Just got my is200 se platinum 1999 40k miles flsh mint cond.

Best looking car on the road and cant help sneaking a look at it whenever i can.

I do have two annoying gremlins that i would appreciate any help that you kind people can offer>

1. the car suffers from cluch judder when pulling away from cold, to pull away sucsessfully you have to give the car a lot of revs which make me look like my grandmother performing a hill start in her fiesta, not good.

2. I love the ride quality and the quietness of the car whilst on the move. problem is the seat creeck of every small bump?

any help is greatly appreciated with this otherwise stunning car. ohh 29.3mpg knocks spots of my outgoing 325i

1) It has been known to be a problem with some IS's....new clutch is on the horizon.

2)Check its bolted down properly.

First post?..........Welcome :D

Reset ECU see if that helps. Know what you mean about the looks, every time I park up, I sneek a peak! :D

Hello!

I also have a 99SE (had it a month now) I was also initially concerned about clutch judder, and mine has had a new clutch, I found it was just a case of getting used to the amount of revs to give when pulling away...

After a week didn't notice it at all, enjoy your new motor :winky:

Are you sure its the seat and not the seat belt buckle which is a common problem :)

Resetting the won't wouldn't change anything.

Mine used to creak too, its generally the bolt where the seat belt fastener is on the left side of your seat. Squib some oil in there and work it in a little bit and it should be fine.
