- Accord 2.2 i-CTDi
Hi everyone, new member here.
Picked up an immaculate Accord i-CTDi on a 2007 plate with only 56k genuine miles.
Car works perfectly and is strong in all the gears, but i notice when i give it a bootfull or overtake in 3rd and 4th gear when it hits 2500rpm the clutch will slip momentarily, once backed off, the clutch will catch and i can carry on accelerating. (this is sporadic)
I guess the reason for the post is i have read every single thread on this site and the civic site about all the 2.2 engines clutch issues and troubles and am terrified ive just bought a car that needs a £850 clutch change could this be a case of early clutch failure ? self adjusting pressure plate not working correctly ? or this cruise control switch adjustment not correctly positioned ( what even is this mechanism can it be self adjusted) ?
any help would be appreciated, seen people having to replace the DMF and clutch but not untill 150 to 200k miles so what could be happening in my case ?
any help would be appreciated !
