I have a year 2000 Leon, 1.6 16V, 5dr hatch, 107,000km. The car cruises ok, but the acceleration in low gears is very poor. On anything of an incline on the motorway, in 5th gear, the revs die away quickly - this is the same fully loaded and empty.
Hill starts are a nightmare, the car needs buckets of revs and lots of clutch slipping.
I bought the car here in Spain and the local dealer is trying to tell me there is no problem, itīs simply that the car is under powered. I agree with that!!
Is there anything obvious I could get checked?
Thanks.
