Some German Gremlins have attacked me and my beloved SEAT... Should have stuck MG....
I was happily coming back from a hundred or so mile trip when I slowed down for a roundabout then put it in second and powered on to then hear the revs go high and followed by a grinding noise with no power at all and not working in any gear. I put the car in neutral and coasted to a layby.
Then tested all gears and was the same no power at all.
Rang the AA who came out and said it might be something to do with the intermediate drive shaft teeth being worn? I hope so this is the best case.
Here is a video of noise and what happens when i try to dip the clutch when its in gear.
Someone said it could be the clutch?
Got a mate coming to look at it and take it from there. Its sad that due to its pretty low value if its a mega expensive bill it might be going to the scrappers.... If it is going to the scrappers I'll probably part ex the vectra and get a small run about maybe a ZR or similar size.
Either way its going to be costly
Enjoy your MGs Lol
I might be in the bargain basement more often from now on.
