nhawan Posted March 20, 2006 Report Posted March 20, 2006 Hi, this is my first post so am hoping someone can help!! my Seat Alhambra PD TDi has developed a problem recently where the engine stumbles and hesitates at low revs. The revs drop in a jerky manner intermittently when the clutch is moved to biting point. The car drives fine as long as revs above 1800rpm are maintained. Driving in first or second gear with revs lower than 1700rpm causes the car to stumble and jerk voilently as if a high gear has been engaged. Another thing that I've noticed is that it makes a kind of whooshing /whirring sound when it does start to stumble/hesistate. The sound seems to come from the driver's side of the engine bay. I am guessing and hoping it's something to do with the fuel filter or could it be something much more serious? :rolleyes: I hope someone can help.. Quote
chevron169 Posted March 21, 2006 Report Posted March 21, 2006 Mine's 2.3 petrol with hesitation problems. Cured by checking the plug that connects the lamda sensor into the main wiring. It just needed pushing together properly! Quote
nhawan Posted March 23, 2006 Author Report Posted March 23, 2006 do diesels have a lamda sensor and if so where is it located? Quote
Guest galaxykid Posted March 23, 2006 Report Posted March 23, 2006 Not sure if they do? but if they do? it will in the exhaust system in and around the catalytic convertor area? Quote
