Stalled the cupra

[chillcupra]

Went out for a drive 2nite and when I went to set off I stalled it twice. I am used to driving diesels and never stalled the leon. Any ideas?

Don't use 3rd to pull away.

 

[chillcupra]

Never done it before so was quite surprised.

 

[Mr Cellotape]

I did it a couple of times in the first week of getting the car, you soon stop doing it.

 

[chillcupra]

But how come I didnt do it in the leon. Its deffo not a fault?

Thanks

 

[Mr Cellotape]

No its not a fault, just need to give it some gas.

It's generally worse from cold for the first 30-60 seconds

blip the throttle as you start to raise the clutch and that takes up the slack. Nice and easy. Did the same in the gfs Ka first ever time I drove it (like you similar to driving tdis), blipping the throttle just helps me!

try releasing the clutch less so....and pressing the the accelerator slightly more!
