Im new on this forum and I really hope you can help me

 

I have a problem with my Skoda Superb 2.0 Tdi 170hp  4x4 .

 

When Im closing in to a crossing and changing gears to 1st or 2nd and then accelerates through the crossing in kinda loses power for a brief moment.   

Only happens in sharp turns and/or crossings.    

 

It feels like it doesnt happen if I approach the crossing already driving in 1st or 2nd gear instead of gearing down right before.  

 

 

 

Manual or DSG gearbox?

Oh sorry forgot to write that kinda important detail :P     Its a manual gearbox.

How many km has the car done. Is the servicing up to date, a nice clean dry air filter fitted, has it had a new fuel filter?

Have you had it long or is it a recent purchase,

and has the car had 'The Fix' carried out so VW's new Engine Management?

10800km   Servicing up to date  (have to change oil soon .)    It's a recent purchase. 

Dunno about airfilter or fuel filter.   

 

But its only when starting in crossings and turning at the same time.  Never when going straight forward.

 

Im not sure about if it has had "The Fix" yet.  

There is the stating point then.

Air filter box opened and check condition of the Air Filter.  That will give an idea about how Servicing has been done.

Then get the Oil & Filter changed, maybe the fuel filter, and find out if your car has had 'The Fix'.  

Find out when and how long is still covered by the 24 month VW Group Trust Building Measure.

 

Check when the Haldex Servicing was done last, and if not known best have it carried out.

Wait a minute, the car currently has 10800 km on the clock (that's like, brand new), or was that only the distance you covered after you've purchased it from the previous owner (in which case the, current total kms would be very much relevant to the whole story)? Or I'm missing something obvious since it is early in the morning here ...

Goddamn its morning.....  108000 km ofcourse :P   haha

Ok, now we're getting somewhere ... I'll let @Offski point out the issue(s), he's good at these things ... ... I won't be at full capacity until later in the day ...

Hi All,

 

Mine does the same. I' delighted ( not really)  that somebody else was having the exact same experience. I share an identical experience as above. 

170CR man6 4X4.

There is the tiniest hint of slip or hydraulic pressure loss in the motion after lifting the clutch pedal ( but only after the pedal has reached full rest ant the home position.) which corrects immediately and pulls away normally from the junction. ( as above, Conering in !st or 2nd)

I have 166K done

** the best Bit**

I was fearing the clutch eating the bank balance scenario,  so I had it replaced by a dealer. His tech wanted a test drive to confirm parts etc before the service appointment.  He confirmed it needed a clutch as it was starting to slip. He also suggested a haldex service. I agreed. I also opted for the major service, oil filters etc. for the car as it was there. €900.

It wasn't long and i started to noticed the slip/pressure drop. +/- 500k

I'm a qualified mechanic, ( light moons ago, before technicians ever existed!!). 

 

I am very curious to know the reason for this. I'll be satisfied with the right answer as i suspect its its electrical or hydraulic and its outcome is mechanical.

 

Thanks for yer time reading this and if you share a similar 4X4 ($X$) experience, let it out here in this tread so that Elesros and myself can put it to rest
