Hello

If, at approx 55 mph on motorway, you kick down so it changes down 2 gears (4th to 2nd) is it normal that speed doesn't increase and revs stay at approx 3500? But that in order to accelerate to, say, 80, it can only be achieved by depressing throttle gently while staying in top gear?

Is this a characteristic of the vehicle? I'm getting used to it, having come from a 5 speed automatic petrol saloon

Thanks!
 
At 55mph the torque converter locks so infact it is dropping out of torque lock and into third. Itshould rev more than 3500 so would be worth plugging in a nanocom and cheking injector harness egr etc the d2 auto takes a bit of getting used too but ok when you do

Does it kangaroo? When you accelerate do you put your foot flat to the floor and then watch as what you were about to overtake justs carries on and leaves you behind?

Could be air flow meter.
