HI tech gurus,

I have a K10 engine Zen estillo which I bought second hand.
Everything else is going good but when I switch to 2nd gear, the car seems to be highly underpowered.

Please provide any indications of solving the issue, or is it an engine management system issue?

If so, how to overcome it?

Re: 2nd gear underpowered

we have only 40,000 km on odo, in all other ways clutch is behaving very well, its only the second gear that suddenly seems to have no power at all.

Hi milindchitale,

When was the last engine oil change? Have you done 40k service? And Are you using 0w20 itself?

Usually by what speed you upshift to 2nd gear?
Did you try upshifting to 2nd after crossing 20kmph and felt any difference?
If not keep increasing the upshift speed and see at what speed you feel better when upshifted to 2nd gear.

Regards.,

thanks for tip, will try out, but to answer your query on upshift, I normally shift around 15- 20 kmph.
But as suggested, I will try to upshift at lower and higher speeds to see if that makes a difference.
