959 Cold Starting

  1. Contacted my Ducati dealer today re: cold starting, as in not starting and said that they have been on to Ducati and an update? will come out soon and that it has affected other models including the new Diavel! Watch this space.
     
  2. Sounds like fuelling. A few euro reg cars have had similar issues including my missus's Abarth 595 on hot start more so.
     
  3. Mrs T is after a 595 Abarth - whats your thoughts on them?
     
  4. Massively depends on what she's looking for in a car buddy... And what type of driving she does...?
     
  5. Mostly school run and round town......any long distance we have a 435.
     
  6. Cramped and tiny in the back. The boot is tiny. I'm 6ft3 and struggle with the driving position.

    Brakes feel a little vague.

    Suspension is very crashy.

    Not massively stable at high speed through bends.

    But it does make you smile and our hasn't let us down.

    Drive one and decide for yourselves bud

  7. As above. Crashy suspension and stability somewhat cured by coilovers on mine and brakes replaced with brembo 4 pots up front. They are not sophisticated, but fun and sound lovely with the Akrapovic exhaust!

    No cold starting problems on my 959.

  8. Or mine

    My mates MV 800 RC won't start when it's warm though which makes petrol station fill ups fun
     
  9. Perhaps it caught sight of its 'tail end' in its mirrors and couldn't bear the thought of being seen out?
     
  10. What's wrong with the tail end?

  11. Ahhhh..... the expensive surgery option..... used by so many to correct nature's cruel mistakes :wink::grinning:
     
  12. He's Australian - they aren't euro 4.
     
  13. Maybe we won't be either in a few days?!?! :eek:penmouth:
     
  14. Love how many people say 'try no throttle'. Seriously who the hell thinks u need a handful of throttle to start any modern vehicle?
