Power Loss

[magocks]

Recently My 01 Tdi Toledo Has Been Losing Power Intermittently. The Turbo Does Not Appear To Be Kicking In And Therefore I Can Only Get Up To 60 Mph On The Flat. If I Switch The Car Off It Resets And The Power Is Back Again. It Seems To Occur Only In The Morning.

Any Ideas Anybody????

possibly a sensor failure to do with cold starts, or long standing starts where the car hasn't been run for a long time after cold. pop it down to a diesel engine specialist not a seat dealer. they should be able to help you at a fraction of the cost.

I Took Out At Lumley Warranty When I Bought The Car At A Seat Garage, Do You Think It Will Cover The Costs

I have same problem with my remapped 180 cupra tends to only happen in the mornings. Maybe i should go and get mine checked out

it would be interesting to get someone with vag com on a laptop to have a look if any fault codes have been logged when its not working right, then it would give you something to go on.

Took the car to local Seat garage on monday, turns out the Turbo is at fault. £1000 to replace and fit. Thankfully the warranty covers the whole job.

It Turns Out The Turbo Was Failing On My Car, Thankfully The Warranty I Bought Covered The Entire Refit £1000. Some Difference In The Responsiveness Of The Engine Now. Def A Good Idea To Buy Third Party Warranty.
