CForce 1000 Touring

[nberga]

Hi,

This weekend went on a trip with my all brand new cforce 1000 touring, went from tarmac to reach the small muddy places and dirt and even sand.

Was running great until tre situations occurred:

First, after putting 50km without problems and still respecting the break in on the engine, we came across a sand small uphill and just turned the 4x4, and almost reaching the top, got a strange loss of traction with a noise like something was slipping, the noise looked to came from the front but cannot give 100% sure it was the differential or not, but something was definitely slipping, also i disconnected the 4x4 and tried to make the uphill only rear traction and almost reaching the top the same noise. I got a friend that was on my old 850XC and it drove pass this small uphill almost at idle.....what do you think??? Belt Slipping, Front differential or Gearbox/CVT?

Second, after this situation, i had the engine light going from on to off on the trail back home, but on the trail back home, i had no issues with temp rising nor noises nor anything, we drove normally, but without sand nor uphills, just rolling normally on dirt roads.

Third, a strange situation, riding on normal mode, i was going at 38 to 40km rolling but the engine was revving on 4000rpm at those speeds, i feel that it was a little bit more reavs than usual for that speed, but this is my perception, what do you think on this???

If it was 20 years old i would say you could have something going on with the belt and shieve but this is brand new you should not have problems with anything. It is very possible that the dirt and sand you ran through may have affected the electronic lockup  to go into 4 wheel drive, but it shouldnt have. Im not that familiar with these very rarely work on new ones. I think i would contact the dealer.

That is some truth yes, but i'm seeing some problems with brand new 1000 touring with slippering...and some if not almost changed Belt and Clutch...

But regarding the 4x4, it's strange since if we put on 4x4 on tarmac and dirt road no noises no nothing, only when is pushing this happens...

But, yes, we already contacted the dealer to see how things go.
