- VT Acclaim S2 Wagon
I have a Series 2 Acclaim Wagon with an Auto Trannie, I have been having a problem with it for a few months now so thought I would see what you guys think it may be.
While I am driving my car the check engine light comes on but just before it does the car gives a bit of a shutter which feels like it comes from the trannie. Now, while the check engine light is on and I go up a steep hill the trannie wont kick down gears or worst of all if I am over taking it will not kick down.
When the engine light isnt on and I am sitting on 100 - 110 it is still in third gear and to get it in to fourth i have to stick the boot into the accelerator and lift my foot off the accelerator to get it to go in to fourth. When I go to work i have to go up a hill but have to turn off to go up the hill so when I slow down it kicks down to second but as I start going up hill it will kick in to third and then fourth which feels like I have no power but I have my foot nearly flat to the floor and then it will drop back to second then as it picks up speed it will kick up to third and then fourth.
This is really starting to annoy me as i am only getting 450 kms to a tank of fuel where I was getting 800 kms to a tank.
