| Oct 14, 2015 at 14:04 | comment | added | rana | When is the last time you changed your transmission fluid? I'd change the fluid and see if things improve. | |
| Oct 14, 2015 at 13:19 | comment | added | Paramone | @HandyHowie That actually sounds like a potentional answer. It feels like either the fluid to low, or a bit solid-ish? For example a bit frozen? I'm not sure if that's even possible however. Also, sometimes it takes a bit long to get the engine to actually start. It'd take a second or 10-15 to actually start up. It usually goes faster when I tap the pedal a bit. | |
| Oct 14, 2015 at 12:56 | comment | added | HandyHowie | It sounds like the fluid in the torque converter is initially low and it is taking a minute or so for the pump to fill it with fluid. See if anyone else has any thoughts. | |
| Oct 14, 2015 at 12:46 | comment | added | Paramone | It'd rev up to 2.5-3k , using around 70L/h going only 5-10 km/h max | |
| Oct 14, 2015 at 12:46 | comment | added | Paramone | @HandyHowie Yes yes, sorry. Correct, it revs more than it should for the speeds it's going. | |
| Oct 14, 2015 at 12:43 | comment | added | HandyHowie | Sorry, you miss-understand. I was asking if the engine revs up more than you would expect for the speed you are going. | |
| Oct 14, 2015 at 12:39 | comment | added | Paramone | @HandyHowie Yeah, Ofcourse I don't rev it alot, because I know it's still cold, but indeed it feels like it's not connected to the gearbox | |
| Oct 14, 2015 at 12:36 | comment | added | HandyHowie | When "it barely moves" is the engine revving a lot, but it is as though the engine is not connected to the gearbox properly? | |
