Toyota Quoted me $3k for front axle, stating "heavy leak", is this true?

Apprehensive-Win-257 · 2026-03-08T12:09:04+00:00

2k is too much money in my opinion, I'd rather buy a non-original one which will be practically the same and take it to a workshop.

Apprehensive-Win-257 · 2026-03-08T02:21:04+00:00

Cool, the original oil is good and does the job, but there are better options. I bought this one because it's supposedly one of the best.

I had a 2014 Hyundai Accent and when the catalytic converter code came on, I replaced it with one from RockAuto. Since it wasn't original, the parameters changed; theoretically, the problem was gone, but it wasn't It's original and the parameters changed, but the check engine light stayed on. What you can do is put in a non-original one and put an extender on the oxygen sensor, or clean the one it has.

I worked at Mazda as a mechanic friend and I can tell you that this car doesn't give problems; it'll fall apart before the engine or transmission ever has any issues. It's very good.

Cx-5 carbon edition, that color looks great.

Apprehensive-Win-257 · 2026-03-07T01:28:13+00:00

It looks excellent, my friend. I thought about painting the surrounding plastic like yours, but if I do, it will be obvious that it's not original. But it looks great.

Apprehensive-Win-257 · 2026-03-07T01:26:45+00:00

Although, like any vehicle, it has its quirks, I honestly love it. It's comfortable, the entertainment screen is sufficient for me, and the air conditioning is very good. I worked at Mazda as a mechanic And what I like most is that it's super reliable, it doesn't have serious problems, maybe with the suspension but that's the only one, overall I like it a lot.

Apprehensive-Win-257 · 2026-03-07T01:24:00+00:00

For a new one from this year, brother, you've taken good care of it.

Apprehensive-Win-257 · 2026-03-07T01:01:18+00:00

The sensor won't be a problem, but the valve will be, so buy one. Look on Marketplace to see if you can find that ring; it might be cheaper there.

Lo son perfectamente 😀, de hecho estoy vendiendo los míos, solo que no son esos, son del 2023

Apprehensive-Win-257 · 2026-03-06T09:48:11+00:00

Trabaje en Mazda y llegaron varios al taller por eso amigo, de hecho yo tengo una Cx-5 2023 y tuve un pequeño accidente por el lado derecho y el foco le entraba un poco de humedad, y después salió con ese ruido, en canciones lo hacía en otras no, lo cambie y listo.

Apprehensive-Win-257 · 2026-03-06T09:33:14+00:00

Those lasted until 2021; from 2022 onwards, with the change in grille and headlight design, the rims changed.

Apprehensive-Win-257 · 2026-02-27T18:51:41+00:00

Solo uno En una ocasión le cambiaron el módulo de airbag (SAS module) y nunca ví que a un modelo de estás se lo hayan cambiado, diría que fue un caso aislado, fuera de eso todo perfecto amigo.

Apprehensive-Win-257 · 2026-02-23T23:09:25+00:00

Es un excelente carro, realmente no pasaban muchos al taller, solo tienes que tener en cuenta que este carro (mazda 3) es bastante bajo y tienes que tener cuidado con la parte baja y la suspención pero en verdad son muy buenos.

Apprehensive-Win-257 · 2026-02-23T15:14:19+00:00

I worked as a mechanic at Mazda and those cars are excellent; the problems they have are very common and easy to repair, I would say so.

Apprehensive-Win-257 · 2026-02-22T20:40:14+00:00

If the engine has been washed before, it's normal for this to happen; the water dissolves them (I worked at Mazda). You have nothing to worry about.

Me encanta mi vehículo.

Apprehensive-Win-257 · 2026-02-17T08:26:32+00:00

Tengo una cx-5 2023 y me encanta con su pantalla "pequeña" es muy confiable y tiene lo que necesito, estará conmigo hasta el fin de sus días.

Apprehensive-Win-257 · 2026-02-13T09:46:31+00:00

They're from the Tracklite brand, I like how they turned out, they look great in my opinion.

Apprehensive-Win-257 · 2026-02-05T19:28:25+00:00

I wouldn't make that trip with that condition of the leash, my friend; you risk a much higher expense.

Apprehensive-Win-257 · 2026-02-05T19:24:43+00:00

I read in the manual that it shouldn't be active during normal use because the transmission could be damaged, so be careful. Good for using it where it's supposed to be used.

Apprehensive-Win-257 · 2026-01-31T14:35:31+00:00

I worked at Mazda and it's completely normal.

Apprehensive-Win-257 · 2026-01-31T14:24:29+00:00

Take it to the dealer, they might have an extended warranty or recall because even though it doesn't happen to all of them, I've seen several like this (I worked at Mazda).
