Verso T3 Problem

[Hathers]

:(

HI, just got rid of a '94' 1.6 GLI (have another) and taken ownership of the new Verso T3, done just 100 miles.

Reported problem to after sales, when cold , in the first 10 yds of accelaration we get clonk, seems like under the car as opposed to engine (bit like mud flaps draging), once the car pulls away all's well. Only happens when the car is cold

any idea's ???

take it to the dealer, there might be TSB on this, I dont remember clearly...

Check your air filter too, that would be my #1 check...

there was a past thread on this cant remember the full answer but its something to do with the ABS checking its self ... a click more than a knock

This is something that definately happens on the t-sport, it's the trc/abs like you say, not sure about the verso though.

It only happens on first pull off after starting engine each time. Only ever does it once each time the engine is started. So if it's the same thing I wouldn't worry.

as its only done 100 miles ish

it could be the brake disc pads sticking a little as mine were very tight and loosened off at around 500 miles

id re check at the same sort of mileage to see if any difference if this helps
