turbodreams Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 basically when the car hits 4000 revs, when driving, its revvs really quickly and jumps to 7000rpm, but feels as if the car is not gaining speed, usually around 80mph. The the revvs jump all the way between 5 to 6 then to 7000 Revs! but the car didnt gain any speed! i then slowed right down, then took it back upto 80 and onto 90, without that problem, however, later on, it started happening again. Basically, when driving, the car revvs feels weird after about 3k, and onto 4000rpm and after that, like the car is in neutral and my foot is on the accelarator. The gears arent popping which i thought it was at first.hope you understand what i mean! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

turbodreams Posted November 1, 2008 Author Share Posted November 1, 2008 what does that mean is it expensive to fix aswell if it is that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 I'm not 100% sure but:At low revs/low boost the engine isn't making enough power to make the clutch slip, but as the power comes in at higher revs it slipssomething along those lines I should imagine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paul w Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 new clutch needed.Can be up to £300+fitting to buy a decent uprated clutch, note not the 30% uprated shite off ebay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
addz Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I had similar symptoms when i carried a service on my Glanza replacing: OilOil filterRotor armDizzy capHT leadsSpark plugs.Straight after the service took the motor for a quick spin, revs were going up before the speed & car wasnâ??t moving.Got worried so went home connected the boost solenoid back to how its supposed to be (had it by passed)Reset the ECU & everything is working ok touch wood.Very scary when this happens as the clutch is the culprit.

joe-ep91 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Definately sounds like a slipping clutch mate. It will probably start slipping when the turbo starts spooling due to more speed and more revs asked for. I went for the CAP paddle clutch from USA. Only about £110.Hope you get it sorted mate.Joe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbodreams Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share Posted November 4, 2008 cheers thanks. I also noticed, that today when i switched the car on, it was idling at 1.5k revs. then when i switched my heater on from OFF to LOW, the revs jumped to 2k. idle.Any ideas?

Asad Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 thats normal mate the car was probs cold thats why, my N/A jumps to 2k after 5days of standing there n then falls to 750-1k when its warmed up at halfway.as for the heater its just compensating for the extra power drain as it were....just wait till cars nice n warm before you drive off or take it nice n easy till it warms up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbodreams Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share Posted November 4, 2008 ah, that was pretty obvious if i just thought about it lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 same effect when you have your headlights on n put the heaters on full...the headlights will flicker, or when you pull both elc windows up together you notice the dash lights dim ever so slightly......think its just the poor earthing in the ep`s which causes it. An earthing kit should sort it if ya really worried Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_Ragger Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Revs suddenly rising when the engine is under load is more often than not, due to a dead or dying clutch.It will only get worse so get it sorted before it finally gives up completely.Go for a clutch thats rated for the power youre looking to handle, dont spunk money on a paddle if you dont need it, you'll only regret trying to drive it and the waste of cash.Think about what youre using the car for, trackdays, drag , fast road, daily commuting etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
