Need help with belt size, Please HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP!!!!!!!!

The belt that holds the alternator and water pump broke 2 days ago. I am in Venezuela (S. America) and there is no Rx8 here. Mazda dealers don't know anything about this car here and I dont know the size and number of the belt. Maybe with the size and number I can check if the Mazda 6 belts work on this car.


Thanks a lot for your help...

What? Dont put a mazda 6 belt on your 8. Get a oem one. Just email mazda of north maerica and they will tell you the part # you need to give your dealer or ask www.mazdaparts.com

Your Mazda dealer can't look up the part number?
