Have had my new 4x4 TA since March 1st and I must admit I do rather love it !
The only worrying issue I have had so far occurred on Sunday morning when I fired her up, once ticking over there was a distinct lack of power for a couple of minutes or so.
She sounded a little odd as if she was misfiring or something then all of a sudden kicked into life and then never skipped a beat again.
The Eco switch was off.

Has anyone else encountered this, is it common?

Thanks in advance

Simon.
 
Hi - yes I get something similar; however it only lasts about 10-20 seconds before normal service is resumed. During these hiccups, the car will not respond to the throttle - so I assume this is not mechanically linked, in which case I reckon it must be software related.

It doesn't happen very often and when it does, it coincides with when there has been a sharp drop in temperature - either first thing in the morning (6am) or in the evening (c.8pm) after the car has been in the station car park all day.

I must ask the garage to take a look!

anyhow, if you get to it first, please do share what you find.

all the best :)
