I have had my Grande Punto for just over a year now and since I bought it, when accelerating around 3000rpm I will lose a lot of power.
This normally for me is fine as I normally just drive around town and not too far.
I used the motorway at the weekend and it happened again, but this time it was a problem. I had 4 people in my car and when coming to hills, I was being overtaken by lorries!
I couldn't get more than 55/60mph out of the car uphill and dropping gears was giving me no extra power and by the top of the hill I was doing roughly 40mph.
On flat road I can still get 70-80mph but that's with my foot flat to the floor.
The problem goes when I turn my engine off and on again, but I can't do that whilst driving.
Any ideas?
