I bought a 2008 GLX DiD 5 door last year with 98000km on clock. It has now got 142000km.
Before that I owned a 2005 DiD GLS 3 door, that went from 80 000km to 215 000km without any problems.
Before that a new 2001 2.8TD Colt from 0km to 220 000km without any problems.
BUT
This 5 Door GLX has got a terrible flat spot when you for instance try and pull away from a yield sign (when you did not stop completely). The agents says nothing wrong, SAC says nothing wrong.
It's very irritating and sometimes dangerous when you want to take a gap.
The turbo has got a very slight whine on it.
I never had this problem with the 3 door GLS (I had to sell it because we became 3 in family).
So it makes me wonder if the GLX gearbox is an older type than that used on a GLS, it kicks down quite slow.
Or that I have a turbo problem not providing enough boost as it could be damaged.
I found out after I bought the GLX that it was heavily used for offroad trips, Old Man Emu shocks/dual battery system (it was very well cleaned/valet and looked well looked after in showroom floor).
So I'm wondering if anybody else has got same problem and if so, what you found the problem was?
Would greatly appreciate some advice.
Thanks
