Hi Guys,
New to the forum and my first post...I hope someone can help me...
My car is a VW Bora 2.0 - 2001 model done 183,000Km
Ive noticed since of late that when I step on the accelerator the 2nd to 3rd gear shift is not smooth and i get the feeling that the engine chokes while changing gears.
I get a heave in the car (the pushback you get when you accelerate from Neutral)...there is also a sound from the engine that sounds like when you step on accelerator when the car is on neutral...once this is done the car shifts gears to 3rd n the drive is smooth again...
Any ideas whats going on ? Am i need of a gear box oil change / top up ? Is there a blockage somewhere ?
I last changed my oil about 1500Km ago with high perfomance synthetic oil....
I plan to sell this car asap and it wont be fair with this thing....
Thanks n sorry for the rant...
