    Default help please

    ok so i got a new car the other week its a vt v6 when i went to look at the car it had a big missfire and the sales person said it was due to the car being detailed so i said if they can fix the problem i will take the car so they got back to me and said it was the coil packs and leads so they replaced them and on my way home with the car it started to play around again so my mate looked at the car and said it has a code 48 and 49 and said to replace the crank angle sensor so i did and it still was playing around so i have also replaced the battery ,fuel filter and cleaned the throttle body and the problem is still there and so are the codes

    symptoms are:hard to start
    ruff idle
    loss of power
    feels like its going to stall at times

    thanks josh

    if you by a car from a dealer i believe you get a 30 day warranty,
    i've never bought a car from a dealer but this is what i've heard so wouldn't hurt to look into it

    If a vehicle is more than 10 tears old or has more than 160000, no warranty applies in NSW. I'd still go back and ask them to fix it properly this time. If they refuse, let them know your problems are being discussed on this forum. They might take the hint if you let them know their name hasn't been mentioned YET!
