I have a my00 uk turbo which i fitted a ppp ecu and de cat down pipe and every thing was fine, yesterday i de catted the centre section and twice now when driving along when you put your foot down it revs up but car dosent pick up speed like it should, its feels a bit like the clutch is slipping, but im pretty possitive the clutch is fine, any ideas?

 

drive your car up to say 50mph. select 4th gear. give it full throttle and hold it as far as you want to take the revs. usualy the clutch will slip in 4th when its on its way out. do it a few times.

it was in 4th when it happened with me, it also happened with the missis not sure what gear she was in. the car has done 45000 miles how long dose the typical clutch last? i know it depends on how its driven

 

So a search mate on decatting a classic with PPP. I recall the PPP ECU doesnt like running full decat. Correct me if I'm wrong guys.

 

if it was the clutch you would smell it.

Unfortunatly it does sound like your clutch is on the way out. If not already left the building. Fitting a de-cat or changing anything else will not make the ECU give these symptoms.

 

Typical clutch lasts around 50,000 miles. Or depends how you drive.
