Hi everyone,
Now that the weather is starting to get colder again, we're beginning to see the same issue from last winter whereby the first cold start after being left out is very stumbly (if the temp outside is less than 8deg or so). It almost sounds like the engine is flooding but of course it isn't as the accelerator isn't being pressed.
The thing is that it will always start first time anyway and the stumbling is consistent, so to be honest I've just got used to it and accepted it as a strange quirk for a modern car. In addition, it isn't necessary related to the overnight temperature - if for example it's above 11 or 12 deg when you go to start it, it's fine!
But is this normal for all 1.2 drivers? Or do you find it starts the same whatever the weather?
It's something the dealer will have a look at when it goes it for its service, I know from other threads there's a potential software update, but I'd be interested to hear what you have to say. Ta!
