Hey
I have a new (well, 6 months old now) ForFour with only 4000 miles on the clock. This last week its been behaving oddly - one day, I had trouble pulling away in first gear (its manual, by the way) and had to switch the engine off, then turn it on before it would go.
Then its been getting really sluggish, and the other day tried to stall on me when I had my foot flat to the floor of the clutch
. At times it sounds like its in really high revs, but it isnt (or at least the rev counter isnt displaying high revs) and it is so slow and unrespnsive at times, I'm flooring it simply so it will move.
Other times, it's fine, but it's been getting worse and worse. It's booked in to Smart of Lakeside on Friday, as it has other minor problems (an alarm that goes off consistently at 1am, and reverse gear that is a total bugger!! :censor: ) but this seems more serious. Any ideas of what it can be? And how long this might take to fix? I'm worried that it will go in and not seem at all problematic for them, and then they wont do any work. It's still under guarantee for all the work thats done to it, so I'm not concerned about how much work they'll do ... just how little!!
?
What do you think of these problems I'm having with it? Have you had anything like this?
I'd appreciate any comments, thanks :thanx:
