Dillz Three pedals are better then two.. Donating Members 15,637 Member For: 18y 18d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 02/12/10 09:37 PM Share Posted 02/12/10 09:37 PM Engine light? Run away..Oh and dealer warranties (not factory warranties) arn't worth the paper there written on. Yeah make sure you get one but don't consider it a main factor when negotiating or expect much from it when something breaks.

seduced Need more power. Now taking donations. Member 753 Member For: 16y 3m 17d Gender: Male Posted 02/12/10 11:09 PM Share Posted 02/12/10 11:09 PM (edited) yep. what he said. most dealers will cover up to $1k or $1.5k for each warranty claim only. You have to have them fix it, and all your servicing has to stay with them or its void. Basically, they will rip you off fixing it, and then rip you off again servicing it. And they could start replacing all sorts of gear 'trying' to fix the engine light problem, racking up a $6k bill...oh, but they'll cover $1.5k of that under "warranty".Run away. Far far away. And never return....

ryanlok Member 15 Member For: 14y 6m 18d Posted 02/12/10 11:18 PM Author Share Posted 02/12/10 11:18 PM yeah I was like a bit iffy on that light...the warranty though allows me to go to my mechanics and labour and parts are included...also on the topic, what could cause the engine light to come on for future reference?

Donating Members 15,637 Member For: 18y 18d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 02/12/10 11:41 PM Share Posted 02/12/10 11:41 PM I'd be looking at all that stuff as things you don't necessarily want, and that it will cost you to have them removed. that's what I would be telling the dealer anyway.

ryanlok Member 15 Member For: 14y 6m 18d Posted 03/12/10 12:09 AM Author Share Posted 03/12/10 12:09 AM I've told the dealer about these problems now they say they will recitify the issue, but if that light still comes on I most likely turn the deal down...but can anyone tell me why that light might come on, and only when at full throttle?....could it be overheating or not enough air etc?
