Good evening!

I'm new to the forum
now I'm starting to dig a bit with the mechanics so I'll try to describe the problem I'm seeing as well as I can ;)


I have a 2014 manual Qashqai 1.5dci (K9K)

- The car has 33000 km, relatively few, as it was not driven often.

Lately, it started doing the following:

a) While moving on the road:
(With constant km. in a straight line and 5th or 6th and with the gas pedal constant)

While the engine revs at 2500, it randomly goes up to (3500, 4000) and drops back to 2500.

b) When I step fully on gas:
in 3rd or 4th gear while the engine revs increase, the car does not accelerate.

For a) and b) I went to the engineer, who told me that he didn't see any error codes that would help find a solution.
He has done an "idle air volume reset and learning" but the problem still persists.

Personally, after researching, I realize that it may be a clutch problem.
I'm just worried that it might be some other, maybe more serious problem
as I would expect to see the same when I start with 1st, or when I start uphill, but It feels ok to me.
So I'm not so sure.

also
c) In some moments (no matter the gear))
1) while accelerating, it tells me to shift into 4th while I'm already in 4th
2) while going steady with 6th it shows me an indication to upshift to 6th :roll:

Has anyone experienced something similar?
especially for c) I can't find anything on Google and I don't think it may be related to a) and b).

If you have any idea what else could be wrong I would appreciate it, Thanks!

Welcome to this forum.

Variability in revs is often the sign of a slipping clutch, but a mechanic ought to be able to judge from driving it I'd have thought.

Your point (c) is a totally new issue I've not heard of before - but it could be connected.
