So if my receipt says my warranty replacement engine is:


That's definately the "reman" engine and not a new one?

 

I'm fairly sure they usually use re-manufactured engines most of the time on the warranty replacements.

 

99% of the time you will get a Reman Engine. before you(or anybody) gets pissed off, most if not all auto manufacture does that.

The only time you get a brand new one is when the reman is out of stock and won't be back for weeks.

But even brand new engines can fail. ask some people here. it happens.

so yea, don't feel too bad for a Reman.

 

Re-manufactured for sure! Mazda will not give us new engines...i don't think so!

 

Except when they do replace with new... Mine is 100% brand new short block from JP Mazda. How do I know? Straight from the tech at the reman plant who comfirmed the SN and gave me compression test numbers.

 

There is another exception!

If the car has never been titled (sold), and the motor happens to be bad, it gets a NEW engine not reman. For example if the car is on the dealers lot with an engine knock, the dealer has to install a new engine or else the car has to sold as USED. At least that's my experience in California.

 

LOL, well I'm happy so far with mine (assuming it is), though I haven't pushed my luck with it much yet (all of 160 miles now).

I even wonder if a reman might be a potential advantage, if they might do something differently when assembling remans, knowing what they know now about the early failures.

 

I'll take a re-built motor over a new one 10 out of 10 times.

 

May I ask why?

 

I'm no expert but I do study every day and I've rebuilt 2 motors so far :D Not the most experience I know, maybe MM or OD can chime in. I have just always felt like a used motor has visible weak spots that are fixed or replaced and the result is a better all around motor. Maybe I just talked to people with different experiences.

 

^ crazy talk. A rebuild is as only good as the rebuilder and the condition of the used parts being used. Deciding which parts should or should not be reused is totally up to the builder and what one would reuse another would not in some cases. A brand new motor will have all new everything. But IMO, anyone getting a rebuilt engine that has some decent miles should replace the oil injectors and OMP lines.

 

Just ordered my reman fro. Mazdatrix! Excited can't wait to put it in my 8 and she can roar again. Missed her!!!!

 

how much will it cost you after shipping? also, did you have to ship your engine to them first?

 

Wtf? U ordering a mazda reman from mazdatrix?

Why didnt u just get a reman from mazmart directly? Im sure their engines will be better than mazda reman

Mazdatrix is probably the last place i will go to for mazda parts. I

 

It was 3k but if I take my core which I will do when I pick it up from them, they will refund 1k back.

 

They didn't have any. Why is it the last place? Bad experience?

 

dont mazda re-mans have a blue tag or something like that on the keg?

 

Yes
