« on: July 25, 2012, 04:33:47 PM »
These days when i move off from stop the car seems like having difficulty moving. I step more on the accelarator also no difference, only after a while then it moves... its like on half clutch... mine is a CVT...

When was your last change of CVT fluid?

Cheapest start for narrowing your problem would be change the cvt oil, air filter and change of engine oil + oil filter.

After which if still doesn't improve then clean the throttle body. Bro kelvin should be able to help u.
