Well we made it back OK. The car ran perfect with only one slightly worrying moment right at the top of the Pyreenees on some steep uphill switchbacks it seemed to go into some sort of limp mode, didn't see any engine light come on but the car just would not pull. Limped to the top and had to stop on the downhill section for roadworks, switched off the engine for 5 mins then we set off again, it was about 20mins later before I could find a level bit to put my foot down and all was well. Never missed a beat all the way back after that. Just a thought, could low transmission fluid have caused this?
The fluid was changed before the trip, maybe the level isn't correct and the uphill section caused an issue, it was also very hot day 35 +. Would a T4 check tell me what happened?
Back to the overcast sky and rain.
