Hi all
Can anybody help... I have a 520d manual and have noticed that when approaching gradients on the motorway the car loses speed and wont accept the throttle when i try and compensate for the speed loss. Even smaller engine cars seem to brush pass!! Today I had the car diagnosed by the AA his machine found no fault codes. Anybody have any ideas please.

Am I mistaken, or is this the third time you've started a thread on this subject? Try taking the car to a mechanic if you would like something beyond the conjecture of random people on an internet forum.
