Mazda 6 2.2 Skyactiv Disaster - Engine Teardown

[paulsmithson]

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.

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.

Just doing this now after egr fault found cooler is blocked solid, keep up great content 👌

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?

[Ballysillanone]

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.

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.

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

[thetruth]

How often was the oil changed at what intervals? Thanks.

[spharrison]

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.

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

[heidishanebennett]

Hello, do you know the free lengths of the exhaust and intake springs? Thanks

[MrPierre]

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 👍😉

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.

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

[LP-fqus]

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.

[pederlarsen]

What way to turn bolt for remove crankshaft pulley, left or right, is it left turn bolt?

[linagacha]

Disable egr and you have no problems left especially with carbon building up

[justiceg]

if I ever get a direct injection engine I'd have to get a catch can ASAP

[kenter]

What cause this carbon build up is it possible valve seal leakage
