When im driving in 1st or 2nd gear sometime the car tend to chug a little. Even tho ive brought my foot completely off the clutch and am just speeding up a little.
Happened on the 197 too - kangeroo style, it tended to be when cold, but even throughout driving it sometimes happened. Renault did an ECU remap to try and get rid of it, but it occasionally still happened. Might be the same thing?
^ doesn't always disappear after a minute, it'll get better after a minute. It shouldn't do it at all after it's fully warmed up - say 10 minutes it'll be fully warm. But with the 197s the upgrade on the ECU helped.
Ok, I didn't know how badly it affected different cars. My 197 (hasn't had ecu upgrade) only kangeroos for the first minute (1/2 mile). I thought they had sorted that on the 200?
Well it'll happen on all sports till it's warm... It's the nature of the car - or so Renault told me. If it's happening when it's been on a while it could be a fault. If it's a well reported problem then they'll probably do the same with an ECU upgrade.
Cool, it does only seem to be when its warming up. But hey if its a character flaw then its one that i can live with cos so far i still love the car. Its a great little runner.

yeah as needster said its a common fault on 197's mines going in soon to get an ECU remap. hopefully they'll do the same for 200's. Its not a full fix for 197s from what iv heard but does improve. HTH
had it the first time today, and that only for a second... never had before and im running often under -10°C here... was bit irritated but swept it aside as a one timer... till i saw this But well... once every few thousand miles doesnt bother me.
