My 182 Sounds a Little Strange...

[Leo182]

when i boot it and put my foot on the gas - all the way to the floor it then suddenly revs up on it's own WTF!! only does it now and again for half a sec or so but it's beginning to annoy me now.

Any ideas?

Cheers.

At what sort of Revs or Speed??

Slipping clutch?

Thats what a clutch would do when slipping, so maybe that.

Wheelspinning ?

Any revs and any speed! very strange, although not in 1st gear i have noticed.

I can be cruising in say 2nd gear or 3rd then boot it to the floor and it will rev on it's own for a sec then carry on as before.

I would take it in but it's out of warrenty - just, only done 20k aswell.

Wheelspinning, no. It is fine driving 'normally' ie, not putting the foot to the floor.

If the speed ins't going up with it then the clutch has to be slipping. or the noise ins't the car reving up.

I'd say it deffo is 99% certain the car is revving i hear and feel it through my right foot, as to the speed increasing or not, it's hard to say as it barely lasts long enough to notice. I would say though, it seems as though the car takes over for that split sec.

New clutch is it if it's due to the slipping??
