8 Year Engine Warrenty
 
Can Anyone Tell Me If The 8 Year Engine Warrenty Covers A New Engine? Im Just Worried That Im Gonna Have To Replace It

Mazurfer 01-04-2009 10:59 AM

That's why they call it an "8 year Engine warranty". BTW.......it will be a reman, not a "new" engine. Why you think you need one? Be specific

Hey, that's pretty neat PS. How did you track that thread down? Isn't there a way they can keep them at the top of forums? I've also heard rumors of this other site feature that lets you qualify one or more posts based on specific criteria.

Imagine that.

If you call within the next 15 minutes, I'll throw in BOTH of those features for $19.95 + S&H!!!

you my friend are an idiot, just beacuse your friends engine went out at 47k doesnt mean they all do

tubingchamp 01-04-2009 12:56 PM

There are quite a few 100,000+miles renesis driving around..

If you treat your engine like crap, don't change the oil, don't top it up, don't redline it, then yeah, your engine will probably die abit early.. Then there are the random lemons, like every car.

My dads 300C 5.7L Hemi lasted 42K KM. (23K miles or so)

TRY READING SOME OF THE POSTS THERE BUDDY, THERE ARE LIKE 40 PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF HAVING REPLACED ENGINES, AND THATS NOT A REASON TO WORRY?

You haven't said what is going on with your car that is causing you to worry.

Yes, '04 ATs tend to have their fair share of issues.

And INSTEAD OF WASTING TIME TYPING IN CAPS AND ARGUING HERE, you could have read through the massive thread stickied at the very top of this forum about the 8-year warranty!! :uhh:

ShellDude 01-04-2009 01:17 PM

this is only going to get worse. hossg, check out one of the warranty threads. it's probably best this thread be closed.

04RX8man 01-04-2009 01:19 PM

Thanks you but I have read post ok so what ur saying is 40 ppl have had engine trouble(which is not very big number compared to the number sold) and those that had problems probably do not know anything about the rotary or how they need to have oil checked and have more maintenance than their normal HONDA that everyone is used to.....everyone lives by just put gas in it and go no other maintenance needed.....

If ppl that have engine troubles did do the correct maintenace then there is a possibilty of a Lemon especially in the 04's since it was the first year of the car and there are always kinks that need worked out as with everycar....

Anyway y are you worried if ur still in warranty what do you care if you need a new engine if u get one that means that u just have longer to enjoy your 8 and it's free it's not like ur throwing down all this money for a new engine....

Search the board some more then come back and tell ME to read Trust me I have since LONG before i was a member and I still search and read to this day!

hossg 01-04-2009 01:19 PM

oh sorry i didnt even realize i was in caps

alnielsen 01-04-2009 01:27 PM

First of all, there are a lot more than 40 people that have had to have their engines replaced. I have had 3 replaced so far. And, if you think it's just people that don't know rotaries, take a look at my sig.

04RX8man 01-04-2009 01:33 PM

No as I said above ALOT of engine replacements are from ppl that don't know them I am not saying the rotary is the perfect motor but it is getting better by far! There are still it's downfalls and problems hence y u (a long time rotary owner) has had problems it's nothing u did just a design problmem

However there are ppl that had problems with this car that probably do not even know they had a rotary engine. Also i know there were more than 40 ppl that had engines replace that what Mr. Hoss said so I just let him go because just by him saying 40 we all know he did not search!

ShellDude 01-04-2009 01:37 PM

I read earlier that PotatoSoup is running a special on searches today...

hossg 01-04-2009 01:46 PM

i was just giving a rough estimate, baiscally what i was saying is that a lot of the 04's have to be replaced, im just nervous cause i spent my life savings on this car and i cant afford a new engine

I cannot tell you how sad it made me to read this.

greg985 01-04-2009 01:49 PM

if your engine goes out within 8 years or 100k miles then it will be replace under warrenty free of charge

04RX8man 01-04-2009 01:54 PM

WARRANTY that is what it's there for for 8 years or 100,000 miles if your engine goes(unless u turbo or S/C or somehow void the engine warranty) it is covered for FREE

Don't be sad. Be happy that you're following your passion, and feel sorry for the wimps.

Yeah, you can factor in random lemon engines and dealership screwing stuff up on replacing them, etc for about 1/4 of the replaced ones.

You'd be surprised how many people have had new engines that ARENT on this forum.

Mazurfer 01-04-2009 03:31 PM

I think we might be surprised at how many engines got changed that didn't really need it as well. Not sure, but...................seems like there was a rash of that for awhile.

04RX8man 01-04-2009 04:52 PM

yeah it seemed right around when i got mine u heard of alot more thna you do now!!!

rexybrad 09-03-2009 10:44 AM
