Hi Everyone
I'm hoping someone here can help out , I have a well looked after 2013 petrol evoque with low mileage ( 38,000km). I recently went on a longish drive and when I kicked down hard (until you hear the click at the base of the kick down) on the accelerator the car suddenly started revving very high but didn't change up a gear. Ever since then it keeps repeating this pattern when I kick down on the accelerator. It revs extremely high - like 6000-7000rpm without changing until I take my foot off the pedal then eventually it will release into the next gear. The funny thing is if I push the accelerator 3/4 of the way down it seems to change gears okay.
I have taken it to Landrover and had the car serviced and they didn't pick up any faults, I replaced the auxiliary battery under the glovebox and it hasn't seemed to help ( this was a couple of days ago), I recently tried it out in sport mode and this seems a mess allround, it seems totally confused about when to change. Changing with the paddles is absolutely fine.
I've even gone and bought my own OBD2 wifi device and hooked it up to obd-facile and the only error code it comes up with is a P0299 but none of the symptoms seem to align with a faulty turbocharger?
Has anyone come across this before?
Thanks
Ed
 
Welcome.
Not that I advocate sending people to other sites, but as it is the ejoke, you may get more help from a dedicated to it site. We tend to deal more with actual Range Rovers on here.
On saying that, I believe there are a couple of people who might help on the ejoke, but can't remember who. I'm sure they will pull up their mask and pull down their hoods, whilst standing in the shadows, and try to assist.
 
It's a small 4 pot not a v8 so it's gonna rev

especially kickdown, thats kind of the point!

Sounds fine to me.
 
Okay fair abuse :), if our currency ever becomes worth anything again i'll get a proper range rover :rolleyes:
I know it typically will rev high but the problem is its not accelerating , ie its sticking at a certain speed (usually 80m/hr) and revving high and not changing gear...

Before delving any deeper with automatic box issues, the best thing is to treat the box to a fluid change.

The box fluid is now 7 years old, so past due anyway, ignoring LRs BS 10 year change intervals.
