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
