Loses power on acceleration; Occasional clunk

Post by Quin »

Hi

I've been having many problems with this car, and having given it a full service and fixing everything properly, there is this one consistent problem.

Whenever I take it out for the day, usually on the return journey home, the car loses power when I accelerate, and occasionally there is a loud clunk (what sounds like) coming from behind me. I then stall because of the lack of power.

Funny thing is, when I had a faulty MAP sensor, this didn't happen.

Also, the handbrake light comes on randomly and them goes (related?)

Any ideas?

Icv imo told you this in the last thread about the same problem

Handbrake light is low brake fluid, so top it up
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:
