gloves Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 When my car is cold and i first set off, after i get into second and I'm releasing the clutch and putting on the accelerator I feel a vibration in the accelerator for a second or so. It doesn't happen after that unless i turn the engine off and back on, then its a bit different and i hear a small clunk noise (again coming from the accelerator pedal). is this worth taking to the garage?

It only does it once (every start) and is normal, if the self test was to fail, I believe the ABS light on the dashboard would then light up Does it on my car every single time I take it for a drive, sounds like a single clunking sound. Is this what you could be describing/experiencing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took it to a garage and they said they couldn't find any issues. They did apparently tighten the drive shaft and I haven't heard it be as loud since so that may have been it.
