1.6S stalling when i turn right :s - SEAT Cupra.net

mattcymru · 14-03-2007, 22:10

Ive done some searching but have found nothing exact to my problem....

sometimes my leon makes a grinding (like something spinning) noise after it turns over on startup and some times it wont start at all first time although touch wood it normally does.

also now ive had several occassions when i turn right at a junction or pull off and if i turn a little before releasing the clutch/applying the throttle, the revs will drop and stall

has anyone had anything similar as i dont know where to start and feel v.frustrated after only having this car for 6 weeks!

any advice will be muchly appreciated as always!

Cheers

Matt

power steering pressure switch.

mattcymru · 14-03-2007, 22:15

if so how much

*goble* · 14-03-2007, 22:16

mattcymru · 14-03-2007, 22:19

thanks! what does the power steering pressure switch do out of interest then?

and dont mean to be rude but how you know its defo that?!

*goble* · 14-03-2007, 22:22

detects the amount of pressure applied to the pump and alters the rpm to increase.
why? 1 because i'm a tech and 2 ive changed them due to this

mattcymru · 14-03-2007, 22:24

ahh thanks, didnt mean to offend in any way!

is it expenisve?

also have you any ideas about the starting up problem im having?

thanks very much

*goble* · 14-03-2007, 22:26

no offence taken
sounds like youve got a dodgy starter motor

mattcymru · 14-03-2007, 22:28

ok thanks very much for the responses, much appreciated

if someone happens to come across this thread would they mind posting the cost of a power steering pressure switch and a starter motor roughly if they know?

Cheers

*goble* · 15-03-2007, 21:57

nah not really should take no more than 1/2 hour just need to get some fluid to top up after and run steering lock to lock to bleed system.

mattcymru · 15-03-2007, 22:05
