I have a 2005 RX-8 which I purchased last year from a private seller. The car has had 3 previous owners. 2 weeks ago I discovered an oil leak and my engine flooded. My mechanic used to work for Mazda and told me that I needed a new oil cooling pipe because that is where the leak is coming from and it should of been recalled just as my starter should of been recalled too.
When I contacted Mazda and asked them if my car had any recalls they told me that they were not aware of any recalls for the RX-8 and I told them I read many statements on the internet about recalls and they just told me not to believe everything I read...........they keep on denying all knowledge......so I handed the phone to my mechanic who they told was a recall but if the car is not under warranty I would have to pay..................
The oil coling pipe is £600 and the starter is £400. I refuse to pay for the parts and service if it was a recall. If it is a manufacturing fault why on earth am I paying for it???
.What can I do about this??? Please help. Thank you for reading this long winded post!!
