Bloke I sold the Megane to contacted me wondering if i could look at it as the automatic gear shifts are really rough. An oddity I noticed when I let him test drive it, he lifts the throttle randomly all the time - something to do with driving trucks for a living he said... And he put it in neutral every time he went down a hill and stopped at lights... People are weird.
I gave him the spiel on the test drive that all those things are at best not needed and will just add wear and tear. Just leave it in drive, keep a steady pressure on the throttle and let the automatic do its thing on its own.
Turns out he is still doing the throttle lifting. No wonder the gear changes are jerky, the poor bloody trans computer doesnt have a clue what the hell is going on! Told him to stop it, drive it normally and then I'll have a look at it for him...
Anyone got any idea what his deal is with that? What is it about driving trucks that would make someone keep randomly getting off the throttle in an automatic car...?
