Broke down this morning,
2001 ibiza cupra
Fine for the first 10 minutes of the journey and travelling at about 60mph then put my foot down a bit and it juddered, got into a village after and it went into limp mode, the battery light came on for a few seconds then went off, then the TCS traction control light came on
Car then stalled just as I was pulling into some randoms driveway in the little village so I could take a look at it
Didn’t have the laptop on me to vagcom it so…
Disconnected the battery and tried to start it, it started but revs fluttered up and down then it stalled
Disconnected battery again and disconnected the MAF aswell, and it idled fine and got me to work
Sounds dodgy when its spooling so I think I might have a pipe that’s popped off, maybe one of my intercooler pipes
Hopefully its just that, a pipes popped off which screwed up the airflow and confused the hell out of the maf
I’ll get it on vagcom tonight and will get under it and check all my pipes, it definitely sounded differently when even slightly spooling up so fingers crossed its just a pipe and its easy to find (as it’ll be dark, cold and wet)
