Hi guys, It's my turn having problems with the SMG :sad3:
That was beginning of november the clutch began to be quite aggresive. Put it into first gear and just touch a small bit the throttle, the clutch will bite more than expected and force the car forward. Even though I lift off immediately, the car would still push forward 2 or 3 feet more with the clutch engaged, until it would accept to disengage it. Parking is a nightmare, the problem is even worse in reverse. To just make the car more half an foot you have to tap the throttle a small bit and then get on the brakes hard to force the car to stop :dunno:
The gearchange is very harsh. Especially from 1st to 4th gear, it changes gear and when it's time to engage the clutch, it does very violently, it brings my head backwards and I hear a bang in the transmission. Same when reducing. It is less of a problem when I drive in S6 at high rpm, but in position 1, 2 or 3 it's terrible.
I'd be ok driving always in S6/ high rpm, but quite a lot of times it cannot change gear, I remain stuck one, 2 or3 seconds with nothing until it can change. Really sucks:crying:
Absolutely no error codes says the dealer.
They flashed all car with the last software: no change. Well, fuel consumption seems a bit lower at idle is better, it does never get higher ( to 900 rpm ) as it did before, with the noise similar to cold start with the ASR exhaust. Have your cars up to date guys!
They said my rear diff was bad, that was why the car would make some bangs...Well the car has only 70.000km...They changed it, but no change...
So now it's again at the dealership, it's spent 5 weeks in the last two months. The worst is they tell me the car is ok, it's a M5 so it's normal it's not smooth as a normal car, bulls$t!!!
Anybody an idea of what can be happening? Quite strange the car goes so bad and not one error code.
Clutch seems ok, it's not sluggish, changes normally flat out at high rpm. I don't think it can be the SMG pump. Clutch sensor? they say it's ok...
Thanks for any help!
