Air pump going bad
so my air pump is going bad and im not planning on replacing it. so i was wondering if i could just take out the fuse for it to keep it from running.

Sure. Or you can disconnect it. I don't think you can remove it without plugging the holes up though.
|
yeah ive seen a delete plate to do that but i dont really see the point.
|
if you unplug it or pull the fuse you'll get a CEL. I have an AP that masks mine, so i just unplugged it. If you have an OBDII reader you can just erase the CEL each time, but it will come back with every cold start.
|
just buy a used one, they can often be had for not that much $$$
[soapbox]or you can just forget about it and continue on with the human fail of sh-tting in our own nest and being blind to the fact that the earth is not an unlimited source of life sustaining resources for eternity ...[/soapbox] |
[soapbox] anyone who buys, let alone races, an RX8 has a long way to go before they're green [/soapbox]
To add to Team's suggestion, if you have a cat you really should replace the air pump. |
Or if it is NOISY, just renew the Bearings....common NSK 608VVC3 Bearings (two)..

Supposedly roller skate bearings work also.
|
thanks everyone for the advice. im not exactly sure what to do yet. i would definitely just replace the bearings if i was confident enough to take all that apart but im not so, we'll see.
|
Ahh...this is not a DIY thread?

Replacement Air Pump
Does anyone know if BOSCH W0133-1597546 is the same as the air pump in the RX-8? Audi Quattros use this part.

If it's noisy, it still works.
Depends upon whether you like to hear it or not. |
