I know some of you are already thinking of telling me to use the search function . I have been checking.
I haven’t been using the car much recently with the lock down. I am now going for drives just to keep the car in decent shape (or to get away from the family). I do use the Ctek tender every 2 to 3 weeks.
I took the car for a drive (knowing the battery was low) and the car was warmed up. It dropped in to Neutral then picked up gear, whilst cruising in 5th/6th gear. No error message or issues for the rest of the drive. I took it for a drive again and tried to replicate the issue. When accelerating even pressing on the car is fine and no issues, even in MC Shift mode. It’s only done it twice when steady cruising so it’s almost like the car thinks i have taken the feet off the pedal? I also start the car after the lights go out.
I contacted AV and they suggested using it more and monitoring it. The car has done 34k miles on original clutch and at last service (1k miles ago) the clutch wear was 31%. AV have been great by the way.
Should I be thinking about replacing the clutch or anything else I should check whilst I have some free time? I also read this can be a quirk with these cars?
Thanks in advance.
