    Is a new turbo covered under my Mazda's warranty?

    Mazda Mazda Advice

    Got new motor from Mazda 12 months ago and now need a new turbo. Would this be covered under warranty? I was quoted over $9000 to fix.

    I'd need to know a bit more about this case to really know where you stand here. Was the whole engine (including the turbocharger) replaced at the same time? Or was the basic engine replaced and the existing accessories (such as the turbo) carried over form the original engine? If the latter is the case, then the turbo would not be covered by the new engine's warranty. But if it was all replaced as a brand-new engine, then you might find the turbocharger is, indeed, covered by the warranty.

    But here's where it gets a bit murky. You say the new engine was supplied by Mazda, so presumably, that was at a Mazda dealership. Did they fit a genuine Mazda replacement engine, or was it a reconditioned engine sourced independently? This, too, can have a huge effect on what warranty comes with the replacement engine and what's actually included in the warranty.
