Going up a steep slope..
-
Found out that most of the time, i have problem whenever i need to go up a steep slope. Either my car will move very very slowly or the engine will just stall and die
Today I tried using first gear to go uphill, but the car still moves very slowly, and a couple of times it seems that it is going to die so I stepped on the accelarator to make it go up...but instead of moving faster, it slowed down even more and i noticed that a lot of fumes started to come out from the exhaust pipe behind the car. After I have moved my car safely up the slope and managed to find a place to park, there was not so much fumes anymore, but got some black oil dripped out from the pipe So dunno what's wrong with the car le...anyone can enlighten on how to move up a slope better?
Luckily tomorrow is the first free service by the car company...so can send in the car for a check up le...hopefully nothing wrong wif it

Are you refering to normal roads or in multi-storey structures?
Are you starting off from stationary? If you are already traveling, why do you shift to first gear? Keep at whichever gear you were in if you are already traveling. Only shift down one gear if there is not enough power to sustain the speed.
Do you have friends that are experienced in driving to sit with you while you drive? -

rev to 5000 rpm and then pop clutch
but seriously, rev the engine more..
is yours the 660 or 800 version?
could be that there just isn't enough torque to pull it up the slope that fast. -
Oh. You do not need to travel up fast in a multi-storey. So do no step on the accelerator too much, especially when your car is new.Originally posted by rainee:multi storey structure...i m going up a parking complex today...

Yes you can change gears when you are going up a slope but only when necessary. e.g. you are traveling up slope and you feel that there is not enough power, then shift down. If you persists on the high gear and the car does not have enough power, the engine will die off. -
850 version...Originally posted by the Bear:rev to 5000 rpm and then pop clutch

wat i did is i step on the clutch pedal and also the oil pedal, then i slowly release the clutch pedal and continue stepping on the oil one...but sumhow it is just not moving up...then i saw the smoke coming out from behind...super scary... -
I can't remember how to drive manual trans anymore but I do know cars should not drip oil. Hope the checkup helps.
-
but got fumes sia...new car shouldnt be like this

Can try turning off the aircon
will get a bit more power from the engine -
ic ic...yea already travelling very slow...but the car was making a lot of jerky movements as it is moving, like not smooth u know? it is already at the first gear le, so thats the lowest gear i can go to...so not sure wats wrong wif itOriginally posted by sillyme:Oh.

1mth old kancil, do you mean brand new 1 mth old or 2nd hand 1mth old, there's a difference you know.
And there shouldn't be any oil dripping out from the exhaust pipping. Time to send your car for a full check. -
