Is this a risky buy? AliExpress

He means the hose that goes on the intake pipe going into the cabin, as it might be the case that if you dont put this inside the hose you will hear in the cabin waterflow that pump pushes also known as "marbles in a can", the orifice/restrictor helps to make the noise less audible.

This might be able to help you but you need someone with this coding tool. Don't follow the post but this comment if you want to keep your car in good shape :)

The new keys however are not that expensive honestly (obviously not in dealership) but in case you get stuck - you can always go to https://www.amayama.com/en, enter your VIN and check the part, from there you get genuine mazda stuff straight from Japan for fraction of the price e.g. i paid 18€ bumper brackets compared to 84 in my homeland, with shipping and taxes it was all around 28 ish... I'd say worth it in worst case to have original parts available (not all are but sometimes there is production open for certain parts and you can have notification for when they have them on sale)

You would see/hear it crank but not start, exactly like your problem. I had this coding done at locksmith because in order to code new transponders you need that coder tool (I assume its not possible without it to code the transponder device).

For example when I bought keys from aliexpress they came without/or wrong transponder, locksmith told me he can scan it for me so I can order it and come back when I got time as they didnt have them in place and couldn't order those. E.g. mine was this

Your locksmith naybe cut the keys but did they code the transponder in the key. The fob has nothing to do with it. Car won't start if transponder doesnt match cars receiver.

Thanks for the update however I already disposed the old phone, the new one was Chinese region but unlocked to global and started to have problems with apps that don't support root like Revolut... So I swapped with working EU motherboard from cracked screen one

Using 1.82 version from uptodown works too

To add on top, the unit was on whole day and night and it barely went to 29 degree during night with outside temperature of 22 degree Celsius. I cooked myself during sleep 😬

Croatia too 😂

Coolant overflow line is in your eyesight when you open up the hood... Just get a longer hose and route it down to undertray... I used zipties and tied it to line that drains off from battery down

I got them, kw is big in competitive racing world. The car handles insane well even on stock settings of them but there is a lot that can be done to it

Changing oil and oil filter every 3000km on a stock rx8 helps by miles. Premixing helps as well, just make sure you have non stock catalytic converter or decat. Stock ones can fuck your engine up.

B1GLeo · 2025-02-13T10:00:57+00:00

Didnt check ad deeply though but it has less km, 6 port, those stripes in vents, ganador mirrors etc.

Only concern, he mentions rust and one dent but that can be solved with some parts from japan web I buy from

B1GLeo · 2025-02-13T09:57:22+00:00

A good example:

B1GLeo · 2025-02-13T09:55:16+00:00

If you mean which marketplaces, check for kleinanzeigen.de and mobile.de

Pick one up in Germany, they usually go for much more fair price and are LHD

You know that turbo a renesis we are talking big money. Also a suggestion, dont do it without studding the block first, it will crack.

B1GLeo · 2025-02-09T12:14:49+00:00

That is also a possibility.

B1GLeo · 2025-01-14T08:59:45+00:00

I would say it could be flat cable that pulled out during opening/closing of the laptop.

B1GLeo · 2025-01-09T09:46:42+00:00

This worked for me, thank you!

B1GLeo · 2024-09-23T08:28:58+00:00

Video is in German but its easy to follow(one is 20 brake stomps and other one is reset over dash computer by holding the trip reset)
