Hi guys,
I have a 2007 1.9 Sporting with 60,000 miles on the clock. I had a 4th year extended warranty which has now expired.
I left it in to the dealer before the warranty expired to get them to have a look at the gearbox as it was making an unusual noise in 2nd gear. Long story short, they didn't look at it in the end as it would have cost me almost £500 in labour charges if it wasn't covered under extended warranty. Didn't take the risk!
When driving home from the dealer, I noticed that the acceleration was really poor until I get to about 2,500 revs. THIS NEVER EVER HAPPENED BEFORE. Is this sheer coincidence that this happened on the way home from the dealer who insist they never even looked at the car (even though they had it for 5 hours)?
After looking on these forums, it seemed as if the EGR valve needed cleaning. I have had this cleaned today and got it back this afternoon. Absolutely no difference at all!
What the hell could it be? If the EGR needed replaced shouldn't the engine management light come on?
Really stuck with this one! It's a real nuisance and pretty dangerous when trying to negotiate roundabouts etc.
Thanks
