Hi everyone,
I have two probs with my '98 90hp tdi Alhambra.
The first and most urgent problem is that today it became extemely difficult to change gear. The clutch works fine. The gear lever is very stiff in all directions, 1st and reverse are impossible to select. I had to drive home in 3rd, struggling to get 2nd to pull away. I assume it's a linkage prob but guidance would be welcome.
Second problem has only occured twice but I think it's a bit dangerous. Last week I went to overtake a much slower car and on putting my foot down hard the revs suddenly dropped to idle and the throttle had no effect, like a snapped throttle cable. I stopped, switched off, and when I tried again it worked fine. This happened again a few days later but I dipped the clutch and restarted while moving and carried on as normal. Both times when rapidly applying full throttle. What could it be?
Thanks for your help.
Richard
