CHELSEA 11 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Hi Just an update on my car. About 4 weeks ago l was getting a knocking noise from my engine so sent it back to dealer who took it to there garage. I thought it was tappets but not so so they said instead of stripping the engine down they would put another engine in, so they did that they took it for a test drive but the engine they put in was worst than the one they took out. So now what they are going to do is put another engine in hopefully everything is fine with it. I only had the car for 2 months. It is a focus 1.6 zetec on a 10 plate.

AaronF Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 If you don't mind me asking, what kind of price is that going to work out to be with an engine swap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artscot79 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 hand it back sounds like you've got a potential money pit it'll be a salvage engine with unknown mileage they should also be renewing the belts etc if the new one fails you'll be left with a shed and no warranty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHELSEA 11 Posted May 1, 2016 Author Share Posted May 1, 2016 Hi The garage said that the engine they are putting in has done 40000 is there any way that l can check the mileage from the engine number. And what papers should l ask for about the engine. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyke Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 No you can only ask what warenty they will give on this unit, get it in writing showing your milage and how many miles they will fix it for. And what they will do if it fails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artscot79 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 they should be doing the timing belt and tensions they'll argue they don't need to but ide insist you also as said want a good warranty on the engine I personally would have got a refund on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
