Engine Revs Increase

July 17, 2008

Hi All,

Noticed over the last two weeks that the engine revs increase when accelerating in third gear. Mainly seems to happen when the road is uphill rather than flat . Rev increase last for around 2-3 seconds befor returning to what I would describe as normal. During this 2-3 seconds there is no noticeable acceleration. The revs seem O.K. in the other gears.

It will be due a 40k service and MOT so it will be going in to Toyota soon.

hi

it looks stange - becuase you were to notice rpm increasing on even 2nd gear in case the clutch friction disc got worn or wet with oil.

By increasing i expect you mean increasing more rapitly than it's supposed to when accelerating.

Sounds like the clunch

My 2.2D did the same. A trip to the deal saw a new cluch fitted. Why I asked? Because the dual mass flywheel don't work right! By the way there is a leak of gearbox oil into the cluch also. Lets call it two days labour, a new clutch, flywheel (single mass of course) and a new gear box seal.

Get it to the dealer quick!!!
