1.8 Auto GEARBOX problem

Postby WeeScottyBhoy » Sat Oct 27, 2012 7:27 pm

Alright lads,

Got the 1.8 auto petrol, however I was driving up the hill today and was a loss of power ... Sometimes it goes fine, and changes gears no problem but a bit indecisive as to what gear to select when I put the foot down.

At one point i thought I wasn't making it up the hill!

any ideas lads?

Thanks

Just done the TC test and engine stalls at 2300 revs, i believe this is normal?

I feel a bit silly, later that night the car cut off, seems it had run out of fuel ... put £25 in her and took her a good drive and gears seemed to be changing and selecting fine! ha, I still feel something isn't quite right though ...

Indeed. Change that 1.8 GS for a 2 litre V6 manual mivec and you'll notice a change.
97 Manual GPX. Icecelle Blue.
Other Stuff: Induction kit. Front Strut. Apex Lowered. 17" Kahns. Quad exhaust. HID lights. Glow dials and rings/cups. Black leather seats. Window tints. Sunroof.
