seems to try and cut out

[brad1]

hi all
just recently again my car done something wierd, i have a seat leon tdi110 and when going round roundabouts, a tad faster than normal coming out the roundabout it feels like the car goes into limp mode with no turbo and feels like it tries to cut out, but if i keep my foot down, the turbo eventually kicks backs in after about 5 to 10 seconds and everything is ok
no faults have showed on vag com, just wondered what the problem could be?
any help

Wonder if the fuel pump is on the way out, and doesn't have the power to feed the engine enough fuel when its cornering, although i would expect there to be some kind of fault code.

there is none mate that showed on vag com, how much do you think a new pump is?

 

[daveyonthemove]

No idea, but it could be something simpler so don't price one up yet.
I had a thought after my first post. Have you checked all connections are secure and not frayed/damaged? If its ok on the straights, but cutting out on corners, something electrical may be loose.

where do i go about checking connections etc
cheers

If you've had any recent work done under the bonnet, check in that area.
Not sure otherwise mate, i'm just trying to give you ideas of something to look for. Without VAGcom giving clues, its hard to diagnose.

thats cool mate, i aint had no work done under the bonnet, maybe i might just buy a new fuel pump after looking at it seriously, where can you can access to the fuel pump and are they hard or easy to change????

No idea mate, if i had access to vagcat i could probably point you in the general direction, but its been down for a while now.

fuel pump is accessed by lifting the rear driver side seat and removing the panel under the carpet.

Could it be the oil not gettin to the turbo? remember reading some where when cornering to hard all the oil can move from the spot where it gets sucked up leading to lack of oil....

I think it was on the oil bible webby, have you checked the oil?(silly Q I know) when was your last oil change? or what fuel do you use?

Was it the TCS? mine always cuts the power but not for 10 secs( tho it feels it)
hit the go button and wait!! it spoils all my fun

to be honest, my car has now done 83k and when i got it at 72k it had oil and filter change, i will change again very soon anyway, been meaning to do it since begining of december
