Have your mechanic recalibrate the clutch?

It might be due to the clutch not being re-engage properly even when clutch is not being depress.So your RPM climb but the clutch slips.

For me,after changing the clutch plate,my car become very hard to control cause even when release the clutch pedal abit make the car like wanna pecut everytime when stationary so I had to drive it for a few hundred km in order for the clutch plate to run in properly.

perhaps power loss is due to this

Engine flushed using shell engine flush + new Engine oil Castrol Magnatec

why u use the engine flush?not really advisable to do that.

last time what engine oil u using b4 change to magnatec?


clutch slip will contribute to speed loss but not power loss

coz the rpm will raise hence more torque and power but no speed.It's jz like a fully loaded lorry moving on the road

all this while using castrol magnatec 10w-40 every 4000(sometimes less than 4k) consistently

my backside was itchy and now regretted sleep.gif"

power loss = speed loss

hard for the speed 2 climb , i need a dry night 2 do my timings for 0-100km/h and 7.5k @ 3rd gear ,

engine oil checked (no leakage , no white smoke , maintain at the max level) , but oil was very watery as in dripping from the moment i pull out the "dipstick" i realised traced of water (shell engine flush is very diluted) , and at the bottom it seems like water dripping ... 

just now went for a drive , i would say maybe loss of about 20%-30% of power 2 push the car

gear oil was new when i changed my clutch plate using motul 90 PA , previously was redline ... (gear oil shld not be a problem)

my 1st solution : jack the car as high as possible --> release the oil --> replace with some cheap oil --> go drive a few rounds --> release again --> put in new magnatec --> add in the engine protector gel or liquid ...

3rd gear 7500 rpm?what car u driving? vtec ka?

how i wish i was driving a vtec ...

just a 4g93p only ... 7.5k is my limit , rev cut alrdy @ 3rd gear was doing around 140-150km/h and 0-100 around +/- 10secs

now i really dun know , by the feel i think can't reach those peak at the moment

alrdy drained old engine oil , put in flush , run for 5 mins and drained , put in new engine oil

so when i checked the dipstick i sense a lot of diluted chemicals through the whole stick

so my wild guess shld be the engine oil failure ... damm ...

ooo gti engine...u mean u rev till over 7000 rpm at 3rd gear...u compare to last time....no power?



i dun think u had a clutch failure coz mechanic sure know what they are doin since they always change clutch set too.

if im not mistaken...last time i did put engine flush..end up engine no more power

it need time...after change 2nd oil change only recover the power

as i said , there's retention of the chemical as it's not 100% flushed ...
