YELLOW MONSTER

I WENT OUT OF TOWN AND WHEN I CAME BACK THE RX8 BARLEY STARTED AND WHEN IT DID THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON THEN I CALLED THE DEALER SHIP AND THEY
TOLD ME THAT THE WARRANTY ON IT IS GONE AND THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THAT MY AIR MANIFOLD HAD A LEAK AND THAT WAS CASUING THE OIL TO FOAM UP DOSE ANYONE KNOW HOW MUCH THIS WOULD COST TO GET FIXED

Rems31

wow that's some dealership! they knew all that from a phone call??

DarkBrew

Isn't it still covered by drive train warranty?

Top up the oil and you are good to go .
Oh - and don't shout !

YELLOW MONSTER

Yea I Know Sounds Weird But He Said That He Had More Of Rx8s With That Problem And Tahts What It Was

YELLOW MONSTER

Hey Dark Brew I Really Dont Know But It Only Has 42000 Miles And Its An 04 So Do U Think It Should Be Covered???

Rems31

yea you probably should take it to another dealer when yours is diagnosing your problems over the phone

YELLOW MONSTER

ahah yea i probbaly will but did anyone on here have tat same problem

It does not sound like you have a problem at all . You went away for "a while" - any more than a week or two and your battery will be down so it won't crank over very well and will be hard to start . The oil light comes on when the level is down - top it up . The foaming oil is a common problem - type in "dip stick foam" in search for that .

^^^ thanks man i mean i really dont wont to get rid of the car but how the service man was talking i should of sold it by now he was saying that the car probbaly had a leak in the air manifold and that it probally mixed oil and water

Yes call them tell them DAMNIT ITS UNDER WARRANTY! If you read the SSP letter it tells you what your entitled too and what # too call if you have any more questions...If you don't feel you can handle it show your parents that letter and tell them to handle it.....I would just call mazda and tell them about how the dealership you went too diagnosed your car over the phone...without looking at it and then went on to say your not covered....seems kinda shitty to me

Just to be sure, go open your driver door and read the service date on the sticker on the door, and make sure its not 5 years from then

Top off the oil & don't let it get low again. Don't call that dealership again, ever. Call the other one and set an appointment to have it checked out. But the safest bet is that you need to keep a closer eye on your oil level to avoid the oil light coming on. Good luck, and for the love of all things unholy - turn off you caps lock key!

I think your cars have RABIES!!! Hey man no problem, the reason why I know that is because I bought my car yesterday and took it to the dealer today to make sure it had all recalls and such...and they told me I had an extended warranty :-) :-)

YELLOW MONSTER

ahahha i hope not dude
