IINexusII Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 check your timings, oil level, air filter, fuel filter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_focus Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Iv just had it serviced and all it's filters changed it's oil level is good it's pulls like a train in all the gears but just it's not the same acceleration as befor the service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackie_No1 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 There's a vacuum hose at the back of the inlet manifold that either splits or collapses in on itself that can cause this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_focus Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Thank you guys I will have a look some time today just can understand why it still pulls like a train through all the gears but won't accelerate quite as quick as before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackie_No1 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Did you do the service yourself? Of so did you check the plug gaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_focus Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 A local mechanic did it it has had new spark plugs about one month before it's service and it was great but then after the service it has lost it acceleration it used to do 0-62 10.3 secs but now it takes 11.5 but the break pads seem to be touching the disks and they sound like they are grinding when you turn the disk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackie_No1 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Usually the pins seize, rub them down with emery paper and copper crease them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
