acceleration

today leaving work after letting the car warm up slightly, few mins on tick over. i pulled out onto main road changed into second and squezzed the throttle and an awful juddering feeling came from the engine and sounded like it was running on 3 cylinders. i thought coil pack right away, but no...

Hi there, I've not had the ibiza long (remapped 130 tdi). I thought i should get the tracking done just as a matter of course. The chap at the garage said it was miles out, so he adjusted it accordingly and off i went. Within a few miles i felt it pull to the left when i accelerated...

Hi all, I'm looking for a bit of advice from anyone that has experienced anything similar. I've been having issues with coil packs for the last few months. I had two replaced with new ones back in December and then another one replaced earlier in the week with a 2nd hand part. The car has...

Car: Seat Leon TDI SE (2001) Problem: knock in door on acceleration and braking. Has anyone had a knock from the drivers door when accelerating hard or with a quick brake? I have a knock when there is a change in momentum in the car. It has been doing my head in, I thought it was a...

When I tap the accelerator slightly i get a slight jerk then it goes like hell. Any ideas. Does it in most gears. Also the calpier paint on one of the brakes is comming off a bit. Could this be sorted under warranty? Thanks

Hi I have a problem with acceleration,which some of you guys have helped me out with in the past....unfortunately i've still got it 6 months on. The car is a 1.8 t cupra 52 plate The problems I notice are: 1: When accelerating moderately in low gears,the car seems to jerk as if the turbo...

I get a creak from the drivers side rear as I'm pulling away (it doesn't happen all the time but on a regular basis), could this be the well known rear seat latch noise? I had a freind in the back yesterday and she said that it seemed to be coming from the rear post/seat/door area though she...

Hi everyone, got a 1.9TDI FR on 1st Sep, and I'm absolutely loving it, but one small niggle I have is that somwhere (usually around 1600-1800 revs) in each gear, when smoothly (or slowly) accelerating the car stutters. It seems to be about where the turbo would start to kick in, and doesn't...

In the last week I have had a new MAF fitted by the dealer as I was getting the orange TCS light on the dash. They have changed it, but when the car is cold if I accelerate too much the TCS light is still coming on and staying on. When I recycle the ignition ot goes off. I have tried to...

a while ago i have noticed that my 2005 1.2 ibiza started making squeaking whistling noise on accelaration mostly in the mornings when the engine is cold and mostly when i pressed the accelerator down hard, going up hill or something. the noise would appear only between 1200 and 2000rpm on any...

Hey Recently when i accelerate hard when the car sitting in low revs the revs climb really heavily and then drop again, its as if the engine is goin without the turbo and then the turbo kicks in?? Any ideas on wat the problem cud be?? As got proper no cash at moment and dont really fancy...

Hey guys I've noticed that my car pulls to the left when i accelerate hard from low speeds. this is most noticable when at a speed hump. does anyone know what the problem is, if any?? tyre pressure has been checked already

With the new version of Vagcom you can measure 0-60, 0-100 30-70, 1/4 mile, blah blah, How accurate is it? and How does it know how far you are traveling??? Regards Adam

A strange noise has recently become noticeable under acceleration on my Seat Leon 1.9tdi (90bhp) ('51plate). Basically at around about the 1.5k-2k revs mark there is a noise from the accelerator that sounds like 'interference'. It sounds like something electronic – almost like two electric...

Just Wondering What Size Alloy Would Be Advisable For Quicker Acceleration/ 0-60 Times Etc. Currently Got Some 17" Wolf Race Rims, It Just Doesn't Feel As Rapid As It Wants To Be. Cheers In Advance For Any Advice/ Info.

I've got my car booked in today to look at a couple of ongoing niggles including rattles etc. One of my main concerns being a decline in initial acceleration -I asked the dealership to look at it. I was suprised with the response saying it's not a warranty issue and is service/ extra chargeable...

nice clean linear acceleration to 100mph, not bad for a lardy mkiv Mods to this car, turbodynamics stage 2 turbo, Fmic, uprated sachs clutch. http://media.putfile.com/MOV00506-27

I've noticed that when my car (Mk 4 20VT) is cold and when on boost about 2000rpm it starts to rattle/ flutter, as though there is something wrong with the turbo, but when its warmed up the noise dissapears. It also sometimes happens when the car hasn't been on boost for a while i.e. just...

any one here got a non-revo mk4 petrol cupra and notice what i can describe as pulsing acceleration especially noticeable in 3rd gear going flat out? i have driven 4 other petrol cupras and they all did the same thing? can anyone enlighten me? :think:

just filled up with petrol tonight left the garage and put my foot down in second and there was a rattle rather like a blowwing exhaust but mixed with a tinny sound. while driving home noticed it only did it in second at between 2500 and about 4000 rpm. i think it might be the re circ valve as...
