Problem engaging 1st & reserve if engine on & cold
S40 T5 2007, update model for late 2007 to 2012. Clutch was replaced 1200 miles ago
Engaging first or reserve gears after the car has been left overnight is a problem If the engine is turned on neither gear will engage and using first gear for about 4 miles of the journey is problematic. The further through the journey you go the easier first gear becomes. Eventually first and reverse work as normal. You can leave the car for a couple of hours and upon your return the gears still work as normal This is the stage part First and reverse gears will work as normal if the engine is not turned on. Turn the engine on and they will not engage. Turn the engine off, wait a few minutes and then first gear will engage and you can drive off as normal. Drive 5 minutes and stop. Same thing again first and reserve will work as normal if the engine is off. Turn the engine on and they will not engage. Cars been left with a garage so they can see this for themselves as time I drive to them the roars are working a normal. Initial inspection shows nothing wrong If anybody has any ideas what is happening please let me know? |
