Dosnt happen always.Is this the dreaded driveline lash?I thought they had all but eradicated this vermin in the ZF equiped cars Edited 02/05/09 10:03 AM by londas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y 27d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 02/05/09 10:05 AM Share Posted 02/05/09 10:05 AM Due to the relaxed spec of the driveline tollerences, it very well could be backlash.While the Autos are less noticable, they still suffer from it. The drive by wire throttle does amplify the problem.Do not worry about it and just enjoy the car, its power and drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
