So i have had my gorgeous V6 since March now and apart from a few niggly things she is lovely!
Just need to try and get my head around this... maybe im going mad but it seems as if my car has like "on/off" moments you know sometimes she flies along quite nicely and other times it seems as she is in a huff with me..
I'll explain
what i mean by huffy is:
- sometimes the acceleration is a bit choppy - when i get through the mid range she sort of flattens out then kicks back up again
- The accelerator pedal - while at speed (40-80mph) if i let my foot off the accelerator pedal too quickly it sort of comes off really quickly ... like a thud
- Soundtrack: on a good day she burbles like a V6 should and on bad days her song is comparable to that of a hyundai atoz.....
- Steering: sometimes it's light... sometimes it's heavy.... hmmmm
- Gears: sometimes it's a clunk.... other times its a nice smooth shift....
I don't get what's going on?! (please not the later two -gears and steering- not so much of an issue, its more the drivability thing im worried about)
I've noticed aswell after the cars been driven about a bit and you let the engine rest then turn her back on she goes back to her good old self.... i could drive her from cold for as long as i want and she goes in the huff but after if switch her off and back on again she goes back to normal....
If it helps i have ABS+EPS (no speedo) light issue aswell... so i dont know if the car is switching from crap mode to happy mode??
im really really confused!
any help would be great!
Thanks!
