I am surprised the dealer didn't catch that. BIG FAIL on their part.

I'm not, it's their job to get money out of you, not fix the problem quickly and cheap. At the dealer fixing things by the process of elimination is common.



OP,

I'm glad you are taking ownership and doing it yourself, way to man up.

What year is your car?
That's a lot of rust on your spark plug for it to be an '09 or newer car.

Ive seen this before, the spark plug wires don't really click nice and snug on the rx8 plugs.

good to give the plug wires a checkup push into the plugs every now and then.

hey guys sorry for the late reply. My Car is 2004 with 75,000 miles on it. since post this I have changed the front and rear gear oil with royal purple. the "whine" stopped for a day then came right back. My car still runs great but this "whine" is really concerning.

Question: How much is too much for The dealer to diagnose a car? I want to have them diagnosis this "whine" already so hopefully I can fix it.
