      I have hesitation etc every now and then but at the moment it isn't happening on a very regular basis so it's impossible to replicate at a dealer!

        Have a bit over 1K km and running fine. I know I don't drive much just hard when I do.

          I have hesitation, and when I turn corners heavily and accelerate the ESP kicks in for some reason and cuts power :-/

            The ESP will cut power only when it detects a spinning wheel, so sounds like your spinning up when cornering

              Occassional loss of power tends to be at 2750revs but clears after releasing throttle,fault detected is knock sensor seems to happen in higher gears so i guess its when my engine is underload.

                3500 miles in and everything seems ok so far. The body rattles are coming along nicely though.

                          noisy vacuum pump, and a loose ancillaries pulley replaced - but has only 'farted' and lost power once in 15,000 miles, so no issues in the terms of your poll
