View Full Version : CVT Slow to Engage on Hill & Jerks

Hi all,

My 2013 Avant is giving CVT issues.

Sometimes when on even the slightest of inclines it will delay to engage then jerk into gear. Sometimes it will stall if I don't manage the revs correctly.
Once or twice it's been so bad I've had to reverse back down the hill.

No faults on the basic OBD scan but I'm getting a friend to run a deeper scan in next few days.

Any thoughts or guidance?

Not good, drop the fluid and check if it is burnt.

Coincidentally it's all but stopped happing now and I've tried my best to force it to happen. Mrs says she thinks it's still is there when she drives....who am I to say [emoji23]

Maybe its just coincidence

Nothing relevant there but get the fuel pot and motor changed before it fails and won’t open, even with the emergency cord.
