182 "holding back" from cold

[ste_brough]

Just a quick query, whenever driving the 182 from cold it will feel as if it is holding back slightly. I really have to press the accelerator to get it to move and smooth gear changes are next to impossible ....

Only does for a couple of hundred yards normally, then you feel it "let go"

Is this normal or is something at fault?

Hope that makes sense!

Completely normal. They are all the same.

 

[aucky]

Standard.

 

[Feates172]

Mines the same, exhaust does a little pop too sometimes.

Is that normal as well? Always been like it. Only had it a month though

 

[RDH]

Yup, they are sh*t when cold, completely normal.

 

[daveski]

My 172 was the same. Hated it when cold.

 

[MartinR]

Normal

 

[Knuckles]

yup. 197s (mine at least) are worse... takes f**king ages to warm up after work... oddly enough it warms up in 5 minutes in the morning

OK, cheers guys!

My 182 does it too. Admittedly only since I got my decat. My 172 was always fine though.

My 172 was the same. Hated it when cold.

Yours really needed a new H02 sensor to Dave which made it even worse.

Perfectly normal.

Get a decat, embrace the spitting/pops

 

[pupster92]

Yup normal, mine does it as well, although mine does need either a CTS or Lambda

Hi folks, good to read its normal. Mine does it too for the first maybe 500 meters aftergoing out of the garage and closing it, but it also has an error Upstream oxygen sensor coming up, so i will check on it and maybe it gets better when solved.

Mine is the same. Even pops between gear changes haha

 

[davo172]

Completely normal. They are all the same.

This ^^^ Had my 172 10 years next month and done it since day one !

Sometimes mine literally will not even rev at all, then like you say it frees up. Took mine to the garage over it, where a multitude of other problems were found, culminating in me spending a rather obscene amount of money fixing those. That "problem" remains.

 

[Alx]

Mine always does this.. I tap the accelerator on purpose as i slow down to make lots of pops

Yepp my 182 also does this (not that you need to know as the guys above said its normal!) But yeah, "holding back" is the perfect definition of how I would also describe it. Bloody annoying.
