my cars over reving like a b!tch
- Thread starter Limca
- Start date
no no, im not putting the foot down heavy.
for some weird reason when i take off, its not picking up speed straight away, it delays for a second or more. you can see very high revs on the dial.
it goes over 6. does any of this makes any sense.?,
its reving so high like a b!tch when i put foot down, never did that before
.
ill take it too a garage i guess. fcuking annoying things happen to me

Have you noticed you car using significantly more fuel than usual at all?
well for the last few days, ive been near red when its come to petrol, ive only filled up £5 so it is coming up to red again. u recon its cos i havent put enough petrol in the tank, and this is why its happening?

was thinking fuked clutch but since you said its a new 1 then possibly a wrongly adjusted clutch cable?
so it revs, but doesnt go? or it doesnt rev atall? if it revs but doesnt go then the clutch is slipping.
does the engine actually rev or is the rev copunter just doing that. vids would help a shed load!

so the engine doesnt actually rev to 6k but the rev counter shows it?
think u might be right martin. i have no idea. im not a mehcanic. lol
the engine makes sounds that i am iver reving, u can tell wen u put the foot down. then the drive response becomes slow to get to 30mph in second gear for a second or 2. and it shows it going over 6k on the rev counter.
i bet ive confused u all,. lol

deffo sounds like the clutch. probly a sticky/fecked diaphragm plate.
A Euro'd one...
Sounds like a clutch. Could be clutch cable also. My bros been through 3 clutches in 6 months in his Golf as the clutch cable was knackered. Also you have to 'break' the clutch in for the first 500 miles, so if youve been ripping the sh!t out of your car it would have ruined the new clutch.
