Honda FRV issue
Discussion
Please could anyone help?
We have a 2005 FRV 2.2 diesel sport (110k miles) and there seems to be an intermittent fault with the clutch/drivetrain. Sometimes when accelerating in 6th gear to overtake on the motorway, the car doesn't have any immediate power and then the engine revs go into the red whilst the car speed does not increase.
The car protects itself via a rev governor and after taking the foot off the gas, the revs return to normal and the car behaves as expected. I don't believe that the car is jumping out of gear so the only other component between the engine and drive train is the clutch. We have had the car for 5 years (55k) and we have not replaced the clutch.
I have had a quote of £1,200 for a replacement clutch and dual mass flywheel (as the clutch is not warrantied without its replacement).
Has anyone else had a similar problem? Did it turn out to be the clutch or something else?
Many thanks
Mark.
