MAZDA CX7 2. 2. D 2. DPF REGEN CHEAT SHEETI do a lot of Ks so I really do have a good feel for how my Tri goes but how I may explain it will be a bit different.

Mazda/Mazda54.jpg' alt='Mazda 2007 Cx7 Owners Manual' title='Mazda 2007 Cx7 Owners Manual' />I got my Chip It package today and hurried home to open it up 1 heavy black box, noticeably heavier than THE OTHER BRAND and a fair bit of connectors 1 for common rail, 1 for map sensor and 1 for power and earth. Basically, I have this pretty down pat because of the THE OTHER BRAND and had the Chip It Module installed in under 5 minutes, I spent more time coiling up the extra cable which I have no idea what to do with now than anything else. I have not installed the map sensor and am unsure if I ever will. Turned the car on and saw that I successfully had a red flashing light, awesome.

The following procedure describes how to start DPF forced Regen without the dealer diagnostic tools. I know I know, you think I am dawdling here, dont care, I am tired OK. So I started up the Tri and backed her out of the driveway, hmmmm, cant be. Did I push the accelerator a bit too much in angst Hmmmmm. I backed around and pointed the Tri up the hill of my street and seen that the street was clear so I give the throttle a squirt just as I do every other day and woofter, the Mickey Ts are individually picking rocks out of the tar like nothing else. This is wrong, I know it So I stopped and tried this again, this thing absolutely leaps off the line, talk about push you back, is this torque or whatThe Turbo has just leapt into life with no hesitation whatsoever. Before, if I wanted to get off the line this quick I would have to ride the brake and time it good, now I cant wait to get to the lights to test this thing out Jeremy, James and Richard thou shall never drive slow. This is a bloody Auto mind ya. This aint right This is not suppose to be. I had to drive into town on 6. A few sets of lights on the way so a bit of stopstart. Well I laughed, and my son says to me as we are going to soccer practise Dad, what you laughin at I says You know that this is the fastest Tri around He goes Huh, whatever and I go feel this, I plants my foot and the thing just instantly leaps forward, revs hard and you feel the torquepowerturbo. I have no friggin idea whats in this Diesel chip. Tri along like never before. Seriously, I had a Territory with 6spd box which flew before this, I sold it because I needed to slow down, it did not have the punch that this has got. I am sure it is the torque. Its like a 4. 50 four stroke dirt bike compared to my revy 2. Everything Sierra has been saying about his Triton with the Chip It Module in his is true. Just one thing though, he does not want to come up against a 3. Chip It I can honestly say I think that even though I wouldve loved a manual again, now I dont because in a manual with this thing you would be changing gears too quickly. It suits the auto perfectly I reckon, the auto has changed characteristics, it is not sluggish anymore, the Tri just punches through the changes. Whats is going on hereI have no idea, seriously either I have a faulty THE OTHER BRAND Chip or this is exactly what Chip It say it is, with no crap glossing over stuff. One thing I do need to do is sell my EDITED sticker as I think I am going to give the site a bad rep around Newcastle, or I might call it EDITED Hoon. I seriously wish I had some 0 1. Aldl Usb Driver. I reckon it will be seconds quicker. I also have no doubt that this thing will leave any Navara, Ranger, BT5. I have no doubt about this. Diesels just arent suppose to drive this way. I will report back on the race results as they come in. Economy wise, I have filled the tank up and will see what happens, my only problem is I will be secretly egging people on to see who I can bait for a drag. Hmmmm I think I might go and get one of those Transformer badges for the back now,. I am tired and excited at the same time, hence my rambling. I will calm down over the upcoming months I think thou, so that should be good. I just have these weird scenarios going through my head about to snatch a vehicle out of a bog and the Tri rips off the frontend of the other vehicle, do I need to have to upgrade my 3rd party insurance or do I just refuse to recover any other vehiclesDo I have concerns I have no doubt this has 1. Do I have concerns that I may not sell my THE OTHER BRAND Chip on e. Bay for a good priceNo, unless they read this website, then I am cactus Do I have concerns that other Tritons will be as powerful as mine No. Because mine is a RED One and it just aint possible. Bloody hell, I have just thought that I am going to have to save money for new tyres soon, frig no. Whether I exaggerate or not or if your Tri does get the gains that I got, who knows. All I know is what I have said above and felt through my own Dyno Bum analysis, I am Excited. Well done Chip Tuning. Everything Wrong With the 2. Mazda CX 5. Its a joy to drive, but missing some of the little things holds back the CX 5 from true greatness. Update Check the comments section too, others have mentioned a couple more good ones. Update 2 I took my CX 5 on a racetrack, and I actually had a lot of fun. Here are my thoughts. The 2. 01. 4 Mazda CX 5 is undoubtedly one of the best affordable CUVs on the market right now. Between its killer looks and fantastic road feel, the CX 5 is a brilliant answer to the two giants that overshadow it, Honda and Subaru CR V and Forester. Its near the front of the pack in terms of power and fuel efficiency, typically mutually exclusive traits, and still comes in under 3. Its not for the economy 4. WD seeker, the CUVs like the Rogue cater to a more frugal bunch, but the CX 5 is a damn good and practical car if you care at all about enjoying what you drive. That being said, there is still significant room for Mazda to improve the CX 5. Although it answered its critics biggest gripe from the 2. L engine upgraded to 2. L, there are still many little things that make you shake your head. Heres a selection of tiny faults Ive come across in a month of driving. Some of them are legitimately stupid, and some of them are just based on my personal driving preferences. Window Controls. Have you ever parked your car, turned off the engine, and realized you left a window open We all have, and most cars will keep the juice flowing to the windows controls until you crack open the door so you can correct your mistake without turning the car back on. What Mazda does instead is only give you one auto updown, illuminated window switch which will remain active after turning off the ignition. All the other switches are left lifeless and dark. Either Mazda thinks people will only ever forget to close one window, or they didnt feel like wiring up the remaining 3 moonroof window switches to a computer controlled circuit and gluing in an LED. This is cheap, and dumb. Rear Visibility. This is something that plagues a lot of newer cars sloped rear ends that increase aerodynamics and hatchback iness usually mean slits for rear windows. Thats not a problem when reversing if your car gives you a backup camera and the CX 5 does, but when youre driving on the highway, its bad for situational awareness. Couple this with headrests that permanently obscure your vision, and you have a pretty much useless rear view mirror. Also, the last row of windows in the CX 5 is pretty much useless. Furthermore, the geometry of the rear pillar creates an area of high contrast. That rear window in the back is always brighter than the surroundings, which turns makes it harder for me to clear my blind spot at a glance probably why Mazda threw in a blind spot monitoring system. Lightweight Panels. In my old CR V, when I closed the moonroof shade at highway speeds, I immediately noticed a sound dampening quality in the cabin. The shade itself was dense and well padded. It also blocked out noise from rain. The CX 5s shade is noticeably flimsier and does nothing for the cars acoustics. Some other plastic panels and accents dont fit as snugly as they could have either. Subarus Trunk is More Useful. When I test drove the Forester, I was impressed by the little details. Like a styrofoam tray in the spare tire compartment to store small trinkets. It wouldnt be very useful for groceries, but its certainly nice for items you would otherwise carelessly toss in the trunk and let roll around on a regular basis. Mazdas spare tire well is shallower, so it cant be nearly as useful. Maybe you can toss in a pair of shoes, thats about it. If theyd dropped the trunk depth just a few more inches, they might have actually improved aerodynamics and added some useful hidden storage. Its not like youre going to go mudding in a car like this, so ground clearance would still have been quite sufficient. Transmission. This ones really just knit picking, the CX 5s automatic transmission when paired with a 6 speed provides more than adequate power. But quite often, its fuel sipping programming will make itself known as the car holds onto a higher gear as long as possible. You can drop the car into manual shift mode, but its not a real manual shifter. The CX 5s automatic brain will still automatically downshift for you when youre slowing down, so if you try to downshift theres a good chance your car will try to simultaneously. Instead of limiting the car to only one shift when 2 different inputs are received every 1. Mazda. Either give us FULL control, or put in some code in the ECU or something that ignores double shifts from user input automatic logic. Open Door Indicator. Hondas had this nailed down for years. Would it kill you to differentiate your different door sensors instead of having a single monolithic A DOOR IS OPEN icon on the dashboard Infotainment System. This ones the deal breaker for me. If Mazda doesnt fix this by the time my lease is over, Im discarding all my accumulated love for Mazda and switching brands. Heres how Mazdas i. PhonePod connectivity works 1 Bluetooth Works like a charm, easier to pair than Subarus system on the Forester. Navigation, music are all routed properly. However, there are no controls for finding playlists or songs. Nor are there options for shuffle or repeat. The only workaround is to use Siri to activate shuffle, not even the Music Apps controls work. Do you even check your forums, Mazda USB Car tries to download ALL music. Were not talking a song list or anything, if you have 1. GB of music, you have to wait for your car to read 1. GB over USB 2. 0. I can usually drive a mile or two before playback starts. And when it does, there is no persistent memory of where you last left off. The car starts playing at the very first song in alphabetical order. People in forums have recommended creating empty tracks titled aaaaaaaaa. You will become very familiar with this screenLike SERIOUSLY, MAZDA A high school programmer could do better than this. MYFORD TOUCH, Sync, whatever its called works better than this. Not only is this annoying, but by not letting me set my music before I start driving you are creating a safety hazard. I, and dozens of others, have contacted Mazda Corporate, and they said they will relay our concerns to the UI designers but they have made no promises to patch this system in the future. PS, theres a Change. Org petition about this issue http www. C3B1a update head unit software for the 2. Let me reiterate, the CX 5 is a joy to drive. The problem is that numerous little and large flaws tear you away from your automotive nirvana. To be clear though, this is by no means the ultimate driving machine. Its 8. But it kills me that all of Mazdas faults could have been remedied for not a lot of money in manufacturing or design. Update 2 Another issue has been plaguing my car Moisture. Some mornings, Ive found the inside of my windshield coated in ice, and because of its curvature I cant scrape it off easily. After 5 minutes idling and 1. I get to work Thats another problem, uneven airflow over the windshield. And also, to get through the front gate Ive had to open my door to show my ID because my window was frozen shut. I drive without air recirculation turned on, so humidity ought to have been equalized inside the cabin. I never had either of these problems with my CR V in Michigan.
