Mechanics is a relatively logical area. But if there is indeed a problem that is sometimes complex to explain, it is an unstable idle or acceleration holes. Whether for a Seat Tribu, or any model of vehicle. But we are here to help you. Undeniably, the reason can come from a good quantity of components of the engine block, even electronic. To find the source of the breakdown of this Seat Tribu, you have to respect a fairly simple methodology. But above all, we will see the signs of a faulty idle.
Idling problem on a Seat Tribu: symptoms
Un unstable idle close to stall . This is completely the most common idle malfunction. This impression that the engine may stall while driving at normal speed, or that the Seat Tribu grazes . It may also happen that stalling occurs. In this situation, it is a real danger for the motorist. If so, don't wait too long to take care of it. We invite you to carry out a check through the following paragraph. We can also understand that the Seat Tribu has a acceleration malfunction . No more links this time with low-speed dysfunction. Losses of power and acceleration holes will be able to appear for multiple reasons. We must avoid confusing these two phenomena. We invite you to read our posts related to power losses.
Seat Tribu: develop a diagnosis to understand the origin of the idle
You have to start by performing several very simple checks, just before going into a little more detail.
Idling of the Seat Tribu: exhaust fumes.
A black smoke comes out of the exhaust. This often means that the air and fuel mixture is out of order. Or the air filter is clogged. In both situations, an idle malfunction may appear on this Seat Tribu. A White smoke comes out of the exhaust. In this case again it may be due to a disturbance. White smoke is often water vapor. It is therefore plausible that it is a malfunction of the intake or of the cylinder head gasket.
Checking the engine block components
As we said, an idle malfunction on the Seat Tribu can come from several points. You should therefore try to travel the engine block carefully. However, it is recommended to be extremely careful and not to tamper with the elements of the engine block, as this can amplify the problem or conceal the source of the malfunction. We obviously suggest that you go to a mechanic for a more in-depth diagnosis. These are therefore point by point the constituents to be examined.
- The first thing to do is check all of the hoses . They can be pierced, or even detached.
- You also have to look at the sensors and sensors of your engine block. It is however difficult to check their correct functioning. You can find tutorials on youtube, and it usually requires electronic devices.
- Perform a control of pressures Hydraulic. Again, the pressure tests require adequate tools.
Idle concerns are common, however, are difficult to recognize. A visual check on the Seat Tribu gives the opportunity to have an idea, however it is wiser not to venture into amateur DIY.
