Just recently, I gave my 1988 9000 CDE 2.0T Auto a bit of an arse =
kicking. I was in a bad mood and took it out on the car a little, =
problem is after my short burst of fast driving, my car seems a bit =
slow. The engine sounds fine, but the torque just isn't there. I've come =
to the conclusion that the gearbox might not be transferring the power =
as well as it used to. I know my fluids are a few months over due for a =
change, but would that suddenly cause this power loss. I mean don't get =
me wrong the car still really moves, but it does seem to of lost that =
really crisp edge when its changing gear. It used to through you back in =
the seat, and then as it changed from 1st to second it would ease off a =
bit, but once second was engaged, it would pin you in the seat quite =
firmly, its this edge that it seems to of lost, the gear change is not =
as crisp anymore. Another thing I am hearing now and then since that day =
it a rattle that seems to be coming from where your Speedo sensor is, =
its a metally sound, and only happens at idle. What has happened ? =
anyone got any ideas ?. Buy the way my engine is a modified 2.0T water =
injected. Packing 225BHP and a whooping 250lbs/torque. My gear box is =
about 8 months out of a total rebuild....... Any ideas would be great. =
Its the rattle and power loss related or is the power loss because of =
old fluids, and the rattle something else(that will drop off =
eventually)??????
