Hi,
I bought an Au falcon after owning many Holden commodores and I must say it's a much better car. It's tough, drives and accelerates smoothly, low road noise and hugs the road and is more stable than the Commodore. The only problem I had was that it would not start when cold. I had to use the accelerator to get it going. But when The engine was hot it would just start straight away. I took the car to Ford at Newcastle and they said it was the fuel pump, fuel filter, etc. they charged me over $ 1200 dollars but never fixed the problem. I also noticed that they never replaced the fuel pump. I wanted to report them to the cops but just thought I will never take my car to ford again. I took the car to two other mechanics that could not fix the problem either. Cost $ 300, and $150. So now it;s cost me about $1650. And I still have the same problem. As a last resort I looked on this forum and found a post about the crank angle sensor causing a cold star problem. I got a new crank angle sensor for $40 and 10 minutes to fit it. The car starts first time every time now. I wish I had just read this forum before I spent so much time and money with so called professional mechanics. I love my Au III.
