Dedicated DA9 Q & A thread

[ben11]

can anyone explain this, i was rolling my da down the driveway (engine off and in neutral) and a humming sound started to come from the brakes at the back on the right side, i stopped the car from rolling but the humming went on for a while? also i sometimes hear the same thing when i drive so does anyone know what it is?

thanks

hand brake might be on a lil
take ur wheel off and spin it
see if u hear anythin

or ur rotor might be warped

[mooshie]

could be the stone guard or something rubbing and then when the car stops it still has a vibration and therefore noise in it?

it is the thin piece of sheet metal behind the brake rotor, just a guess though as I cannot think of anything else. Weird that it would do it when the car isnt moving

[ben11]

ahhk cheers, nah wouldnt be rotors they were machined pretty recently so yeah maybe the rotor guard or hand brake which is pretty loose atm

hey guys with the da9 when i drive the car it feels like the car struggles (when accelerating) like it kind of vibrates im not sure of the problem but maybe i needs a new clutch

sounds fuel related
fuel filter?
if u put ur foot does it do it?
clutch when its goin
if ur giving it, itll just rev when ur not accelerating

hrmm fuel filter could be

[supanoodle]

how much do fuel filters go for these days? i might need to replace mine too

[supanoodle]

actually my issue is more like im going at crusing speed on 5th gear and when i shift down to 4th or third and give it the beans (only to overtake or whatever) i dont get any real power until i go past 4kRPM then it starts building up power like normal.
I dont think this is normal and it feels verry sluggish, though ive never driven any other DA9 before but any other car ive driven will be able to pick up speed and RPM at and constant so something is bugging the crap outta me that its not really pulling.
im starting to think the car has no gentleman vegetables anymore...

[stevo716]

das dont rele have much accel speed in 3rd or 4th
cuz of the gearboxes
check ur timing as well tho

clean your injectors and change your fuel filter

[vuonguz]

yeah i was actually thinking it may be the injectors and the fuel filter...
