Wonder if anyone can help, or is this simply a natural thing with the car.

When sitting in traffic and not really getting out of 1st gear, about 10mins later the car will suddenly start developing kangeroo juice.....

Is this a problem, or a known issue

The car is an 02.

Thanks in advance.

Bada Bing!

It's normal mate. Nothing more than heat buildup under the bonnet. Once you've done a mile or two it clears the hot air out and performs normally.

Cheers fella, Glad to hear it, as the car has just come out of it warranty stage, and yes its the first time i have been sat in a Queue.. All due to the summer sales season !

Might be another MAP issue - see the other thread on this.

"They all do that, sir"......

You can get rid of a lot of the kangarooing by fitting a snorkel-type intake, as sold by site sponsor Muz and by Spoon.

Could be a MAP issue but all the S's collect the hot air. I soon learnt to give a small blip of the throttle to 2500rpm to clear the air before pulling away as it avoidds the embarrassing hopping.

You could get a cold air intake CAI, a duct which collects cool air, it also means on hot summer days the car is less prone to slow up. You may have noticed that the S does not seem as fast on a really hot day - that's because it likes nice cool, dense air to get it's performance.
