Hi all, I have a problem with my QQ its a 2016 15dci manual the problem I have is the car drives fine no problem but after about 30min driving it starts to crunch between 1st and 2nd gear, if I park up and leave it a while its fine again. I was thinking about doing a gear oil change the car has done 55000 miles. Does anybody have any ideas of what it could be. Thanks

When was the last time you had brake fluid change? I think qahqais run on one master cylinder for brake and clutch, could be water / bit air in the system, or clutch slave cylinder or indeed master cylinder could have seals gone.

I don't know if they share the same cylinder I will have to check, don't think the fluid has ever been changed so that's now on the cards, thanks.

Brake fluid should be changed every two years.

Hi crashcarter, did you have the fluid changed, as suggested?
If so has the lower gear changing problem be sorted?
