Description of the problem | Vehicle has the 1. 6 liter turbo engine w/ dual clutch transmission. From a stop the vehicle hesitates to accelerate and then takes off. Tried being more aggressive on gas pedal but still hesitates, then it really shoots off. Vehicle has 3 modes of driving- normal, eco, sport. Tried all 3 and problem remains. Although i can't duplicate/confirm results it seems to operate [slightly] better in lower temps (50-70f degrees) vs hot temps (85-95f). Disconcerting or dangerous when pulling out into traffic. |
