Just so you know, your car has no cylinders and some people here will be very harsh or make fun of you if you ever repeat that statement. Paul. |

Epic thread is epic.

Cylinders?...Really?...lol...Wow...I don't even know what to say to that...Why don't you have them check your timing belt while you're at it...
|
Ok the dealer customer service guy said cylinders wich I thought was odd. Not saying I'm an expert I just repeated what I was told was issue
|
Time to find a new dealer.
|
pretty sure by "cylinders" he meant the faces of the rotors ... our cars have 2 rotors, 3 faces each, so 6 faces or "cylinders" (technically they do the job of a cylinder/piston)..
he was running a compression test and probably thought you knew absolutely zero about a rotary engine so maybe he was trying to dumb it down for you how many miles are on the car, do you still have the warranty? |

Is it a Mazda dealership? That's a bummer if it is... |
