Two questions about my 'new' V40. S40-V40 1999

posted by  someone claiming to be Marco on  Wed Apr 17 22:48 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Hi to all.
I've two questions about my "new" V40 (three years old, 60000 km) with 1.6 petrol engine.

The main problem is that my car can't accelerate at low/medium rpm: between
1500 and 2500 rpm when I press the accelerator the car "jump" as I was at 800 rpm (but without any particular noise).

Else, if I always use a "low" gear, (that is I stay between 2500 and 4000 rpm in every gear) the car seems to go fine.

I suppose tihs is NOT normal, because it's a quite expensive kind of driving and also because I must go back to first gear when the speed is under 10 km/h and this is very annoying.

Has anyone any suggestion about?

Another question is about the passenger front seat.
I know that is possible to adjust it in height but the Haynes manual does not say how. Anyone has some tricks about?

Thanks in advance

Marco
