#1: 70mph!! Author: adamjb, Location: UKPosted: Wed Feb 23, 2011 5:29 pm ---- Hey guys, I know i have a problem I just wondered if any one may know what it is. My mate will be looking soon anyway but wondering if its linked.
The original problem was recently driving when I had the "automated electric system management" failure light come on. (I think thats what it said it was.. been a while)
Anyway i was driving at bout 70mph and lost drive down to 50mph. I called the AA and they did some tests and said that the actuator or sumit on the clutch pedal was slippin out.. and put it in safe mode which is why it limited to like 50mph.. only happens every now and then.
The other problem I have know had which im not sure whether already happened or is linked is that she now struggles to get to 70mph.. i believe se is 1.9 turbo so obviously some problem there.. just wondered if its linked or anyone has any ideas.. some mates said clutch may be on way out?
Cheers for help..

2.0 hdi was turbo
If it's the 1.9 then a wouldn't be surprised there a shocking lump and whoever made it needs a slap

thats good enough...
i notice driving on an hour when goin up gear just doesnt seem to make difference.. its like im on a gradual slow journey up the gears lol

its ok in low gears.. up to third.. then struggles from there..
Thinkin about it now I used to be ok till 70 and then she kicked an felt like she wanted to go quicker..an had some acceleration under her.. but thats gone.. she'l only go above 70 if going down hill.. and worse thing is if goin up hill she actually loses the speed .. not good on a motorway! cant hold it.

just wondered as for a clutch fault it should just get worse not be intermitent and you say the EML warning light came on which the AA said something about clutch pedal and an actuator??
Im just curious as i have never known this fault occur as im unaware of an actuator on the pedal except the clutch switch that tells the ECU when the clutch is disengaged, this going wrong could cause limp home mode to kick in, depending on age of car.
let us know what needed fixing to cure these faults
