Unfortunately there is a delay and made worse by switching your foot from brake to accelerator, you just have to anticipate and always be aware on pulling out into a roundabout or from a junction, it can be scary at times when traffic is heavy.

Mine was like that until advice from above, keep off the foot brake, hold it on the Hand Brake, then it's fine.

if you use both feet when your stationary it will have a severe hesitation when you pull away. Try leaving the brake alone first & see how it goes

Mine is the same and has also caught me out a few times after 30+ years of manual gearboxes.

The eD4 was a company car so the lower list price and CO2 minimised the tax and lease cost. When I 'opted out' of the car scheme I no longer had to consider that aspect and the SD4 came along at the right time/price - simples... |

Hold it on the handbrake, the ECU detects the foot brake in use and kills the engine power, try it, drive along at 20 mph and touch the brake gently, the engine power dies off then comes back.

Andy's method is a bit extreme for me |

Was something fixed? The reason I ask is i'm sure the hesitation has got worse in the last few days. Foot off the brake, car rolling forwards for seconds then press the accelerator and nothing - Its well over a second before the cars speed increases above that of the car just rolling. It feels like the car is constantly pulling away in 2nd gear (somebody will now tell me its supposed to do this in D) |

It shouldn't pull away in 2nd unless in sport mode.
