I bought a used Touran (automatic 12 plate sag 7 speed) and really need help.
The TCM was changed last week (apparently) by the dealer but the issue existed before that, although now it’s worse.
When accelerating it revs a lot before it’ll change up gear and when it revs high and I let go of the pedal it sticks. It really feels like it revs very high before changing gear.
When I put foot down to accelerate there’s a delay and there’s a delay between letting go of the pedal and the revs going down. On any kind of steep incline it’s revving a lot - 4000 revs- before changing gear - on other inclines the lowest it’s changing is 3000 but normally around 3500.
I can feel the gear changes, it doesn’t go off smoothly from a traffic light.
When slowing down it revs high before shifting down gear, but not always.
It’s also as if there’s a zone with the pedal where it won’t accelerate further until you get past it and then it will then jump.
It feels sometimes that I have to press down a lot to accelerate.
I’m used to manual so I’m wondering how much of any of this is normal - because I feel it definitely can’t be.
Has anyone else had this problem or know the fix?
