I'm new to Cerb ownership and am thus getting to know the car's characteristics & nuances.

Just recently the engine has started 'flatting' between 6000 & 6500rpm, accompanied by a bouncing rev-counter although the red line light/buzzer is not kicking in. It pulls smoothly through to 6000rpm.

The car is 18.5k (3k since last June)on the clock and is due a 12mth service in a few weeks.

Your thoughts much appreciated.

Thx, JT

Do a search on the Tuscan board for 'dethrottle chip'
which seems to meet your description - free upgrade which eliminates full throttle hesitation between 6000 & 7000 rpm.

Have a look at this. I was presented with this issue recently. Make sure your throttle pots are correctly setup too.
