182 Flat Spot

[Paulie]

I seem to have a flat spot on the revs just below 3k in every gear, it seems to loose power for a split second. Anyone had this problem before, and know what it is?

Cheers.

Im using 95ron petrol at the moment because i refuse to pay the price of premium petrol, robbing barstewerds. Ive also run the tank right down to empty a couple of times, could this affect it?

Unlikely

Does it do it when hot or when cold? Or both

Check the plugs for any obnormalities

 

[Paulie]

To be honest i havnt really gave it a good run for a while, the trips i make are normally 10-15 minute drives at most, so have only noticed it when it is cold.

have to wait for it to warm up mate, all of them do that when cold.

Mine only does it for the first 2/3 mins though, not 10/15.

Plugs or Coil pack??

 

[Dave-Clio]

yeah mine is a bit the same esp when cold, im not sure its anything bad but the way it pulls when coming into the power makes up for it.

I only get it when cold. It did do it alot worse before i changed the plugs. Try some new1s or give the 1s in place a good clean.
