Driving car after sitting in the sun
Now it could be me, but the Scoob definitely seems to feel a bit well 'pants' when first driving away after it has been sat in direct sunlight for a long length of time ?? I find if the car is started from cold as in a cool morning then it feels fine but start it when its warm and she seems to hesitate a fair bit for some time. I don't push the car at all until shes warmed up but even then she does feel a little lethargic ?
Could the heat from the sun have any adverse effects on the car when first starting up ?? Surely not
