Mazda 6 2009 FAQs

Mazda 6 2009: Design fault in diesel engine?

There have been reports of problems with the CX-5 and some other Mazda models of fuel contaminating the engine oil through the DPF filter. Mazda claim to have a fix for that problem. I would check with your Mazda dealer so see if your car is one of those affected.

Mazda's different drum

MANY people complained of the same noise on the Mazda3. In that case little could be done to fix it. A change of tyres might make a small difference, but it's an expensive exercise. There's nothing wrong with the Bridgestones. They're good tyres.

Timing belts

MANY cars have chains instead of belts, and carmakers seem to be returning to chains after many years during which they preferred belts. Belts were introduced because they cost less than chains. They are also quieter than a chain, which can be quite noisy as it wears. As to why it isn't mentioned in road test reports, I can only say it is a little too technical for most readers. They are more interested in how a car performs when put to the test. It is the sort of detail the buyer should check before settling on a new car.
