I think I will need a new engine in Calgary...
My 8 is having hot start issues,
from what I read on the forums, some people seem to suggest a new starter and some say its a compression issue and will need a new engine.. My concern is that my 04 is from the US, I have 73xxx kms. Under the 100,000 mile engine warranty from the US... Have you guys heard of any dealerships honoring US engine warranty? If not how much does it usually cost for a new engine in calgary? Thanks |
Sorry no idea.
And in case you hadn't noticed, no one in Calgary frequents this board anymore :( Too bad... we were all such a great crowd! |

yea it seems like it died down a little...
im considering driving to montana to get serviced :dunno: |
Before I got my car, I wondered the same thing. I called the guys at http://www.rotaryengine.com/ and they told me around $3,500. That was some time ago though...

What happened?

I am getting a compression test done tmrw,
according to my contact at north hill mazda, they will cover my engine even though the car is from the us, he just said it'll take some paper work.. So let's hope I do get a new engine under warranty...otherwise im going to have to make a trip to montana... |
Update: so one of my rotors compression is at 6.7, the other at 6.3
They replace engines if below 6.9..(Compression on a new engine is 10:1) They've started the paper work, I'm glad mazda camada will take care of this and saves me a trip to montana... |
Johnny - which dealer did you go to?
|
^ how much was the compression test?
|
i think the test is about $50

CALGARIANS!
I'm trying to re-liven-up (if that's even a word) the Calgary RX-8 crowd since I will be getting mine mid to late May. There's a thread up -> https://www.rx8club.com/canada-forum-35/alberta-rx-8-sightings-193716/ for the Calgary sightings and maybe we could use it as a Calgary people meeting place? |

Do you have to be the first owner to get this warranty? I bought mine used in Texas. Its getting hard to start and it has low end acceleratio issues/ wierd vibration...

OP what symptoms did you get to prompt you with the engine issue?
Im at 110KM and Mazda NA powertrain warranty is 160KM/100K miles. I wonder if i can get a new engine lol |
Update: So Mazda Canada wanted previous maintenance history. (I have history at North Hill since 30k kms). So I called Mazda USA and with dealer codes where other recalls were done found 2 dealerships. Got some record from one, the other had gone out of business so no luck getting records.
I told this to service manager and he said he will try to talk to Mazda.. Just called me this morning to tell me they will need to do more tests, (Cam and vacuum? ) so I will be taking her in monday morning. I thought Rotaries don't have cams... do they? Symptom: Car would not restart after engine was warmed up, it takes 15-30 minutes to cool down before being able to restart. Prior to this I had coils/plugs/wires replaced, as well as a new battery. Next would have been a new starter (although it starts like a champ when cool) but compression test obviously explains why it wont start when hot. |
