Sounds like you will be getting a new engine for free

I have an '04 as well and just received an addendum to the warrantee... The rotor core (including seals) is now covered for 96 months or 100,000 miles, whichever is first. Hopefully it's something that is still covered!

Let us know the results of the compression test.

I'm thinking about going to the dealer and getting a compression test done, and if anything is off, hopefully they will replace. I am getting a turbo shortly, so I better do that before I install it. My car runs great, but you never know.

Yeah, but I would have to have the car towed to Spokane for about $270 and then it would be up there for two or three weeks getting the new engine. Secondly, what if it died on me on a road trip, it seems like everyone's engine just goes all of a sudden, no warning.

True though, it isn't so scary bad anymore, definately a lot cheaper.

grats snake! It's awesome to see the new Engine Warranty working for people.

They don't do compression checks for free.

And about the towing, I believe I saw that is covered too if it was a fault of what is covered under the warrantee that you broke down.

snakes666

Oh yes , i will ask them for the towing , could be nice and do you know about them giving me a car during the time that i dont have mine ???

If the tow was done via roadside it is reimburssed upon determination of power train failure. If you didn't tow it back with roadside you might have a fight on your hands.

snakes666

what do you mean road side , for the tow i called a company johnsons wreck or something and they come to get the car where the car stopped and brought it to the dealer .....

I mean Mazda Roadside Assistance vs a random tow company.

question, when your motor blows and they replace it under the warranty what if that new motor some how blows? does the warranty cover the new motor they put it for 100k miles/96 mo. ?

Old Rotor

The warranty covers the engine from the purchase date to 96 months or 100K miles which ever comes first..it dose not start again when you get a rebuilt motor.

There has to be a min. warranty on the engine though. 20K-30K miles maybe? I dunno. They would have to warranty the engine core for some time I would think even if it weren't under the power train anymore.

Old Rotor

Probably 12 mo. or 12K miles....
