Seadoo only sells the water pump as a complete assembly for the older 4tecs. Not sure if that o-ring is compatible between the ACE and 4tec. I would buy a used water pump on ebay for $25 shipped and take the o-ring off and use it. That joint has always been a problem on 4tecs because it cracks...

Yes, press mode while the check engine light is on, until you see a fault codes menu, press set and arrows to see the codes. If you shut it off, good chance the codes will no longer be active and the fault codes menu will disappear.

Loose battery cables can cause that but they can also ruin your ECU. Very important to make sure they are clean and tight.

You need to get the codes that it displays for us to help. The ski will pretty much tell you what is wrong with itself and at a minimum point you in the right direction to fixing it with the codes. As I noted above, the ski needs flashed and married to the cluster for the cluster and the...

That damage is typical of sc failure where the sc gear breaks and/or sc bearing failure. My guess would be that the sc failed and they did take the pto housing off and cleaned it out. If you don't find any evidence of broken ceramic washers or damage created from those, that is a good thing...

That oil filter has more than typical but if the oil hasn't been changed in a long time that is what it will look like. You should check with a magnet to see if all of that is steel. Steel slivers and specks are normal, aluminum is not.

probably, but none that I deal with

Only half of the display works because it has to be flashed and married with BUDS for it to work properly. All the China ones are made by the same factory and distributed to many resellers.

So you don't even need to pull the engine and take anything apart, just flip'er over? Sounds like pretty bad advice.

Metal shavings in the oil filter is normal. Every time its started the bendix gets slammed into the flywheel which causes metal shavings. I'd inspect front oil pump first to see if you have remnants of the ceramic washers which you will find in the screen before pulling the motor. Engine can...

Are they scratches or residue from the protective plastic that the dealer didn't clean very well? If they are scratches, I'd take it right back.

Wow, that's a pretty high price for a 2009 GTI. You should be able to get a 2012+ with ibr for that money. What part of the country are you in? The rattling sound was probably the pump and pretty normal for all seadoos.

Torx racing can supply what you need. You can send your ECU to them and they can sort of test it by checking the file and see if it can be reflashed.

Yes, it could definitely be a bad post. Does it help if you put key on hard and fast after the ECU is woke up? The single beep is telling you the key is not connected properly or that's what it thinks. Yes, using programming, the DESS can be disabled with the correct software but this still...

Fuel pump will never run until you get 2 beeps. It may not be recognizing your keys as being programmed to the ECU. It completes the circuit when any key is put on which is why you should try another key that isn't programmed to your ECU and see if it does the same exact same thing. I do...
