Hello to all RX-8 luvers out there! It is sooo nice to know that there is so big community around this car.
I fell in love with this car few years ago and I knew im goanna have it someday.
After few months of searching i found the perfect one. It is a 2007 231ps black beaty in a perfect condition and motor running flawless.
I paid the car and started my journey from dealership to home (approx. 180km)
Half way home strange things started happening. CEL started to blink and car lost power, than the blinking stopped and car was running normal again. This repeated few times and then came big surprise. I heard strange noise and smell of something burning.
Car lost power completely. I had to stop on the side of autobahn. When I looked under the hood I saw some water coming from a/c air intake. Then I looked under the car and saw some liquid. I touched it and smelled it, it was pure water. I started the car and I seemed to work fine. When I stepped on gas pedal I heard same strange noise. I got out of the car looked under it and pressed gas pedal with my hand. I could locate the sound source, it was a joint between CAT and rear exhaust leaking air gases on the sides.
I had to tow the car back to dealership. They told me that CAT filed, parts of it clogged the rear exhaust and the air could not escape causing the car to lose power. They told me they will replace the CAT for free and that I can have my car in few days.
My question is, what caused the CAT to fail? Could that be sign of much bigger motor problem coming soon? Should I ask for my money back and look for other rex???
