| engine holding back when trying to cruise |
|
just had the new D4 on the motorway over the weekend and feels like its missing when your trying to cruise and having to accelarate quite hard to maintain constant speed on hills and when i went overtake the car almost cut out and missed a bit before pulling away, friends some cars behind asked if i had locked up in the traffic because of all the smoke that came out the back ??????.
any ideas???
