Hi Folks,
Before i bought my car (1 week ago). I made sure the garage fitted a new clutch as it was making a funny sound when changing gears.
I was told this was done and the car felt great driving away from the garage. Then i started noticing something wasn't right.
The car seems to pull strong until about 70-80mph when it just runs out of steam. When cruising along at 40-50mph when i touch the accelerator a little but just to maintain speed i am welcomed with a whirring grinding noise.
Now i was told i have a 1 month warranty on mechanics from the garage i bought the car from. I am looking to you guys to point me in the right direction of what it could be and where i stand with the garage. I have already been told of one mechanic that it could be the flywheel as this may not have been replaced with the clutch.
I just cant under stand why the car runs out of steam but i dont feel anything slipping.
Car is a 56 plate B7 Avant 2.0 TFSI Special Edition.
Cheers for any pointers as i am royally crapping it that i may have bought a ****** car....
