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.
