new engine!!!
so ive been having alot of problems with my car and I finally took it in to the dealer for a compression check.(which was $175) A day later they called back and said they need to replace the two trailing spark plugs and coils for $150. At this time, I started thinking that they were gonna just have me pay to replace everything after they tested but the next day they told me that i lossed compression in rotor 2 which means im getting a new engine!!!
They said, and i quote, " your gonna have a engine with 0 miles on it"... So is this technically true?? If so, do they change my odometer to 0? (and sorry im a noob) How many new engine owners had problems later with their so called "new engines"?
thanks guys

Tach = RPM.
They won't reset your odometer, the odometer = KM on the CAR, not the motor.
It'll likely be a rebuild I think though. It's just as good as new, as the internals are brand new.
It will be just like having a new car though, engine wise. You'll need to do the break-in again.

Hmm, I think its time for you to ask them for a refund of everything that you've paid, cuz OBVIOUSLY the compression check was a fat lie, the coils and plugs u paid were not the cause. so yeah, if I were you, I will ask for a refund on those items.

unless you are really lucky, you will most likely get a Remanufacture engine from somewhere.

i lost compression on my 04 w 51k on it. did the plugs, coils, wires, and needed a new battery. its gonna be 1150 otd. the coils, plugs, and wires did not fix so i am getting a new motor. it has been running shitty for some time, but i am fine paying it, cuz i will have new plugs, wires, coils, and motor for a little over a grand. i just want it to run like the day i bought it. cant wait to drive it next week when i get it back.
