Got a Seat Toledo Sport (1997), It cuts out intermittantly, sometimes after a few miles and sometimes after 100's, theres not set patten to when and why. It re-starts after about 10 mins with no problem...any ideas??

If it is a clean cut out i.e. no spluttering and slowly shutting down then I would suspect a crank or cam sensor. Have you had the error codes read. ? Regards Peter
|
Thanks Peter, yeah theres no spluttering, just complete loss of power..It just cranks over when trying to re-start, but after about 10 mins it re-stars no problem. No I havent had error codes read, I take it that has to be done by a Seat deales? ..Ray

What's the engine size and code? [It's on cam-belt cover; inside front of handbook; label in boot.]
|
Its 1984cc...cant read label on cam belt cover, got no handbook and theres no label in boot :( , not much help there sorry ..Ray
|
There's so much variation between engines, it's hard to be accurate; but it may have 30 printed on it and be in the middle of the row of relays, one row up from the fuses.
|
wow...what can I say...I located the relay (30), pulled it out and tried to start and nothing, just cranking over, like it does when it stops intermittanly, replaced it it starts as normal, so its a new relay I need....Thanks Screwloose....your a star..Ray
p.s. I take it when it stops when driving, the relay over heats or something and breaks contact??

Pop the top off and examine the solder joints inside; usually it's the one in the bottom corner that cracks and heats up.
They're peanuts from the dealer and have been modified several times.

Thanks, I will do, much appreciated for the help and advice for this frustrating problem I been having for a few months now....Ray
