My hyundai getz loses power on a climb, even a slight slope, can only manage in 1st and 2nd gear with very high revs. Ive had a full sevice, changed cat convertor, new fuel pump, I recently put in injector fluid which seemed to solve the problem for a short while and its now doing the same

Sounds like your clutch is slipping here is a video of the repair on a similar car so you can see how the job is done.

Well it sounds to me like there is still a problem with your fuel system. I would reccommend scanning for error codes in the engine and doing a compression test on all cylinders and a fuel pressure test & advise from there with results

Hello,

I would check the engines air filter and the fuel filter, do you have a new fuel pump like the SUE_MARIE?

Here is a guide that can help you get the problem fixed as well.

Please let us know what happens.

Best, Ken
