    I just got a compression done couple weeks ago when I installed new plugs and the tests resulted good , sadly my mazda is the 05 model and is running the old starter which is garbage at best, planning on installing the new version + coils + new battery and wires and see if that fixes the issue :)

    Thanks alot buddy!


    While we are at it, someone is maybe selling a battery Upgrade? My car is the 05 model and still runs with the old battery + starter and I am having some troubles with warm start. (hopefully coils + leads will help with this but while I am at it might aswell trow in a new battery )

    Yes, I will definitely stay away from Ebay eheh, do you guys know someone / somewhere I can buy them from with good quality and good price?


    I need coils and wires (plugs I just changed 1 and half week ago).


    Also, what am I supposed to look for when I check the cat? What would tell me if its dead.


    Thank you again guys, you have been of great help!

    Thank you for the video jim! Sadly even with the video I have nore the tools nore the ability to do it myself. When it comes to mechanic stuff i'm an utter noob xD.


    Hey Jayman, I know where Wiesbaden is, not too far from me at all I already had the plugs changed from Mazda in Gross Umstadt, the dealer didn't want to change my coils.. saying it was ''useless'' , so yea.
    I would trust you, or any owner of an rx8 , over any of this so called ''mazda mechanics'' .


    You think you could find the time to change my coils? Also, add me on facebook if you have it for easier conversation =) !

    Hello everyone, I am sam, I am american and I currently live in Darmstadt Hessen. I am an owner of this amazing car, a Mazda rx8, is there someone that lives nearby that speaks a little bit of English? I went to Mazda Darmstadt and Mazda Gross Umstadt but I was treated like shit, worst then a Fiat owner, terrible experience.


    I am having a CEL code P0420 - Cat issues if i remember correct, I just ran a compression test and spark plugs changed 2 weeks ago. I wanted to change the coils aswell but the Mazda dealer told me ''its useless'' . Sadly it is not and I should've changed the coils aswell.


    Please if someone leaves nearby and is a mechanic (homemade :D) or can direct me to a good mechanic with a clue about this car it would be much much appreciated !


    I love my car and I need your help !
    Thank you .
