I have been having a problem with this car for a few months now, it is very sluggish pulling away, as if it has no first gear (unless pointing downhill
). No warning lights on the dash and once it hits 2000 - 2300rpm it pulls away like it always has (nice and responsive). This causes problems at traffic lights and roundabouts as you can imagine. Fuel economy and revs all where they always have been (49.9mpg urban and 59.9 -62.1mpg non-urban, 2600prm at 70mph). Local garage agreed with fault but reluctant to touch auto box having plugged it in and found no fault codes worthy of note. Recommended auto gearbox specialist just down the road. £60 later they found no faults with gearbox, levels OK as well, oil a little black but nothing to write home about apparently. Fault codes found were for aircon, glow plug and EGR. EGR was replaced by me some 18 months ago when engine management light came on. Replacement put that light out and returned car to former glory, current fault does not tie in with that event, obviously I couldn't clear the fault from the system and we all acknowledge that the fault is a leftover from then and so probably not relevant. Everyone now stumped. I would have thought torque converter or shift solenoid problems would show on system diagnostic?Any help greatly appreciated. Sticking it in first by selecting gears manually doesn't fix it either.
Ta!
