Fitment questions
Will a cylinder head from a 2015 Mazda CX-5 fit my 2018 CX-5?
The Mazda CX-5 ran in its first generation from 2012 to 2017, with a facelift around 2015, and the second generation began in 2017 — so a 2015 head and a 2018 head sit on opposite sides of a generation boundary. Engine code is the critical factor here: if both vehicles share the same engine code (found on your V5 or via a VIN check), there may be a case for interchange within that engine family, but crossing that generational boundary means you must confirm with the breaker against your exact registration before assuming compatibility. Never assume fitment based on year alone.
Does the cylinder head from a diesel CX-5 fit a petrol CX-5?
No — diesel and petrol cylinder heads are entirely different components and are not interchangeable under any circumstances. Always make sure the head you are sourcing matches your exact fuel type, and supply your engine code to the breaker so they can pull the correct unit. Your engine code is on your V5 logbook or available through a VIN check.
Does the trim level affect which cylinder head I need — for example, does a SE-L need a different head to a Sport or GT Sport?
Trim level makes no difference to cylinder head fitment on the CX-5 — SE, SE-L, Sport, and GT Sport trims use the same heads when the engine code matches. The engine code stamped on your block is what determines compatibility, not the badge on the tailgate. Do bear in mind that ancillary items such as brackets or sensors attached to a head from a different trim variant may differ cosmetically or in minor mounting detail, so confirm those specifics with the breaker.
My CX-5 is a 2013 — is that first or second generation, and does it matter for sourcing a cylinder head?
A 2013 CX-5 is first generation (2012–2017), so you should be sourcing a head from that generation in the first instance. Generation matters because engine families can differ significantly between the first and second gen, so always lead with your engine code when contacting a breaker rather than relying on the year alone. Providing your registration for a VIN check will give the breaker the exact engine code they need to match the right part.
Will a cylinder head from an automatic CX-5 fit a manual CX-5?
Gearbox type does not directly affect cylinder head fitment — the head is matched to the engine, not the transmission. As long as the engine codes match between the donor vehicle and your CX-5, gearbox type is not a concern for this particular component. Supply your engine code and registration to the breaker to make sure they are pulling the head from the correct engine variant.
Can I use a cylinder head from a CX-5 with a different engine size — for example, a 2.0 head on a 2.2 diesel?
Different engine displacements have different cylinder heads and they are not interchangeable — a 2.0 petrol head and a 2.2 diesel head are completely incompatible. Always match the engine code exactly: even within the same fuel type, different displacements are separate engine families with different head designs and dimensions. Give the breaker your full engine code and registration so they can source the correct head for your specific unit.
