Mazda 6 2.2L TDI Skyactiv

A Sc*** Heap

As my opening gambit it was my fault for inadequate research on the model. Lost a good chunk of cash.

Bought the 2.2L diesel Skyactiv engine which I quickly learned has issues with fuel injectors leaking diesel vapour into the engine sump. Engine oil thickens, the death signal of low oil pressure comes on. Driven roughly 7000 miles on new oil before it required a full service. Sold to webuyanycar as i cant in good conscience sell this to anybody. Additional issues - Sound damping is near non existent. Very loud cabin, a cheap fiesta is quieter, absolutely dire. Rims had very mild corrosion which caused them to constantly deflate even with some remedies at my local garage. Rake on the windscreen is too steep, seats are very high, I'm only 5' 9" and head nearly touching the ceiling.

It does have some kick....for a while.
