Hi guys,after 3 years had my first issue with my 2014 cx5.my girlfriend borrowed my car and a 100 miles later she got the “low oil pressure warning light” went into limp mode and immediately pulled over,had a mobile mechanic out to check the car out,he checked all the levels and cleared a couple of codes(which she can’t remember what they were) started the car up and the mechanic followed her to her destination of 30 miles without issues,the following day she drove the 125 miles home without any issues.has anyone had the same problem?

 

Without knowing the DTC the person cleared it would be a multitude of reasons. In other words, from specific to none -specific events. Nothing you posted would lead anyone that knows how to work on vehicles from 1995 would have any specific reasons for the described event. You can still have the *ECU scanned to check for event history if the engine has not been started more of them 5 times since the occurrence. This ECU check requires a person that has or knows advanced automotive diagnostics training and has a professional grade diagnostic tool.
I would suggest in the future always ask the person doing an ECU check to tell you and log what they found.
Bottom line you should hope that it was an anomalous event or now need to wait for something to happen again to be able to diagnosis the cause and come up with a solution.

*Most Mobil mechanic are not trained in Automotive diagnostic skills and it very difficult to self-learn them so maybe ask their qualification in the future before using any random person.

 

I'm guessing its the 2.2 diesel. ( very troublesome engine )

 

I'm assuming the same as the OP's location is set as GB.

 

Didn't you or your GF receive an invoice for the work done by the mobile mechanic? The invoice should have any DTCs found listed in the repair description. If you're still concerned about the oil pressure, get it to a shop and have a mechanical oil pressure gauge hooked up to your engine to see what the actual oil pressure is.

 

should have?... LOL

I don't know where you live but here in CA and I can state in Neveda, Oregon, Florida and Texas most "ALL" mobile mechanics don't give out detailed invoices or any paper that resembles anything but a paid and very basic information if you are lucky and ask for one like a brick-and-mortar service shop . And most are not even state licensed. You need to ask for the details from a mobile mechanic that you have perform and service to your vehicle.

As for the advice of telling a service shop what to do or request it you will get a likely minimum 1 hour labor fee. The proper thing to do if you are concerned is find a licensed and hopefully you looked ASE certified service shop, explain to the person that will be writing your service request what the mobile mechanic did and let them advise what they will do to confirm if there is any unresolved problem or question as to the service done by the mobile mechanic.

 

I'm not in any of those states you've listed. Typically, I've been able to handle jobs myself that people would hire out to a mobile mechanic. If any of my vehicles goes into a shop, there is always a detailed description of the found problems and remedy. So that's where my point of view is coming from.

 

You keep writing the word always and typically???? ..... Very few states have regulations restricting and or requiring specific details on a service shops invoice. There are better shops that do write every detail of a service but they are far and few.
By your own response and I quote you ... "description of the found problems and remedy" is much different than your other quote "The invoice should have any DTCs found listed" !
This suggest only that you do not understand Diagnostic trouble shooting. To put it simply a single DTC or several DTC are only starting points and there is other areas of the ECU that has more information and some are not even related directly to the original cause or even the actual problem. In the case of this Oil pressure, you would need to write out the complete method and tools used to diagnosis if the oil system was a problem or not. That just not reasonable
Your information points out that you are not qualified nor have worked in a service shop or worked in one long enough to begin to get what I am posting.
But let's turn it to bikes. I worked for a Honda/Yamaha and Harley Davidson dealerships in both parts department and more so service shop and neither shop was I required to write out a complete list of how I arrived at finding the cause and solution of a problem. On top of being time consuming it means that the steps would need to be prof read so that nothing gets misunderstood.

So you can keep defending your response but a few calls to random service shops and even the dealership service department will likely yield the same inform I am posting unless they think you are a disgruntled customer trying to "catch them" in a service related job they think they were over charged or that it was not done properly in their mind? lol

 

Lots of assumptions about me. It's ok. I'll yield to the the head cheese of the Mazda Forum.

 

Dude I only have to read your response.... I can make a pretty fair judgement what a member knows and has working practical experience and formal training ion the service industry auto or motorcycle. I think I may have a few more certifications and hands on working experiences then you... maybe not??

Post up yours but defiantly read other members responses in this thread.
