Re: Intermittent Spanner Light

Thanks for the replies average journey time is approx 30 minutes. Of what sort of driving?? Stop-start slow city or motorway? Makes a difference! Mostly urban at about 10 miles with weekend motorway journeys However, it’s not the dpf as a regen cycle kicks in when required, and I’ve had no problems...

Re: Intermittent Spanner Light

Thanks for the replies

I’ve had the car looked at by Mazda and they did not report any findings but advised they ran the engine at a certain RPM for a given time (fob off or checking DPF). T...

Is this typical in UK winter?

Re: Diesel in Engine Oil

Thanks for the updates. I’ve noticed the DPF regen, it’s done it on most diesels I’ve driven but I’ve never had any with oil issues like this. As you say, they’ve replaced the injectors {apparently} which caused me to have some concerns as to whether they’ve fixed the problem or cured the symptoms. ...

Diesel in Engine Oil

Gents I purchased a 15 plate CX3 about 6 months ago and the spanner began to come on intermittently a long time before its next service is due. Having taken it in to the dealer, it was found the oil level was at ‘x’ and there fore replaced with all 4 injectors replaced due to working incorrectly ; s...

Re: Kill the damn traffic announcements!

Never mind, I finally found it!

I generally listen to Bluetooth music and thus the TA option wasn't showing. In any case it was red, which as mentioned above, means turned on

Re: Kill the damn traffic announcements!

I've just picked up a 2015 Sport Nav and love it, but I can't for the life of me find the TA icon to switch them off; which root menu is it under?
