Hi all. Noticed a few times today that the car's rev's dropped when I was in standing traffic. At one point I thought the car was going to cut out, but it recovered without intervention. It may be a dip in the rev's when a fan comes on, or A/C cuts in?

It's a GS diesel by the way.

Only had it for a week, so wondered if anyone has had similar??

Cheers,

Just had mine in the garage for exactly the same fault, came out with slightly better mpg, i think and some new software Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Interesting thanks.

I shall keep an eye on it, and get it in if I need to.

Mine went in a few weeks ago for the same problem and had new software update.

As a result, slightly worse mpg and the revs still dip when stuck in traffic. Didn't cure my problem  ______________________

How much worse is your MPG?

Mine (TD4) does the same thing when queuing at lights etc. I've not bothered to take it in to be looked at as my previous car, a Volvo S60 D5 also did exactly the same thing under the same circumstances and never suffered any bad consequences.

Back and forth to work in stop/start traffic it appears to be about 1 - 2 mpg down on what it was before the software was updated but it could be too early to tell yet.

I'll let you know what it's like after we've done our 1000+ mile round trip down to Worcester over Christmas and New Year.

Might even see you driving around then, we'll be visiting the Wyre Forest between Christmas and New Year so If you see a GS Stornaway Grey with 07 plates give us a wave  ______________________

I wave to anything with four wheels, so I shall be keeping an eye out for you!
