Reverse and drive are the worst but as soon as u start driving its fine there seems to be no problem at all its only when idling!! anyone had simmilar problems??? what did you do to fix it?? heard that getting car flashed back to factory settings may rectify problem?? any help would be great!!! due to have a baby in 8weeks would like car to be running properly before then!!!
