Hi all,
So here's the story...
I bought a 2010 Accord around November and the first thing I do with any new car I get is to get it tuned for performance and fuel efficiency.
After tuning the car (and having the dpf done) I found that it would occasionally slip in third gear when I gave it full throttle.
The car had 90k on it so I figured it was due a new clutch and flywheel.
So I got the clutch and flywheel changed just before Christmas 2015 and made sure not floor it at all for the first 6-8 weeks to let it settle in.
So all was fine up until a few days ago, when I noticed flooring it in 3rd gear up a hill (doing about 60mph) it lost power at 2k rpm and kicked back in at around 3k rpm.
I have tested this a few times in the last couple of days and it seems to do the same thing every time. I haven't noticed it any other gear except 3rd.
The car has been remapped (from standard 150bhp) to around 190bhp. The new clutch and DMF are Luk brand.
I don't floor it all the time (maybe a few times a week if I get a clear road) but as the area I live in is hilly, I normally floor it uphill.
Surely the clutch or flywheel cant be going already?
I've thought about contacting the tuner and asking him his opinion, but I don't really want to bother him after 7-8 months and I really like the way the car is driving (apart from the obvious) so I don't want to take the ECU back to standard.
Any ideas???
