3rd year and 2 months. smooth sailing.

recently have a problem of vibrate during acceleration.
not steering vibrate but as if the tyre spin cause the vibrate is just a moment. and then it gone.

I wonder is it the cvt belt loosen when accelerate.
4~5k rpm on S mode. around 70kmph ~ 120kmph there is a three times such occasion as if each ratio change vibrate once.

change to + - mode it is ok no such vibrate.

dunno how to explain the vibrate is almost same like when u brake and then there is a esc kick in vibrate kind of feeling.

slowly. CFE can reach 720 km one full tank. consistent travel 110kmph. with luggage and two person should be can reach 650~720 mark. 7.6l/100km.

now I maximum push most of the time 120~160~180~200 sometimes getting 380~450km full tank. so mileage is high at 9.6l/100km

I going to COSE this Thursday.

Seems like my CVT gear have some issue now.

is been "fun" and been quiet sometime. Speed is good.
Suddenly last three weeks ago. experience of the gear slip motion.

As if even if I floor down the car hard to propel forward. With lots of vibration as if the CVT slip motion.

I have a lot of car going to die off or die off completely if I park my car downhill want to reverse have problem.

Don't push too much on the CVT gear. too much pushing. too much 5.5k rpm will cause your cvt gear have problem.

mine is Apr 2012 unit. the first batch of 1070 units.


This picture shows a gear icon as fault light. Note that I park my car and I have already switch to P but after a while it turns to N. without even I switch the lever to N.

and the video down below shows that I try to switch between the gear eventually the icon gone.



until now the icon gone. but still have problem when want to reverse from a downhill. or when idling press accelerator a bit the car as if want to die off. and when press maximum the accelerator especially reaching 4k~5k rpm it slips and the car no longer propel as if it was in N.

hmmm. I have went to cose. the only thing the mechanic do is by reflash ECU. and refix back connector done at the seat cause there is air bag light on.

after I tried again it is still have the problem as if there is nothing been done.

I think I have to go and ask them check properly. The next action will be done by the mech is they will flush the cvt gear box oil and then put in again. I don't know how much this will help.

hopefully the next visit will solve this issue.
