Question

Just bought P1 and have noticed that when in high gear (4th or 5th) and I floor it at 3-4000rpm the engine immediately surges to about 5000rpm then drops back to about 4400/4500 rpm before revving on as normal.

Is this normal?? Car is std (as far as i'm aware) apart from SS back box.

Thanks Tony. A quick trip to the dealer required!! Do you think this would this be included under warranty?

Yup, if its the clutch then yes it should be covered under warranty.
How many miles has your P1 done??
