Indeed, get someone to press the fast pedal while you stand under the bonnet looking at the throttle cable, unless of course you have electronic throttle control in which case thats pointless

Have you noticed you car using significantly more fuel than usual at all?

 

[Limca]

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

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?

mayb clutch is slippin:S

cant be, its a new clutch/

i dont have a clue when it comes to technical s**t like this, but it changes gears fine. its only when i hit the acceleratorm all it does is over rev.

 

[kully]

cant b the throttle cable as u get revs shown mmmmmm , me not 2 technical minded either .

er clutch cable worn ? even though u had a new clutch .
failing that ..................call the AA man .:quiet: me aint got a clue

 

[Limca]

kool bro. ^^
help anyone................ ?????

 

[Martin_172]

was thinking fuked clutch but since you said its a new 1 then possibly a wrongly adjusted clutch cable?

 

[Dan@SJM]

so it revs, but doesnt go? or it doesnt rev atall? if it revs but doesnt go then the clutch is slipping.

i know the valver is a completly diff engine, but i had the same prob last week, thought it was a sticking throttle cable, but i took off the wiring on the idle control valve, cleaned it up cliped it back down n now its spot on.... just a thought...?

^^^ scrap that, just read it again, does sound like the clutch... release bearing/pressure plate?

 

[Limca]

that cars drives fine, no problem with gear changes, i can drive fast, just delays for a secound or too for the accelration to kick in.

all it does is over rev. shows on the dial going over 6. if that helps

 

[Dan@SJM]

does the engine actually rev or is the rev copunter just doing that. vids would help a shed load!

 

[Limca]

it over revs on the rev counter. and does delay by a second or 2 if i put my foot on the accelerator hard. then it goes fast. im confused. ill take it into a garage

 

[Martin_172]

so the engine doesnt actually rev to 6k but the rev counter shows it?

 

[Limca]

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

[Dan@SJM]

deffo sounds like the clutch. probly a sticky/fecked diaphragm plate.

Don't go Renault Enfield. THEY ARE SHYT!!

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.
