help me please :( - spittle89 - 7:th-Dec-2014
So tonight my car was driving fine i parked in mcdonalds ate my food and then started the engine and thought me engine seems a little louder than normal. So i started driving and i noticed when i change gear say im going from second at 3000rpm to 3rd when i put my foot on the clutch the revs drop to 2000rpm and then it sticks for a few seconds and then drops down to normal :/ any ideas what this is. Does it in every gear but when im on stop and just revvin it is fine 😨😨

help me please :( - tucpal - 7:th-Dec-2014
look at your instant fuel consumption setting
on tick over if it is over 0.1 gal/h and at 0.6 gal/h
the car may be doing a DPF regen

Okay thank you ☺.

Sounds normal to me. The engine revs are matched for the next gear change. Some corsas do that too, gives an ultra smooth drive.
However, it isn't all that clever as it assumes you won't be block changing, so if you change from 2nd to 4th, the revs are too high.
As for engine being noisier, it might just be in you mind!

Mine (2.0cdti) does the same, as kev says its normal for the ultra smooth (suposidly) gear change
