stalled my S yet again this morning. got to be about the 3rd time this month!

is it me being a plonker or is it just the cold weather?
i've certainly noticed the S is alot less tolerable to minor driving mistakes in this weather..

I stall it much more in the cold, I think because everything is much less willing to move/more friction. Catches me out!

Sorry Try "less tolerant"

Seriously, unlike a FWD where all the "bits" are nicely warmed up under the bonnet all close together, the S with its diff at the back and the gearbox in line and not strapped to the side of the engine must find it harder to cope.
I had the clutch fluid changed, it must have made no more than 1 or 2 mm difference to the pedal, but I stalled it 4 times over the next couple of days.

Now I'll sit back and wait for Hinez 57 to flame me for missing a comma or somthing, but at least I actualy am dyslexic!

That's "Heinz"

Heinz '57

Actually, it’s "Heinz '57"



@richmc
Don't give it a seconds thought,your post is clearer than many in this forum.

Less traction I'd say is the cause, your just used to it pulling away quicker.

Doubt it's your car

I've stalled it one I must admit but I put that down to being a weee bit too cautious
with the revs at a major junction and not wanting to go horribly wrong and put it accidentally in the other lane. Needless to say - I didn't

I have definately noticed more hesitation in the FBW system though.

Bought my winter beater today so no more living in terror of gritting lorries Huzzah !
