Interesting system you have put there. I do wonder if the car now deliberately loses power to cool itself when the temperature increases, how does this impact the cars ability to accelerate especially on the highway when one may want to overtake. Does this system not put the driver at risk of not overtaking quickly enough if the cooling system kicks in at that point???

That’s a smart question there. We thought hard about this. After discovering the 7 degree issue we could either make the car shut off when temps threaten damaging engine or derate power for brief moment as it cools. We saw that it would be dangerous to shut off as the driver could be in the situation you said above or when you are in a bad neighborhood. We saw better to make it run the fans hard first then de-rate power. Acceleration will still be there but it will be reduced by a factor. With that engine de-rate and fans aggressively running temps drop even during acceleration. You can see from demo above that you still have acceleration. It wont be as hard thats all. Would you still want to accelerate hard when after that pull your engine becomes toast?

Hello gus, I need you help. I pickup de head gasket replacement gasket after that not work.

There is a TSB for this, its on pre mid 2020 cx9s too, on the turbo 2.5L engine not an issue on the non turbo or the 2.0

Cut to the chase bro! Thanks for the info

Is this problem only on cars from Japan the second hand ones, what about the new generation 2020- 2023 models from South Africa do they get affected also

Thanks for the video

so is there need to put bypass pipe?

How do I learn to build or tune cars in zimbabwe? Want to work on sleepers, please make a video on that

Is this issue also common other Mazdas like the CX3 and Atenza?

Hi...can this system be used on makes of vehicles?

Hellow DPF team, on your video you just insist that we should use coolant and damp it right away, the question these car came with their own coolant type which is FL22. Then what will be the compatible coolant that will be matching the FL22, especially for the owner's around in Africa?

Great video. Is this implemented via remap?

Ok im to put in an oem coolajt sensir had my gead skimmed oressure tested but dont hear fans kicking in so ill get this oem sensor in car and hooe it helps fans kick in . Ive tested fans with 12v and they work

I just bought 23 CX5 and have taken to have thermostat issue fixed..whats next

The Mazda axela 2015-18 has the same sky active engine. It also doesn't have a water temp gauge. Mine was a hybrid and that car gave me chills, I sold it very fast before the battery or cooling system started giving me issues.

My 2021 turbo cx5 has a temperature gauge...so did my 2018 non turbo cx5. I've been all over with videos for this vehicle.never seen any type of cooling issue. Is this mainly Zimbabwe cx5s?

Very common occurrence here. 2017 and prior do not have temp gauge. A lot of cx5 diesel owners are on 2nd engines.

I have a 2019 cx5 touring. Non turbo. It has 129k miles and I haven’t flushed the coolant yet. But today the check engine light came on it started overheating. Only reason I caught it was because I heard both fans o and it was between 210 degrees and 260 degrees! I let it cool down, checked for leaks. The coolant in the reservoir was below the “L” mark. So after it cooled down I went to auto parts store and Grabbed Peak 50/50. The cx5 took half of the gallon of antifreeze. I started driving it again and it eventually started going above 210 degrees. I turned the heat at max and blowing at max and it went down to just before 210 degrees. This cx5 has been awesome. It’s awesome! Unstoppable in mud, sand, snow. It’s just been solid. Except for this now. Check engine light and overheating

Many of the reasons why cars overheat is because of a bad thermostat

My 2018 cx5 temp is just below 210 which is almost in the middle of the meter, What's the normal temp when your car is normal?

@@Btu555diesels play between 86C to 93C anything above 102C is not good and usually never comes down. In fact it’s a sign of trouble. You can convert C to F since you work in imperial

I have the same car, from 2016 diesel with DPF a I don't have this issue. You should find the root cause, maybe the coolant valve or you have the carbon build up in the intake...

What really causes specifically the sky-active motor to overheat so easily besides antifreeze factors? Does it mean that mazda failed to engineer their cooling system or what?

Not the best coolant, not the best brake fluid. Very good engine oil. I measured it with gages and its barely above boiling after couple of years.

Your gasket is likely already gone. Do a head job.

What was the origin of those spills? Where was the coolant leaking from?

In my country, by passing the fans to continue spinning and removing the thermostat kinda helps that way the coolant will be as cool as possible for the engine.

That is not a solution. The engine will not get up-to temp affecting performance and fuel consumption.

If it’s 2015 and younger , you are fine but from 2018 to present, the turbo models are blowing head gaskets and cold plugs leaking .

We are seeing that issue mostly on 2017 and younger. Only Diesel models. Maybe this is because we have more diesels than petrols here

Well, 99% of people who own these cars in my country are not under warranty. Unfortunately. So this video is to provide them with tips that can help them keep the car reliably for longer, especially our customers subscribed to this channel

Looks like the solution goes beyond the problem. The issue here is low coolant levels resulting in overheating. An aftermarket coolant level indicator would work just fine. Most older cars used to have them. Otherwise you really cannot help a person who cannot understand that checking coolant levels every weekend or so will save them a new engine.

White causes the car to periodically to produce white smoke?

@sulemartinez9762

typically that's from coolant getting into your exhaust system, meaning you may have a leak somewhere internally. is it a thicket white smoke?

In my mind, this seems like a temporary fix. This isn't how the vehicle should work, so I think it's better to take it to a certified mechanic, find the root of the problem that is causing the over heating, then have it fixed
