My Premio 260 model with 70k km mileage has a gear slipping while accelerating from 0. This occurs only when going up a hill. When driving in a traffic and stop the car in D position and when trying to accelerate engine rpm goes up and vehicle moves with a slight delay with a knock/jerk. Can hear the noise too from the engine compartment. Otherwise it drives smoothly. This doesn't happen always, but happened several times. Maintenance done properly including CVT oil change at 40k km.
Agents checked and said its normal for the model. (Normal gear slipping???)
Called Nilwala Motors, and they too said it's a common issue in the particular model which can't be corrected.
It's really annoying, as it is a significant jerk. Suppose if you are driving a manual gear car on a hill and in clutch balance, you accelerate the car and suddenly release the clutch pedal, then you know how it moves... It is the same feeling I have when I get the so called problem.
Anyone had the similar experience?
Is this a symptom of CVT gear box failure?
Any solution to repair or over come the issue?( What I do is keeping left foot on the brake pedal and right foot on the accelerator pedal and giving a clutch balance like thing, but its not a proper solution)
Surrounded by various different nice car models in Germany but still fascinated by the Presea, Bluebird U13 and the Mark II.. The first cut is the deepest.. Baby I know, the first cut is the D he he he
What is the deal with the car market these days!!
I went to check on a Jimny, 2016 2nd owner and he's hellbent on 6.8mil for the thing,
approx 50000km+ mileage
Needs tyres, rear shock absorbers leaking and there has been an aircon repair as well.
(Approx 400k LKR in pending repairs making the total 7.2mil)
Whereas a brand new one can be imported between 8.2-9.5 given the grade and winning bid.
I ponder what the mentality is of the people of this country...🤣
