I never owned a car that gave me so many engine problems like skyactiv diesel 2013. First it was carbon buildup in intake manifold and clogged dpf, then camshaft failure, I-ELOOP belt failure, some emissions sensor, turbo problems and I probably forgot a few more. Thank God I sold that car.
If you buy a Honda 2.2 diesel (N22b) you will have a perfect engine but the drivetrain is made of glass, clutch, DMF, just crap 150000km at most and CV axles and DMF failure. Hydro mount goes too. Part prices just as crazy as at Mazda. Dealers "that is neeeeeeever an issue sir". Used to work at Honda Mazda Nissan dealer back in the 00's. Those were cars, many from the 90's in service. So good. Light years away from German competitors.
Alarming to see how many related problems people are having with these 2.2d engines. My own 2015 version with 161k is now having similar. Really putting me in mind of selling it now.
Yep, this happened to mine! The car has been sitting for 2 years until the price of injectors came down in price because if covid tax!!! Just started rebuilding it this week. I had to use a 10mm wood spade drill bit to get the copper washer out as the carbon had welded it in and i needed to use a 10 foot braker bar to remove the naffed injector.
Really good video thank you for sharing. I have a 2015, MK6, causing nothing but problems. Comes up with p0101 mas dealer have done carbon clean but still playing up. I wish I had the confidence to do what you ddo
You don't need to use a camera to see which intake valve is open. Use a stick of some type, eg a screwdriver, and poke it thru the oil filler cap hole until it rests on the rocker of the #3 intake. Turn the engine by hand and when the stick goes down the valve is opening. Once the valve is fully opened (turn the engine a couple of times to work out how far the stick goes up and down) then every other intake valve must be closed. Now you can clean 1, 2 and 4. Then repeat on # 2 intake rocker so you can clean # 3.
Technically you are right. But there is room for error and it involves too much hassleing around. I still think that the £30 endoscope is the best option here.
I wouldn't do this without removing the engine. removing the head and chemically cleaning the entire head and intake. Turbo rebuild. Checking crankshaft bearings. All this work can go to waste.
Thanks for your very informative videos. I was wondering if you think there is a way to understand if the camsharft is worn without removing the engine cover ?! I'm asking because I already did the EGR cleaning, checked the injector at a specialized center that also replaced the washers, did the DPF cleaning without removal using the pressure tube, changed the exhaust diff sensor and MAP sensor and the regeneration still occurs every 70 km in highway and the consumption is 8.5 L/100km (27.6 MPG), therefore I'm suspecting a worn chamsharf. The car is cx-5 AWD 175 hp from 2016 with 165k km.
Hi, there is no other way, but it's not difficult at all. However I still would suspect the injectors, as you may have cavitation erosion present and it's really difficult to test for.
I needed new injectors on a mazda 2.2 skyactiv diesel, with only 4000! Miles from new, the DPF was filling up, was OK after new injectors, did you know the centre screen tells you when the car is doing a regen, only on the iloop models
@@MrNiceGuy94i recon mazdas oil change interval on these is way too long. I drive a diesel honda civic myself and that gets serviced every 10k km even though honda suggests 15000 km. My dad has one of these cx5's and goes by the book with mazdas service interval. The oil is like tar at the service interval and reeks of exhaust fumes
@@alexhickey5633 I believe that I have this same engine in my 2013 cx-5. The previous owner didn't take as much care of this engine as I normally do, anyway, I've had my engine torn down to repair head gasket, changed the exhaust cam shaft and glow plugs, and it works great now. I have at least one more thing to do, which involved changing my fuel injection rail, and that should be it for my engine, since being diligent with my engine, I haven't had a single problem with it. I've learnt that you can't go extended periods w/o changing your oils and really taking care of your car. Your car is an investment that looses value over time, and you, the owner, must care it to get the best out of it. Great video
@@VagaBond_268 no matter how good you take care of these 2.2 diesels they dont hold up well. Even when you fix faults with them, youre still dealing with the same engine, and the same flaws. Head gaskets, injectors and their seals, egr's and camshafts are known problems on these. Just the way they are unfortunately. A bit like those 1.2 liter petrol engines opel came out with around 2011. Just a soft engine
@@alexhickey5633 somehow people in the rest of Europe are putting 200-300k miles on these engines, maybe oil changes at 7-8k miles are making a lot of difference
I have the same problem; this car has cost me a fortune in money, time and trouble! My oil pump chain snapped (common apparently) and the engine won't turn by hand, probably/hopefully due to sludge build up. These cars aren't fit for purpose and buyers should be reimbursed as they have so many serious issues. How do you get a manual for the 2.2 diesel please? Mazda don't seem to make available workshop manuals and take down everything they find online.
@@Giedriusification Not good, asked around, seems these cars with these engines have zero interest. How can Mazda produce such crap? Same with the Toyota 2.2D4D, it was also no good (177ps version).
If its the 2.2 skyactiv diesel then yes. They are renowned for being a problematic engine. Heard many disaster stories about them and witnessed a few of them first hand on my dads one
No. Skyactive Diesel engines are in 3 generations. First generation was from 2008 to 2016. The problems are related to this Generation. In 2016, SH-VPTR and SH-VPTS engines replaced the previous generation and they are completely different. I own a 2017 2.2 D and it has worked for 80K with zero problems
@@alexhickey5633 well statistics say otherwise. Most if the issues that owners of the 2.2 diesel engine report are related to the pre 2016 generation. As I said, the 2016 onward diesel engines are completely different.
I've watched so much of your content that your channel as well as Kennedy's Garage are like family to me! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Peter is very knowledgable in the topic 😉

Very very very good video. Carbon build up is so common on this vehicle as mine too has same problem and fault codes.

Nice, very nice work!
My Mazda6 2015, diesel 2.2, 129 kW. Now 360 000 km. No problems. What I see here so much dirt in the motor, You ever changed the oil?
How often have you changed the oil. I see that if you change it at 20k km you'll have a lot of deposits. Thanks
I change the oil every 7,000 and I think that the main problems are due to the long oil change intervals.
Great video, thank you!

Ho om looking at buying one these. If i have these issues would you fix it for me if i pay you to. You seem very knowledgeable and thorough 👍😉
I think I should be able ;)
if I ever get a direct injection engine I'd have to get a catch can ASAP
in this case that wouldn't help because all this was cause by the long oil change intervals and leaking injector seals.

Disable egr and you have no problems left especially with carbon building up
How often was the oil changed at what intervals? Thanks.
What I see oil was never changed, I haven't see so much dirt.
@@Giedriusification Not good, asked around, seems these cars with these engines have zero interest. How can Mazda produce such crap? Same with the Toyota 2.2D4D, it was also no good (177ps version).
What year model is this engine?
What way to turn bolt for remove crankshaft pulley, left or right, is it left turn bolt?
It is a regular bolt so lefty loosey righty tighty
Масло нужно менять каждые 5000 км и не будет такого кокса в двигателе .
What cause this carbon build up is it possible valve seal leakage
This was caused by late oil changes and leaky injector seals.
Nope its cause by the egr
Reduce oil to 15,000, not 30,000 and no problem 🍻
Have the Diesel-engine of the newest Mazda CX 5 also the same problems?
