Sudden jolt when pressing on

[mhurley]

Lately on a few occasions my V8V jolts when i put my foot down. Think it tends to occur in 2nd gear
Any one had this issue?
It's as if the engine is starved of petrol for a split second

I think you may be right Pete, it does feel like a sharp jab on the brakes. I was always assuming it was the engine but bar it seizing up for half a second and then running normally as if nothing has happened, I don’t think it can be the engine.

It does always happen under acceleration and cornering but at a point where the car is nowhere near the limits of adhesion so if it is the DSC it must be some sort of bug within the system.

I’ll try with DSC switched off for a few weeks and see if the problem stops.

A sharp jolt on brakes is a good analogy

I'm running Bridgestones on the front and Michelin Pilot Super Sports on the rear
