Well the tensioner was loud enough that it sounded more like supercharger whine so I replaced it[user not found] wrote: ↑Fri Feb 26, 2021 12:37 pmOnly because he didn't know I changed it, likely.
I swapped it out when I bought it because it's a cheap thing, easy to do, and good maintenance if you don't know the history of the belt prior. I swear I did the idler pulley as well, but can't find any receipts for a replacement.
I did the same thing on the Taco - serp belt and all 3 idler pulleys. Tensioner I left for now, but I'll replace it eventually?

Used my stethoscope. It’s very obviously the pump making noise. I’ve traced it back to a bad seal on the pump inlet. Back to mazda for mooore parts hooray!

Update: power steering fixed
Shoved a slightly thicker o-ring onto the suction hose where it goes into the pump. Now it seals up perfectly!
Now I get to finish my original problem and see if the new alternator is working and if the battery got murdered.

Lets say, theoretically, I move forward with getting new seats. Which one do you guys like more?
RRX:
or RRB:
Or, do you prefer something else? Before you say Recaro, I’m not looking to drop 1000+ per seat

The one that fits your body is the best. It's a PITA but you need to sit in them somehow.

That is indeed the problem. I can’t find a store with any of the seats I’m interested that I can go sit in.troyguitar wrote: ↑Sat Mar 13, 2021 12:23 pm The one that fits your body is the best. It's a PITA but you need to sit in them somehow.

First seat looks a lot like mk6 GTI seat. Second is too much I’ll concur with consensus

Nah I’m not going to Serum Summit unfortunately. 1) I probably have COVID rn (waiting on test results) and 2) I had 2 large reports due on Friday and I have 2 large exams coming this week. Bad time for it.
