Engine Mounts

I am getting my 30,000 mile service done on my car tomorrow, hoping that it will dissolve my idleing issue. However, if that does not help my idle, then I am going to have to resort to my next option: my Engine Mounts.

I know there was a TSB on the Engine Mounts. I was wondering, would the TSB fall under the new Engine Warranty Mazda put out, or would it fall under the 3 year/36,000 mile warranty?

It was a 4 year / 50,000 mile warranty I think.

And no, the motor mount TSB isn't covered under the extended engine core warranty.

Everybody forgets about the 2006 Warranty Extension due to the later 100k mile engine warranty that got all the press.

Search "mazda powertrain warranty extension ssp 67"

http://www.coremazda.com/tsb/rx8/pow...-extension.pdf

Basically the engine mounts are listed as covered under this 60 month/60k mile warranty.

(to mods) Can we add a sticky thread with the warranty extension ssp 67 info here somewhere? It can be hard to find if you don't know what you look for.

Hi I just joined the forum and had my 75,000 service today with a engine mounts advisory!

£130 per mount seems totally unrealistic!

Any help with this cos although I keep reading about extended warranty's for the engine's. or is there a cheaper alternative rather using my mazda garage?

The cost seems realistic if it is in pounds, it is what we pay here.
There are some oem parts retailers here that you may want to contact, they often have used parts as well in like-new conditions
If your car is out of warranty you really have no reasons to keep going to your mazda dealer as well, they tend to be a bit pricey for services etc.

Yes it is in pounds. The car currently has full Mazda service history hence why I still use Madza to service it!

Cheers for the advise and I will check out those parts asap and get a local cheaper garage to fit them
