View Full Version : Rev limiter beep - can it be adjusted? Lucozade 11-12-2003, 03:59 AM My rev limiter beep appears to be very low in volume. It's very hard to hear it at all. Is anybody having the same problem/is it easy to fix? I really don't want to leave my car with the dealer if I can avoid it. RobDickinson 11-12-2003, 04:01 AM Oh why dont you just come out and say what you mean? I'm revvin her like mad, hit the beeper already! And be done with it. p.s. stop showin off. I have 200+ miles to go before I try that one...:) rael 11-12-2003, 04:11 AM When I test drove the 8 I could not hear the beeper either but the rev noise was adequate to judge. rael specman 11-12-2003, 04:32 AM Originally posted by rael When I test drove the 8 I could not hear the beeper either but the rev noise was adequate to judge. rael Time to get a free sample from "Hidden Hearing, Duke Street London" and some bifocals?????????? ;) :) :) AndyPearce 11-12-2003, 05:59 AM I had no problem hearing the beeper on any of the 3 test drives but never had the stereo on. Is it when you have music on at the same time or just generally? morganrogers 11-12-2003, 06:20 AM Maybe we can get the wires crossed with the MADDENINGLY LOUD seatbelt beeper..... Lucozade 11-12-2003, 06:23 AM I am following the run in procedure but as said it doesn't actually say don't go above a certain rev limit for a while. Yes behave for the first 600 miles but it's nice to hear the rev's go up every now and then. orbist 11-12-2003, 07:09 AM The mazda saleswoman that came out with me on the test drive gave me the filthiest look when the buzzer sounded for a split second as I was just changing out of third! We both heard it ok! Mental note - don't buy an ex-demo :D rich606 11-12-2003, 07:23 AM Lucozade i brought this up a while ago. Not sure how to insert a link to a thread so have "bumped" Mazda mag thread for you to read Jim H 11-12-2003, 07:56 AM Originally posted by Lucozade My rev limiter beep appears to be very low in volume.

Use the tachometer!!! druck 11-12-2003, 08:16 AM I've accidentally strayed above 8500rpm a couple of times and haven't heared the beep over the roar of the exhausts. I've bounced off the rev limiter twice somewhere very close to 10000rpm. which I really didn't mean to do. To make up for it I'm not going above 7000rpm until 600miles (220 to go). I'll then be obligued to check it out to make sure there isn't a fault :) Cheers ---Dave |
