Leebottrill Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Hi guys, I’ve just joined this forum although it’s been long overdue. I’m hoping to have some help here. I’m not sure this is specific to the Touran but i’ve been driving at motorway speeds and noticed the engine seems to cut. If I press the clutch in and rev it, or change gear it kicks back in and it’s fine again. does that sound like it’s being starved? Perhaps oxygen or fuel? it’s just had some fairly large work done, oil leaks and cam belt and it had been working fine. thank you in advance Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volkswagen Owners Club Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 You don't mention which engine it has but if it is a diesel engine then it may be air in the fuel filter area and also check for intercooler hose connections to ensure they are tight If not rectified then maybe take it back to the garage who did the work for them to check it over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leebottrill Posted March 30, 2023 Author Share Posted March 30, 2023 its the 1.9 TDI (105PD) Its been back to the garage 3 times now. They have replaced the fuel pump and also cleaned the EGR and intake which they said had a large build up of carbon. I test drove it again yesterday and its still cutting out randomly. Annoyingly when they test drive it, or when I take them out it doesn't do it. The cut out feels like a full lack of power in gear. When I change gear or put the clutch in and rev it works fine again. The engine never dies fully. I'm a little lost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volkswagen Owners Club Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 If the engine backs off on power at a certain rev range then chances are it is the turbo variable vanes sticking with carbon deposits. Try a cleaner such as this and it should improve after a good blast to clear it through https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290806726128?epid=1142727766&hash=item43b56e7df0:g:1qUAAOSwy5Ja7ItN&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4FrhBvnHCfxtUXjT6atUxd5QA42Sq0eMSxQAwAG9rGi7bBHkUAUQq%2BxcNAVQbNTTm7WLBnmwZHM66ghTOtdqkujLIaKSfKgYr3Ll67BlQ9VLhjZ7PmP2jJGvLiTim2Yi%2BXd%2F26vqHF7M1UN%2B7pV736p73w8hpKZzQ57fkiycsGwai9QZnjbfO6Pbs1l4tOITEsMTq1nHMq%2Bhqmi7FdnLB9%2F6nupuQCpUFdid%2BF3UWPWgXDyo%2FRLfFJgxcnYXGTOYbFaJzQPIYw%2Fgt%2FXhqk26hwnzOHl968YHRwdQ6Nalle3j|tkp%3ABk9SR9D3xezvYQ or even this one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/374557349961?epid=21034033568&hash=item57355b9849:g:hA4AAOSwrHxkDCL6&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4EkWUhbxCIrZiFERLJ3MVoaSfPEkFjiM4J%2FuI1j3Qf5JXegsCb6yhJC230UjgwHYgTKaXxSmYK9O3QXI7l0i6z%2BXNWAym3mQKmYeEgO28HFsu1REhzdcRh3Toc7HcDYRv7591de%2BCB%2FksTCEcBD1%2BUl3iNNORGnUTzeuIRoid71zY8dxC2i4Jxi1OQh%2BVfG%2F%2BIaUUBkD6eBMG5eF0gmUNxTVgmqq9aV7cFlUada6OH%2B%2BCraFSRJb45rL1gZLnpTyAWpHpOTCC9ZkkZGS308%2BicENHKY%2FLQKJyXlyrQwSIpSl|tkp%3ABk9SR9D3xezvYQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leebottrill Posted May 2, 2023 Author Share Posted May 2, 2023 So I'm a month in and no real change. However, I've noticed something. When the engine cuts, if I apply the brake and go back to the accelerator it drives normally again. I'm thinking this is a brake system fault. I did have the rear brake discs, pads and a calliper done just before this all started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volkswagen Owners Club Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 oh that does sound like a brake grabbing....seized caliper or pads stuck in carrier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
