Cet article allait s'intituler Amour d'auto (pour différencier avec les Haine d'Auto 1, 2 et 3).Mais dimanche matin, l'embrayage a commencé à coller au fond.
RDV au garage ce vendredi pour en savoir tous...
Enfin, on a eu 18 mois sans aucun souci et un seul service. Et on est déjà passé en dessous des 74 centimes/km moyenne du TCS.
Faut pas se plaindre.
En faisant des recherches sur les embrayages, j'ai appris que sur un diesel on ne devrait pas mettre de gaz quand on démarre en premier - on devrait uniquement partir avec l'embrayage, puis mettre les gaz quand l'embrayage est complètement lâché. Dommage que je ne le savais pas plus tôt.
Je remets en question aussi l'utilisation du frein moteur. Vu la différence de coût entre remplacer des plaquettes de frein et un embrayage, je pense qu'il vaudrait user les freins !
This post was going to be called Car love (with reference to the previous posts Car Hate 1, 2 and 3).But Sunday morning, the clutch started sticking.
Taking it to the garage on Friday, where I will know for sure what it's all about.
Ho hum, we've had 18 months trouble-free driving and just one service in that time, and we've already passed below the 0.74 francs per km (which is some kind of average published by the swiss equivalent of the AA/RAC)
Shouldn't complain about that, I guess.
Looking up clutches on the internet, I learnt that with a diesel, you shouldn't use the accelerator at all when pulling away in first gear. Just let the engine idle do it, and only accelerate once you've let go of the clutch. I couldn't believe it would work, but it does. Wish I'd know sooner (though not sure that it's that which makes the difference).
I also wonder about the wonderfullness of engine braking. Given the relative costs of replacing brake pads and clutches, maybe I should just use the brakes to slow down!
