  5. hey guys, the overheating problm was solved in the 328 =), but less than a week later whilst driving home from work i noticed the gearbox did not want to tap down gears easily (automatic) and when i stoped and started at traffic lights i notices it was thuddering or vibrating when i initially accelerated (with decreased performance). it takes a few more ticks to start now also. I have had coils and spark plugs checked and they are all fine..... i appreciate any input, thank you What could be wrong? many thanks, Charlie
