Loses power on acceleration; Occasional clunk
Posted: Sat Dec 14, 2013 9:00 am
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?
