Possible Solutions to Lack of Acceleration?
I was doing some reading the other day and happened to come by a few interesting things that related to lack of acceleration. Do you think any of these issues affect a lot of us?
02 C32 Supercharger Problem... RESOLVED!!
HEY!!
SO about 2 months ago my supercharger was having problems.. It was only engaging for about the first 60 seconds my car was started up. It would work fine (no gears grinding, no funky sounds) and then blam!! it stopped and i had a gutless v6. I could pull over turn it off, back on and then it would work again.
I took it to the dealer and they said i would have to replace the whole supercharger including the clutch. WRONG!!
Took it to another dealership and they said just the clutch.. RIGHT!!
Turns out the air gap in the supercharger clutch is too large for it to stay engaged. Needs a new clutch. 1700$$ which is a lot better then the dealership told me. 4000$ so i hope someone who is having the same problem reads this so you dont replace the whole blower..
