Anyone can share if you guys have similar issues and where did you get it resolved?
ENGINE NO PICKUP & GEAR SHIFT IS NOT RESPONDING CORRECTLY
when the car in stationary, you put to "D":
#1. During low speed: engine feels like lost of pickup and then regain slowly.
#2. On highway when you feel like over taking, the engine lack of power of the gear change refuse to take place. And another condition is after the gear has shifted down but the speed is not picking up.
Temperature Gauge unstable reading:
from a cold start: it shows zero to 90 (Optimum point). After you have hit warmed up which it should stay at 90 degrees, it will stay permanently right? But when you hit the highway on a plain level surface and cruising around 80/90 kmh, the temp gauge will slightly drop below optimum point until you required additional torque or come to normal road again.
Anyone has this experience and what is the cause?
Please share what and where did you resolve this?

I think it sounds like your engine is overheating. Maybe you need to check the water coolant / oil level first.

Thermostat is responsible regulating water temperature. Could be the culprit,have it checked. Have the turbo unit and inlet/exit hoses checked for leak.
The REALdeal

The temp reading is not showing higher than normal but lower than normal. This is the unexplainable part?
Water coolant and oil level all OK

U can treat this 2 item as separate cases. The sluggish might be due to loss of boost.
The temp might be due to stuck OPEN on thermostat but check in SC or ur nearest friendly mech to get it rectified...
Cheers..

The thermostat is stuck open which is why when you are on highway, the temp will drop due to overcooling. Too much air flowing past radiator at high speed.
I bet your car takes a longer time to warm up in the morning too.
I drive a 3008 too. In the morning drive out, it take about 5 min of slow driving to warm 90C, about the time it takes me to come out of my Taman. After that the needle stays rock solid at 90C.
Have the thermostat checked and if required replace.

Hi Koo,
Yes it fits all your descriptions! But they refuse to admit, what can I do?
last week the "Anti Pollution system faulty" warning triggered and I drove over to Glenmarie and they confirmed that the turbo us faulty and I have been pursuing regularly and still they are saying pending AP approval. Not sure how long to wait ... the car when crossing junction or round about will move and then pull back (slow down) ... very dangerous to drive.
Anyone faces turbo unit defective even at low mileage <50k km? How fast they rectify?

Hi,
Yes double checked that there are nothing blocking the pedal and yet it feels like lack of oxygen for the car to move forward.
