- 2012 SV6 Commodore Sportswagon
Hi all,
I bought a new SV6 Commodore Sportwagon 6 days ago (straight from the factory, only 17kms on it when I received it). For the first 3-4 days I was amazed at how smooth the car was on start up - completely quiet and still even when cold. The quietest and smoothest car I've ever driven.
Since about the 4th day every time I start the car it runs rough and shudders slightly when idling - that is until it has been driven for a while. It's not extremely rough or anything, but enough to notice a significant difference from when I bought it. The car runs fine while driving, but until it's warm it will run a bit rough while sitting in park or stopped at traffic lights.
Is it normal to notice this kind difference after only 4 days? I know that a lot of cars run a bit rough when cold, but to notice a difference within 4 days of ownership seems extreme. I've spent a hell of a lot of money on this car and am getting a bit worried.
I've treated the car well and have only filled up with premium petrol so far. The only thing I can think of is that I do drive a fair distance to work (40 km), but the dealership knew about this and didn't say anything about it being a problem, and the manual doesn't say anything about avoiding this either. It's not as if I've driven interstate or anything.
Probably a complete noob question, but thanks in advance for your help.
