I'm looking to fit a recon engine(or recon my engine) into my Mazda 6 Sport 52 plate. Just wondered if anybody had any recommended specialists to do this. I am based in Manchester. At the moment I have quite a few offers to do this, just wanted a trusted source. Any help greatly appreciated.

THANKS STEVE

I am doing this after my pistons and valves hit 3 weeks after Mazda Dealership changed my timing chain at only 55K!!!!! Been through hell with them and persuing this legally, as they say 'it is just one of those unfortunate things!!!' In the meantime any help would be appreciated.

 

I have a question, why would you have a timing chain replaced at 55K? What year and engine do you have?

 

It is a long story, but basically engine fault came up, dealership took in car and eventually diagnosed that the timing chain needed changing. I disputed this with them as extremely unusual but they insisted this was the problem and there was only one solution. I did post a previous thread to ask advice on this. Although it is very unusual at this mileage I decided not to mess about and allow a very costly repair at the dealership(thinking they would be the best to deal with this). Then 3 weeks later my pistons and valves hit and they are claiming that the two are not connected and they are taking no responsiblility! I have had an independent engineers report done on the vehicle which suggests the two are directly connected. Had unbelievable amount of problems with them. So now I'm at the point with a damaged engine and no car(for almost 3 months whilst disputing this and trading standards are looking into it). I am now at the point where I need to get it back on the road or a new car and looking at solutions. Any help greatly appreciated.

 

oh yes engine is 2.3 mazda 6 Sport and the year of the car is 2002. Mileage was about 55k.

Cheers Steve

 

If the dealer doesn't take responsibility I would contact a lawyer, and also contact Mazda directly.

 

I am in the process of court action(not really what I wanted to do but they have left me with no choice), trading standards are reviewing all the details. It is a shame because i really enjoyed driving that car. Really poor response from the Mazda Dealer. Shame because despite this I would purchase another, but just concerned over the service I have got from them. In the meantime it is just whether I get a engine fitted or a new car!
