Hello All,

I've got a slight problem with the car - I've noticed that it chugs when you floor it in and around 3-3.5k rpm. But then it seems to pull away fine on up the rev range... Its most noticeable in say 3rd gear accelerating up hill.

I'm gonna take it to the garage I bought it, it needs serviced anyway, but does anyone have any ideas to what the problem might be - so at least I'll know if the dealer's attempting to take me to the cleaners?

Btw, its an MY99 UK Turbo, 30K miles and completely standard.

Cheers.

30k miles is about time for a plug change IIRC. This will probably help.
