Hello all.
I have yesterday picked up my new s works (april 05). I have noticed that when you start off in first gear it seems to "die" a little and you have to rev harder than normal or you feel it may cut out (though it never has yet). Is this normal for a works engine,my mcs never did this.
Fantastic car though! Have not come down from cloud 9 yet.
Any advice would be appreciated.

That's not normal, take it to the dealer for a diagnostic.

a/c on?

they can be a little snatchy in first, but thats after the clutch has gone out, not really on pull away...

A/c not on. Onlyhad it two days so will see if it "beds in" to my driving style, but yes it is on pull away it just seems to go flat for a split second or so and you need to rev more than you should. Will see how he goes for a day or so before I tell sytner. THanks

Most likely to just be traction control cutting in?

are you getting a flashing yellow light on the dash?

i can get mine to pull cleanly with no clutch in 2nd...whats it like slip the clutch with no revs and accelerate using no clutch...clean?

Sorry to be a pain but I am now used to my new car and think it was probably me just adapting to the difference between my mcs and my new works. Just a blonde moment I think.
Thanks for your suggestions.
