I purchased my 2018 Grand Sport tourer in Feb this year. Since owning in 5th and 6th gear if I apply slightly harder acceleration I lose power briefly with the error message of ‘Reduced Power, Reduce Clutch Use’. This can be whilst driving along the motorway where I haven’t had to change gear for sometime.
I’ve noticed that this also occurs whilst in 3rd or 4th, again this is with harder than usual acceleration such as on a short slip road onto the motorway.
I’m led to believe that this is a clutch issue whereby a new clutch might be needed however my dealer has stated that they will need to strip my gearbox to diagnose. They’ve quoted me £940 just for this stating it may not be covered under warranty. They also need my car for up to 1 month.
Clearly I would hope this would be covered under warranty.
Has anyone else had this issue?? If so how was it resolved??
With the threat of a huge cost I’m half tempted to just live with it but surely this should be covered under warranty.
