Hi guys,
got a few issues that hopefully you guys can help identify them. I went down to PML for several times already and each time, they either claim it is normally or cannot detect the issue. If you guys have come across these issues and have resolved it somehow, I would rather trust the wisdom of fellow brothers than those SA. My car has so far clocked only 1500km since a month ago I took possession.
1) Sudden high revs but no power
have you guys encountered this? Occassionally, while traveling slowly up slope with rpm hovering around 1200rpm, it will sometimes rev up to 2500+ but the car has no power. But a stop after this will restore power.
2) When slow crawling amidst heavy traffic, sometimes you feel as if the clutch did not disengage properly when you ease off the gas pedal. It is like doing some engine braking while downshifting like that
3) During idle, I can hear some flapping/tapping kind of sound from engine. Sometimes very loud but sometimes it is quite muffled. But when I depress the gas pedal, you can hear the engine rev ok and that noise disappears.
The result of all these is that the car is not pleasant to drive slowly, especially during heavy traffic which unfortunately is becoming a staple in our roads.
Thanks,
Shaun
