Losing Power

Post by crodgers »

Im losing power in my 6n. I can hear what sounds like air coming from directly below where the front seats are. It sounds like there is a blow in the exhaust, But when going up slight inclines for example it feeks like the car is pushing all the power in but its just not going anywhere. I just moved up into 3rd gear on a small hill and then i had to drop back to 2nd and there is just something not right.

Could the blow (situated somewhere around where the CAT is) be the reason for the loss of power?

when you say losing power is it just not accelerating like it used to?...your cat con may have gone and have a whole in the exhaust or your battery could be dieing, get it tested for free at halfords
