In my car ( carina at 192) I feel like torque is not delivered when needed. In a road with inclination upward I feel the car is less torque and raising more than it should be ( i.e. it raises around 2 - 2.5k) and changes to a gear which is also seems less power.
I checked how to test whether the gears are shifted properly and did following test based on my car manual.
1) get a voltmeter connected to TT (+ve) and E(-ve) in diag socket.
2) get the reading while I am driving.
3) The voltage values at different gear positions are in attached pic below.
4) Problem is when I drive I only (even in flat or inclined roads) get 0v, 2.1v, 4.1v and 6.1v. I could not obtain higher value than 6.1v since I did not test it in a highway.
5) For an example at gear upshift 0v -> 2.1v -> 4.1v -> 6.1v.
6) My problem is, as per below table I should get some voltage near 1v as well since its the second gear. This value is hardly given when I drive very slowly ( <10kmph). But Other times I am not getting the second gear.
Is it normal? Cant the car get shifted to second gear if i need more torque in a hill ?
PS - the letter B in the picture is for letter V. (Volts).
Officially joined the thel-hinganna normie horde with ....drumroll... a 2025 Vezel... I am eagerly anticipating joining the 'thel keeyak karanawada' debates at almsgivings.
Recently, got the opportunity to see and get inside of The one and only Japanese V12, Toyota Century(a.k.a Japanese Rolls Royce). Is it really upto Rolls Royce standards? Nope, I don't think so. Items like Switches and mirror housings are in plastic. But, we can be assured that the dashboard will not light up like Christmas and would run forever....
...and just like that from having parking space issues a few month's back I'm car-less.
The cost of renting something for a month or two (even more - personal imports have been quite messy of late) made me wonder if it actually makes sense to buy a quickly disposable car and get rid of it in a couple of months - but it seems the 'popular' models aren't moving. A few messages to sellers (registered owners) on marketplace resulted in them sending me daily price reduction updates.
Sleepless nights have begun. I'm twisting between SL320 and SL500. Should I just pay additional 2000 euros more and go for the SL500 and go broke or settle with a SL320?

Dear Experts with my all the respect,
In my car ( carina at 192) I feel like torque is not delivered when needed. In a road with inclination upward I feel the car is less torque and raising more than it should be ( i.e. it raises around 2 - 2.5k) and changes to a gear which is also seems less power.
