Automatic Gearbox Advice

December 6, 2011

Hi All,

We've had this car for over 4 years and apart from servicing, brake pads, disks and tyres it has been faultless we're up to 75K. :thumbsup:

Appears to drink fuel as if it is going out of fashion 200-220 to 50 litres, mostly town driving but has never been particularly good. :unsure:

Recently its began to play up when cold, the gearbox in drive seems to over rev with little drive. stab the accelerator down and it gets a move on. After 5 mins warming up it returns to normal.

As the weather is getting colder I was wondering if anyone could provide some advice on what it could be.

Any thoughts gratefully appreciated.

When was the ATF fluid changed/checked?
