanent fix. Resolve the GDI carbon deposit by ask customer to pay for fuel additive bottles where technically we know it doesn't work that way.

The only method for GDI carbon deposit is to physically clean it out, either brush or walnut shell blasting.

Pretty much all car make with GDI don't offer a physical solution other than you go outside workshop to do. Only VW, quite "pioneering" to offer walnut blasting as an official optional maintenance item in malaysia. Quite worth it for the price, their engine damn leceh to disassemble to reach the intake ports.

Do you pile on mileage ?

If only all manufacturers copy the toyota dual port & direct injection type in engine, we consumer no need to spend extra money for this cleaning matters.

somewhat true, but hor, additional cost for at least another set of injectors, fuel pump, fuel pressure sensor and fuel rails. Some more the added complexity of the tune of an additional set of injection cycle, so more $$ demanded from buyers.

malaysians kedekut la....

ok, still nice car to own anyway

Whats the official price on cx8?

Quite good last row space, my wife would be bugging me liao

Pity no 3rd-row a/c vents although the middle row a/c buttons are more atas than CX-5.
To those who want to maximise the seating space, can only get the 7-seater in the lowest specs

Ford powershift dry clutch was originally intended as seal type....no need to change until reports of gearbox issues started to emerge..then they issued s tsb for oil change requirement


Oh well....time will tell

Mazda Australia will recall more than 35,000 versions of the Mazda 3, 6 and CX-5 over several issues that could cause engine failure in some circumstances.

All affected models were sold between 2012 and 2018 and are equipped with a diesel engine.


The problems stem from a build-up of carbon deposits and premature wear of certain engine components.

There are wide-ranging symptoms that can affect the vehicle’s performance which can increase the risk of an accident and injury to the driver and other road users.

Some of the issues include a gradual drop in power, multiple dashboard warning lights, increased braking distance, a stalled engine that fails to restart and smoke coming from the engine bay.

The key is they don't have euro 5 diesel prior to November 1, 2016.

Nothing weird for GDI engine which will suffer with carbon deposit problem after long mileage.

Just send workshop for engine cleaning etc.

oh shit, mazda diesel for sale , PM for details
