Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Engine sounds like it's misfiring on cold start-up (actually since I detailed on the weekend) Starts first time, sounds very rough. No CEL at any time, and it does seem to go away after I've driven for a while. Either that or I just can't hear it when on the road. Likely that I could have a misfire and no CEL at all? Dealer listened to the (now warm) engine and said 'they all run rough at start-up' 03 C2 with 8,500 miles. Chris.
If it was a misfire you would feel it while driving, I think its possible to have a dirty MAS air, do a search and there are a few good tips on how to clean it. Your dealer is an idiot they dont all run rough on start up, Find a new dealer.
