Clutch Judder When Cold...

Post by cjp2k » Wed Jul 18, 2012 2:51 pm

Hi Guys, I have noticed (twice) that the car sometimes has a judder when driving from cold. (it happened again today)

Has anyone noticed this? The first time it happened I put it down to me driving the company van for a week and getting back into the Z, but now I am not so sure..

Isn't that on the E85/6s... not the E89? Or does that suffer from the same?

Never had this on mine, I used to get it occasionally when cold and damp on the 1 Series and was a known issue.
