Hi all

We have a 2006 cdti, which until recently has been pretty reliable, however my GF and I have both noticed that there is a problem. when trying to accelerate (in any gear), occasionally the revs rise as you would expect, but there is no accelleration, then there is a jerk and the car accellerates and the revs drop accordingly. When driving the car this evening, I was in 4th gear at about 2,000rpm I pressed the accellerator, the revs increased to about 3,000rpm but my speed didn't then the car suddenly accellerated and the revs dropped (as I guess they would). this is an intermitent problem and does not appear to follow any pattern.

Is this a known issue or can anyone suggest what it may be.

Thanks

James

 

sounds to me like the automatic tranny is slipping...
or maybe if its a clutch the clutch is burnt and just slipping or the pressure plate is worn or damaged.

 

i agree with addiction 100%. that happened to me a while back, got my clutch replaced, and the thing was burned up lol. new clutch and it pulls just fine, no slipping.

 

does sound like a clutch slipping problem

 

Get a new clutch.

 

Have you checked the transmission fluid?

 

Thanks for the replies, it's booked into the dealership on thursday now, so we'll have to see what they about it.

thanks again

James
