Lee_2f2f Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Right, the Peugeot of mine... its having a bit of a screaming time when sat anything over 60mph ..... ill explain , when driving on a motorway or driving anything over 60mph, the engine is roaring and sitting at around 5500 Revs , sometimes even 6000, its really loud and ive never heard it roar like that before, ive stuffed the back box to see if there was any leaks and there must not be because the car stalls because it cant breath , any ideas as to why its all of a sudden started to sit to high with the revs, also when stationary the revs sit below 10,000 thousand where as it use to sit just on 10,000 dont know if it helps but when you start the car up its got 3000 miles before its due a service, could an oil change be in order or anything like that???? thankyou, Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob84 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 6k at 60mph? change into 4th ya bummer and its not 10,000,000rpm, ffs, its not a turbine , if u look closely, it'll say "x100" on the rev gauge and not x1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScORTED Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 ... is it a 1.1? if so its underpowered, your clutch may be fucked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee_2f2f Posted July 26, 2006 Author Share Posted July 26, 2006 ... is it a 1.1? if so its underpowered, your clutch may be fucked 1.4 scorted, but clutch seems fine when ive driven it, not slipping or anything. its got me baffled, i thought it would just be something like the exhaust is loose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex-Finesse Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 (edited) Exhaust loose would make it rev higher.... HOW? Look, does it ACTUALLY rev as high as you say it does, or does it just sound a little bit loud?? :camp: I.E. are the revs normal, and the engine just sounds louder? EDIT: LOL! Of course the clutch will seem fine when you're driving it!!!!!!! :roll: :roll: :roll: You let the clutch in at about 1500rpm max, cos you only drive in the car parks.. FPMSL! Take it to a garage, let them sort it. Edited July 26, 2006 by Ex-Finesse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig855S Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 it will be ur clutch or gearbox mate. When the engines spinning at 5,500 -6000 in fifth then u shud really be flying. The engine CANT rev higher and equal a different speed unless the clutch is slipping or the gearbox has really shat its guts. Take it to a garage,pot haste. Are the rest of the gears ok (ie/ does 4th do similar revs at stupidly low speeds) and until u get it to a garage i suggest its more economical to drive in 4th at 60 as that wont even be 5,500RPM.And get ya pug in the bin,this is an escort site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take it to a garage, let them sort it. First of all ralph.... yes it does rev about 6 x100 when doing about 60-70mph..... and it is more louder probably because its revs are higher than usual.... and secondly i dont let the clutch out at 1500rpm max, as i dont drive in car parks, im actually on the insurance to drive the car.... its just sitting a bit high when driving, and low when stationary it will be ur clutch or gearbox mate.
