Exclamation Flashing Wrench Light

Hi All,

So I have a Mazda 2 2015 Diesel. The wrench light just began blinking a few days ago.
From the manual it stats " When flashing (SKYACTIV-D 1.5, SKYACTIV-D 2.2)

The sedimentor separates water from the fuel.

If water accumulates in this filter, the warning light will flash. When it does, consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer as soon as possible."

Question is, where is the fuel filter located in the diesel models. I have looked for it everywhere in the bonnet. N.B it's not behind the battery like other models.

Any help?

We don't have the diesel Mazda 2 in Australia, but the 1.5 diesel CX-3 ( same platform ) has the fuel filter under the floor beside the fuel tank. Worth having a look.

Hi grim-reaper

Thank you for the response. So I checked around the fuel tank under the car. Still have not found the filter.
Not sure why Mazda decided to make this so difficult

So i finally managed to find the fuel filter under a few covers under the car. I have drained the water from the filter, but I still have the flashing wrench light.

Anyone with any other suggestions on why the wrench logo flashes on the Mazda 2?

Have you had it scanned for fault codes?

PROBLEM SOLVED,

So I took the car to the garage. We ran the diagnostics and everything was fine. He then just reset the "Sedimentary Service" and the flashing Logo disappeared

It will come again every 20,000km's just to remind you to drain the water from the diesel filter.
