Hi all,
I am new here so massive apologies if I have posted this in the wrong place.
I bought my wife a 1998 R reg Micra K11 auto for her to learn in. She has her test booked for 21st September but over the past couple of weeks the car has developed an issue. During engine braking or slowing down, when the CVT box drops speed (I know it's not dropping gear as such), during this varying of speed, there is a noticeable grinding noise that you hear & feel. The car generally drives OK & there is no N-CVT warning light or anything but if nothing else it will be disconcerting for the driving test examiner, especially since it is more noticeable with the radio off...
I was thinking it could be the transmission fluid that needs renewing or perhaps from reading, the electromagnetic powder brushes of the clutch system that need renewing...
Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
Ash
