Hi guys,
Hope everyone is coping with lockdown okay.
I was driving my 04 Stilo to work on Wednesday and as I was in 5th and pushing towards 60 it felt like the car just juddered and had no power under the accelerator. It only happened for a split second. I took it out of gear put it back in 5th and everyone thing seemed to be 'okay'.
I have been waiting for it to happen again so I can try and work out what it is.
Just now as I was driving home from work, as I got to 60 again in 5th the exhaust started firing out smoke and it felt like I was hitting a bit of a wall. Neutral again, and back into 5th and everything seemed 'okay' again.
Now obviously something is wrong and needs attention but just wanted to see if you guys had any ideas before I take it somewhere. My local and normal guy is shut at the moment so I fear it might be a KwikFit job.
Thanks if you can shed some light.
All the best!
