Morning,
So, this issue has always been present and I'd assumed it was just a 'quirk' or I was a shit driver, but it seems to have got worse since moving, though it may be beause I have to do a lot more stop/start on a cold engine now.
Anyway, the issue is, first few pull-aways after a cold start are juddery/sticky from the OS front wheel. It feels like someone is holding the driveshaft hard and it 'jumps' a bit before moving off. Takes a lot of clutch to pull away as well and the wheel slips/spins a bit when it does go.
After the first few times it's perfectly smooth though, which has really confused me!! If it was anything mechanical (driveshaft for example) it would be constant.
There is also a 'dip' just after pull away when the EGR opens but I don't think these issues are linked. Thought I was just forgetting how to drive on a cold engine but giving it more revs doesn't seem to help either.
So has anyone got any ideas? Really can't understand it myself.
Cheers
Tom
