Signs that your vehicle may be experiencing engine trouble include higher than normal fuel consumption or oil consumption, usually noticeable through the presence of a persistent oil leak. A blown head gasket is also a very clear indicator of something wrong with your cooling system and that may have affected the engine block, requiring a full engine replacement.
If the check engine light is on, then our technicians have specialist equipment designed to read what the engine management system has identified as a problem. Through checking the error code that it presents, we can identify exactly what needs to be addressed instantly. Your mechanic will quote you on the repair cost for things like your transmission or the need for a full rebuild and then proceed with the work once you have approved our quote.
In most circumstances the cost for a full engine replacement will usually outweigh the actual market value of the vehicle itself and so prove too expensive. New engines can easily reach into thousands of dollars. However, if your vehicle is an older make and model and you have access to a reconditioned engine or a second hand engine in good condition then the cost of an engine replacement make actually prove to be more economical.
In addition to replacing the engine, you will also likely need to have a range of other components replaced as well including parts like the timing belt or timing chain, pulleys and water pump. Engine gaskets might also need to be replaced and an oil change and filter replacement may also need to be done. You may also need to re-gas the air conditioning system which may have been disconnected and drained when the old car engine was removed. All of these factors will likely affect whether you believe it to be more economical to undergo an engine replacement or not.
Of course, you may find that in the process of a thorough mechanical inspection by one of our qualified technicians that a full engine replacement may not be necessary. Your mechanic may be able to repair your existing engine to reduce the cost of a rebuild and keep your motor running for a little bit longer. Of course, if the car is a special make and model, then the market value may not always indicate how valuable the car really is and your own personal love for your car may be enough to justify a full engine replacement.
Our quote will include a full breakdown of the work we believe needs to occur, including the cost of consumables required like fluids.
Purchasing a second hand engine for your old car is absolutely possible. There are few things which you should consider such as the number of kilometres the engine has already travelled and ideally you will want an engine with less kilometres on it than the one you are replacing. You should also consider the condition of the rest of your vehicle before you commit to an engine replacement. If it is quite an old car then the body condition may not justify replacing the engine at all. If the rest of the vehicle is in great condition and likely to last you the same amount of time as your reconditioned motor then it may be worth the cost of a full engine replacement.
Our work comes with a standard 12 month/20 000km warranty and for more information regarding exactly what is covered by that warranty, please contact our customer service team.
