thanks for this very clear and helpful video, I'am tackling this DIY pretty soon as I have a japannese market impo 2015 DJ Demio Diesel 1.5 Skyactive. I'm looking for the part numbers for both belts if someone has the oem system available please will be helpful thanks again keep rollin'

With shops and mechanics trying to upsell and rip off unsuspecting people so often, its nice to get an idea of what needs to be done so you can either do it yourself or decide if their quote is reasonable or not. I appreciate you taking the time to do this. Liked, subscribed, and commented. I hope your channel grows and you are able to profit from it. It's time consuming to put video content together and not enough people show their appreciation.

Thanks for the video. Good explanation

I can hear the bearings

Most of the fans are 3 speed.. just look at the motor name plate. If it’s 3 speed motor but marketed as a 2 or 1 speed pull the conduit gently away from the fan. Run new wire off the deadheaded ones and get the 3 speed RF controller. Hook up is very easy!!! The RF controller is worth the $125

So what was the problem?Ac clutch?

Amazing demonstration with a great explanation on each step! thank you!

Looks good, saves all that water on the boots .

Is this on a 2017+

What year

Can you answer my question? How do you tighten a screw?

If Mazda dealer techs were trained on this video, some damage could be avoided. The factory service documentation is not as detailed as this.

Very helpful. I’ve putting this off for a long time and I can tell it’s affecting my AC.

Thank you!!!! I did EXACTLY what you did. I was stuck with the same wrench setup too which is what made this vid so helpful.

What lube

Lower tensioner bolt broke recently after replacing the tensioner a couple weeks prior. Tried to drill into it (after drilling a 1" access hole into the frame) and use an extractor only for the extractor to break too D: Not sure what my luck would be trying to drill out the broken extractor + bolt again. Starting to wonder if it would be better to drill a larger hole into the sideways insertion channel and use a heavy duty threaded bolt sleeve + a shorter bolt. Accessing the bolt from the side isn't a problem with a hole in the frame.

Ty so much!

Alternator clutch has gone bad

Dumb q, I'm just replacing the serpentine, so do i need to mess with the water pump belt at all or can i just skip straight to the tensioner?

Brother thank you so much for this

Great video!

Nice

Wow. I was quoted $700 to fix this issue last week. Time to get past the fear & become an amateur “KZfaq mechanic.” You’re a freaking legend, thank you!

Thank you for this tutorial. I just replaced thermostat, radiator and two big cooling hoses in 2017 CX-5.

Great video, well lit, and you dealt with all the detail so literally anyone could or at least try to do this job. Thank you....

Did you prime the new tensioner? Mine came with explicit instructions to pump it 5 times slowly after torquing the bolts.

The pump is just useless unless you seal the screw, which I don’t want to do. I ended up pressing the brake pedal, much easier.

Is it repairable i mean tensioner there is only spring inside?

Any other suggestions for jack stand locations when lifting up the front? I recently had to get a new wishbone fitted, I suspect this could have been damaged when i lifted it and put a stand under there a few months back

I dont like to put teflon on a good thread lol that just me

The shroud they sent me doesn’t fit, when I put the side pieces in. The shifters won’t move

Thanks! Used this to fix the door not opening from the inside. Great explanation on how it works. Though I ended up using two layers of heat shrink tubing instead to hold the broken pieces together. Didn't have a grinder or spare elbow piece. So far so good!

Does the new tensior jumping to? Becuse i saw on two cars with ac on or off and non of them is jumping

great stuff. . thank you!

Thank you very much

Could you tell where the hose that you took out from behind the tank is connected to? I washed my tank but that hose came out by itself now that I put the tank in there is no gas I have that problem..

Hello, I just watched your video and I learned a lot, thank you for that, can you tell me what is the name of the cable where the door lock is activated, the one that is like a screw at the end?

Is fluid flush and fluid change the same thing? Great video btw!

Thanks for video. Did Mazda thermostat come with the gasket?

Just diagnosed with the same problem my question is the timing chain cover is wet not dripping with oil and they are saying it's from the pan gasket leaking ...does this make sense thank you

ALWAYS use the recommended brake fluid for your automobile. NEVER just put DOT 4 if it calls for DOT 3…. unless the Dot 4 fluid is backwards compatible with Dot 3! You should NEVER mix the two because if you sell that car after you have put the incorrect fluid in…. and the next owner puts the correct, recommended fluid in….. there could be problems. Always use the recommended brake fluid in your manual or what’s recommended on the brake fluid cap. This guy gave some incomplete advice.

Thank you! Our 2014 CX-5 was a little different. The two screws in the rear of the console are on the sides underneath decorative covers. You have to move the front seats far forward to get to them. The mar-free way to remove the decorative covers is by shoving the edge of a credit card under either the top or bottom edge (not the sides), and pulling outwards. Other than that, everything was the same, and your instructions helped me a LOT. Thanks so much!

Awesome video with all the required steps. Thank you so much.

INCORRECT TORQUE SPECS The torque specs in the manual you're quoting at the beginning are given in three different units. You're quoting the first set of figures as foot-pounds, but these are the Newton-meter specs. Within the parentheses, the next value is in kgf-cm ( kilogram-force centimeter). Finally, the second value within the parentheses is in foot-lbs. This is shown briefly at the bottom left of the page at video point 0:38. So the upper strut mounting nuts should be torqued between 33 to 44 ft-lbs, and the lower mounting bolts should be torqued between 96 and 111 foot-pounds. About 35% less than what you quoted, give or take.

I used heat shrink tubing over the piece that broke. When and if it stops working, I'll probably use your method. My piece is smaller and white.

Thanks for vid. I tried several times to lift my cx-9 and could not see where to locate the stand.

Good job, I'm sure the homeowner will notice a lower utility bill especially if they have a smart meter that will record in-rush current.

you did not say anything about disconnecting the plugs in the rear of the tank????

This was a horrible tutorial. How do you keep the fluid from flowing out of the return nozzle on the reservoir? The fluid just goes everywhere. I didn't see you cover this anywhere in your video. No way is a little water bottle going to catch all that fluid.

Save time. Cut off the water pump belt instead of taking all that time to remove it. Second use a $10.00 Stretch Belt Installation Tool.
