Kangarooing

Hello all. I own a 2000/01 325 ci se and in the last week or two while driving it jumps only once then its fine but a min or two later it may do it again. Has anyone had this problem before or know what could be wrong cheers. Jamie

Auto or manual trans?

Likely a manual trans in first or just getting into 2nd gear??

Bit vague. Does it hop when you have just engaged the clutch and are moving off from a standing position in first gear? Does it do it when accelerating in any gear? Bit more info please.

Sorry it's manual

Only when driving. Doesn't do it when changing gear.

You sure its a hop and not a stall. Like the ignition suddenly switches off and on again?

@OP are you "new" to your car?.. i think that's normal and happens when your really slow on first gear to second.. it will happen to say your one 3rd gear and go really slow.. i think..

i might try this later but AFAIK it's normal.. i could be wrong tooo hahaha.

I thought something todo with the airflow sensor but I'm no mechanic.

if it's 30-40 then it's not.. AFAIK this happens only when your slow or slowing down..

but the kangaroo thing - i always to that to the GF before (now my wife for + years) and plays with it and she hated it every time ..
