EnricoPalazzo Member 84 Member For: 19y 5m 7d Posted 18/10/10 07:43 AM Share Posted 18/10/10 07:43 AM (edited) Hi guys,I think I have an issue with my Auto Trans on my Fg F6, however I have now seen 2 seperate dealers and they both tell me there is nothing wrong.The best way I can explain it is If I turn OFF Traction Control, Put it into Performance Auto, lightly stall it and accelerate hard, The car will take off but then at around 20kmh, I get a very quick cut in power, similar to traction control but without any fart sounds etc.I have had this issue since new, I really dont know what to do anymore, does anyone think it could be a spark plug problem?I will try get some video of the problem occuring, I am also driving another auto fg f6 this week to see if their demo car does the same thing - I am pretty certain it wont happen.Thanks in advance!

Some times it just baggs the hell out of both tyres (smoke fest) other times it does exactly as you said...I will keep an eye on it..Cheers Gus.

I thought WTF.. then try again and all good.Has happened a couple of times, but only randomly.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My car does the same thing and is an auto f6 aswell.... EnricoPalazzo does it come back on after the cut out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
