Since I’ve had it, my 3.0 E85 with 63k has always done something odd if I reverse immediately after starting from cold. It’s now started doing the same thing on pulling away in 1st from cold. However this stops as soon as the car is rolling and doesn’t do it again until the next cold start.
It’s hard to describe other than as the title says. The engine ‘chugs’ slightly, or sounds a bit like an idling touring car but only under load and only for the initial pull away. This does cause a little kangaroo effect.
As I say this is literally only the first few metres of movement, only when cold and not noticeable at idle.
Wondering if it’s VANOS related as this is the only job that hasn’t been done. Any ideas?
