Whilst it settles after a few minutes it still feels wrong. Not only does it feel rougher but also louder at idle. I suppose many people don't notice it because they may drive for a few minutes before they come to a stop and by then the car is warmed up and idling correctly. However, i usually have to stop at a traffic light within a minute of leaving home and this is when I notice it most.Quote:

Most dealers will fix rattles, especially if you had purchased the car from them. Are you going to purchase the extended warranty? Probably a good idea. Or atleast use that as a bargaining tool.
I'm in Adelaide. I'm the second owner, just bought it about 2 months ago in a private sale. It's been great, but just noticed this rough idling for a couple of minutes after starting in this cold weather. I'll probably enquire at my local dealer about it. Let us know how you go too.Quote:

And by rough, can you elaborate a bit on how it is rough?
Cause i know mine is rough on cold starts [ in garage(not as bad as outside) ]or outside) but within a few minutes once the engine is slightly warmer it is fine.
Yes the roughness is very subjective. For me the rough feeling is quite a strong vibration that is never felt at any other time other than during warm up.Quote:

It's parked in a garage but I doubt it's much warmer in the garage in the morning than outside. The fact that it is rough for only a few minutes then sorts itself out made me think this is *normal*. Like Unity said it's a strong vibration. It's not horrible but it is a definite departure from the normal very smooth idle where you can hardly feel the car is even on. Reading other comments in this forum it might just be normal, I have no idea. I might speak to my service dept and see what they say.Quote:

Hello,
Had the CU2 for 2 months and the following problems have occured.
1. Pinging (mild but noticeable)
2. Horn fused.
3. Cruise Control unable to "SET". It can be turned on/off but cant set speed regardless whether travelling at 60, 80 or 100.
lingamair - i'd speak with your dealer principle for some answers mate.
on newer cars yes, sometimes that is the case, ive replaced my rear pads but my fronts still have 60%.Quote:
