Default Cmax hesitates when pulling away..? 07 1.8 petrol

our newish family car seems to hesitate when pulling away, ie low revs and when lifting the clutch, its done it since we had it and if you rev it a bit as your lifting the clutch its ok. but when driving what i would say is normally it does it quite a lot.

its still in warranty so ill be phoning the garage we got it from on monday, but does anyone have any ideas? sensor etc?

its a fly by wire throttle, so i was thinking maybe that has a fault.

our friends have one also, 07 petrol 1.8 and theirs is fine.

its done just over 10k also, so low milage

any help mucho appreciated

dont have them on the petrol do they?

doesnt make any noise etc, just seems that sometimes when you pull away you get a loss of power, then its back as it should be so the car jerks a bit.

as said, its only done 10k miles so shouldnt be anything worn out - i hope
