Title: Car cutting out on a slow left turn?
Post by: GTi_James on 21 September 2013, 19:25

As above guys, the motor drives fine but then when I pull into a parking bay for example it cuts out? What could this be?

Are you low on fuel? Causing fuel starvation briefly maybe?

Pas on its way out, Causing to much load on the engine when idling so stalls the engine ?

check your engine bay closely for dodgy wires that could be moving and shorting out on something.

well checked everything as well as chris's advice last night on power steering fluid, noticed the Maf plug was loose and pushed it back in, pulled a bit of black wire out of the alternator which was wierd and checked for all other loose wires, now i got a lumpy idle on an irregular basis, had the coilpack recall etc, looking to get the TIP fitted this weekend and up date as i go i suppose
