Toyota Auris won't drive up hill in second gear.

You could get down to basics and do compression test, sparks present and at the right time etc. Plug colour might tell you something?

Hi there,

I have a solution to my problem of the Auris not going up a hill  .

It had not been serviced very well, the old oil filter was like a piece of wood when I removed it during a serious service.

What really made a difference was cleaning out the Catylic Convertor.

A kit that drips a cleaning fluid via a needle into the air intake  after the MAF sensor whilst the engine is on tick over  did the trick.

I've just done a 700 mile round trip  with great success.

You know , in the current economic climate the fix arrived just in time.

Happy days !!!

Glad it's fixed.

Oil/air filter are usually replaced every 2nd service now, so shops usually ignore it, especially oil, as it makes it easier for them.

Kinda shame really, as the parts are really cheap. 

I'd write the name of the kit, maybe someone else might benefit from it in the future.

That should be allowed to post, but without links where to buy it, as that would be considered an ad.
