#1: Accelerating, High revs low power Author: Yoshii, Location: West BromwichPosted: Thu Feb 09, 2012 3:33 pm ---- Hello everyone, i have hit my first problem on my 206!
Just recently i went for a drive and the car didnt feel right, put it into 2nd gear and put my foot down but the car just wont move like before :/.
Never happend before! The rev meter is on 4 or 5 but the car just goes up in speed slowly, dont feel powerful no more :(.
One of my friends said it was a problem with the clutch and i think so too, your views will be welcome.
Also when i start up my car and its in neutral, the rev meter aint on 0 its half way between 0 & 1, quiet odd.
My car is 1.4 sport 16v 2005

Other proble could be a few different things. When was the car last serviced?
#3: Re: Accelerating, High revs low power Author: Yoshii, Location: West BromwichPosted: Thu Feb 09, 2012 3:48 pm ---- Oh ok, ummm about a year ago
#4: Re: Accelerating, High revs low power Author: Martind, Location: Woolsery, North DevonPosted: Thu Feb 09, 2012 3:49 pm ---- When your car is on idle it should be reving between 500-1000 revs.
Is the clutch slipping?
#5: Re: Accelerating, High revs low power Author: Matt, Posted: Thu Feb 09, 2012 3:52 pm ---- A year ago , how many miles since last service?
#6: Re: Accelerating, High revs low power Author: Yoshii, Location: West BromwichPosted: Thu Feb 09, 2012 3:58 pm ---- i think 10 - 12,000
Yh Martin thats what 1 of my mates said but aint too sure :/
#7: Re: Accelerating, High revs low power Author: Yoshii, Location: West BromwichPosted: Thu Feb 09, 2012 3:58 pm ---- Im dur for an MOT at the end of this month aswell
#8: Re: Accelerating, High revs low power Author: Martind, Location: Woolsery, North DevonPosted: Thu Feb 09, 2012 4:09 pm ---- When you are driving and it revs high, when you ease off the gas, does it (hard to explain) sort of jolt/catch (like an automatic changing gear) and if you put too much power down in too high a gear, does it just rev?
When you have been letting the car do this for a while, does it smell bad? Sort of cabbagey?
To see if your clutch is slipping, go out and start it. Leave the handbrake on, stick it in 4th.
Slowy start lifting the clutch.... When it gets to biting point, does the back of the car dip and revs drop like it will stall if you release clutch?
Or does it slip?
#9: Re: Accelerating, High revs low power Author: Matt, Posted: Thu Feb 09, 2012 4:19 pm ---- Best bet is get it serviced and see how it is after that.
#10: Re: Accelerating, High revs low power Author: Yoshii, Location: West BromwichPosted: Thu Feb 09, 2012 4:19 pm ---- When i put too much power it will jus rev for about 10 seconds then i ease off a bit then i start picking up speed, hard to explain :/
Ok i will try it 2moro morning and will let you know mate.
#11: Re: Accelerating, High revs low power Author: Matt, Posted: Thu Feb 09, 2012 4:22 pm ---- Could be coil pack or injectors...
I have a similar problem. I'm just in the process of getting a new coil pack to see if that helps it at all.
#12: Re: Accelerating, High revs low power Author: Yoshii, Location: West BromwichPosted: Thu Feb 09, 2012 4:22 pm ---- Hmm my best bet is to probably get it serviced yh ...
#13: Re: Accelerating, High revs low power Author: Matt, Posted: Thu Feb 09, 2012 4:25 pm ---- I would say so yea.
#14: Re: Accelerating, High revs low power Author: Martind, Location: Woolsery, North DevonPosted: Thu Feb 09, 2012 4:28 pm ---- Let me know how you get on checking the clutch, because what you have just said sounds like the clutch is slipping.
Might as well check it, seeing as that is free to do. It would be silly to spend money on parts when you haven't ruled that out.
Get a local mechanic to take it round the block, more than likely do it for free if it is a small 1man band type garage.
