Hi guys over the last few months have noticed a rough idle problem on start up everytime i goto go home from work.

When i start the car in the morning 9.00am all is fine and quiet off to work i go and park it in the car park then 5.30pm comes to go home start the car and rough idle for 3 - 4mins then settles down, it sounds horrible like blown exhaust.

Has anyone else exprienced a rough idle?

Cheers chris

Yes I have experienced the same thing twice and like you after a couple of minutes at idle it sorted itself out - since having had it's first service (including a change of plugs) it has been fine - I have the 250 by the way

Cheers mate yea ive got the 250 aswell only 5000 on the clock.. service not due till oct.. surely not it needs new plugs at only 5000 miles. ill have a trip to dealers say what they say i need to sort the sqeaky clutch out so tell them about that aswell.

I've got the 270 and its the same, most days when I leave work and some mornings. I don't think its rough, just revving a little higher when ticking over. You can feel it drop of after a couple of minutes as it goes back to normal. I think its just how the engine and the ecu are set up. There are a couple of other cars in the office car park with highly tuned engines that sound very similar on start up.
