| Description of the problem | I was driving my car down the road about 2 miles away from my house it became hard to accelerate. The skid light, vsc light and check engine light all came on at once. I pulled over to the side of the road. I turned the car off started it back up it drove fine but the lights were still on. I contacted the dealership and took the car in. This was purchased as a dealer demo and has 36,000 miles on it. They told me there is water in my engine and the oil was milky. To me this sounded like a head gasket but they assured me they ran a test for that. They replaced the throttle body and the pcv valve claiming the valve was not working properly this was the cause for the water. I don't know if the part is still around or not. I hope this fixes the problem. They told me i should warm it up for 15 to 20 minutes a day which sounds a little weird to me being a fairly new car. |
