Hi all, first post so please be gentle.
Bit of a strange one this, as per topic title the car in question is an early E36 318i se Auto, (M40 lump). The motor runs as smoothe as a smoothe thing when cold, but as the needle on the temp gauge starts to move up slowly (starts just as it hits the top of the blue), I get a judder at standstill...
Car pulls away nice and smoothe, drives lovely gearchanges feel fine and it pulls well (as well as an M40 can) but when I come to a standstill at a junction, or traffic lights etc, the idle speed is a little up and down and the car starts to judder, as if its trying to pull away. This happens if I apply the footbrake or handbrake in either P, N or D at standstill so obviously not a tranny problem.
I've given the ICV a good clean up (found an article on the net regarding that one) and no difference. Any ideas what to think about next?
Any and all input appreciated.
Cheers. :thumbs
