Mazda questions we answer every week
Straight answers from our techs
Why is my Mazda CX-9 losing coolant?
The 3.7L V6 in 2007–2015 CX-9s has an internal water pump driven by the timing chain. When it fails, coolant can leak into the oil and destroy the engine.
Warning signs
Coolant loss with no visible leak · Milky oil · Overheating
What we do
We test for internal leakage and, when needed, replace the water pump with the timing chain components.
Colorado Springs: If your CX-9 is losing coolant with no puddle, stop and have it checked.
Why is my CX-7 turbo failing?
The 2.3L turbo in the CX-7 is known for turbo failures and timing chain wear, often made worse by long oil change intervals.
Warning signs
Loss of power · Blue smoke · Whistling · Check engine light
What we do
We diagnose the turbo and timing system and repair what's failing.
Why won't my RX-8 start?
RX-8 rotary engines can flood if shut off cold, and low compression from worn apex seals makes them hard to start.
Warning signs
Won't start warm or cold · Rough idle · Loss of power
What we do
We test compression and the ignition system to find the cause.
Why does my Mazda vibrate at idle?
A vibration at idle or a clunk on takeoff is often worn motor mounts on older Mazda3s and Mazda6s.
Warning signs
Vibration at idle · Clunk on takeoff
What we do
We inspect the mounts and replace the worn ones.
Are newer SkyActiv Mazdas reliable?
Generally yes. SkyActiv engines from 2013 on are durable when oil changes are kept up.
What to watch
Oil change intervals · Brake wear · Tire wear
What we do
We follow Mazda's maintenance schedule and inspect everything at each visit.
