Re: 03 HCH New transmission
A friend of mine has an 30 HCH CVT that experienced the same problem. When it was brought to the dealer they checked it out and said that it was the transmission. Still under warranty, so they swapped it out. The problem still persisted. Took it back to the dealer, had it for 2 weeks and changed the EGR valve and now it runs like new.
I have two HCH CVT's, (one personnal and one work issued). My personnal HCH has 73,000 miles on it and runs like a champ. My work HCH has 12,000 miles and experienced the hesitation and bucking, BIG TIME. Took it to the dealer who said "it's probably the transmission". They were going to change it, but I had them check out the EGR valve first. Low and behold, got a new EGR valve and she now runs great. The technician said that the EGR valve was not letting the valves open or close properly which sent a signal to the transmission creating the problem.
Just a thought.
