New GU a bit of a slug ?
A question to the learnard , just picked up my new GU , i brought an auto , aim getting too old to bother changing gears , heres the question , i had been loaned a 2007 3 ltr turbo diesel auto which i used for a week , and it went like a cut cat , i was very impressed , now I've picked up my newby, and it seems like a slug , now i know its new and all , but i wouldn't have expected in this modern age to require much running in ??? but to say its a slug is an under statement , you put your foot to the floor and nothing happens , it slowly builds revs and eventually does something , this is after screaming through a hand full of gears , no i haven't asked the stealer yet , i don't want to look like a dick , is there something aim doing wrong ? or is there really some sort of break in period , all in all aim pretty dissapointed

Steve. If it's a brand spanker like you say it is, and if it is as bad as you describe it, then dealer is your best bet. New car shouldn't be sluggish like that.
And you should not be looking like a dick if you walk in there mate, it's your hard earned $$$ you handed over for a product they possibly didn't deliver. I'd walk in and begin asking questions.
As for a mechanical answer. It all sounds like turbo lag to me?? Hope someone more experienced can think of something else.

Well it is yes , i jumped out of a D-40 manual , and seriously this would have been to the pub and back and would have skulled 3 beers before i even arrived in the GU , i hope its some run in issue or a mechanical thing , or aim not going to be a happy camper

And yes , i would agree , it hardly seems like the turbo is working , you could hear it on the D-40 , but you can hardly hear it on this , and i know what its like when the turbo dies , as it done it on the D-40 and this feels like that all the time , although it is working , i think , i can hear a little , but something is not right , it can't be this bad , or they would never sell one

Don't take any crap from the dealer, they will probably try and tell some load of rubbish.

Gday.
To get a comparison why not go into another dealer and take the same model for a test drive.

Go out to Brewick Nissan, sounds like a dirty MAF to me.
but see if its bringing up any faults first, Maf you can clean yourself
A GU is not sluggish by any means
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
