Mechanics is a relatively Cartesian field. However, if there is indeed a phenomenon that is sometimes difficult to explain, it is an unstable idle or loss of acceleration. Whether for a Citroen Tubik, or any other type of automobile. However, we can help you understand. Indeed, the origin can come from a large number of components of the engine block, even electronic. To find the origin of the breakdown of the Citroen Tubik, we will have to follow a fairly simple method. But above all, we will see the signs of a slowdown idle.idle-problem-Citroen-Tubik

Idling problem on a Citroen Tubik: symptoms

Un unstable idle close to stall . This is really the most common slow motion problem. This feeling that the vehicle can stall while driving at a usual pace, or that the Citroen Tubik grazes . It also happens that stalling occurs. It is therefore really dangerous for the driver. In this case, don't wait too long to worry about it. We invite you to check through the following paragraph. We can also understand that your Citroen Tubik has a acceleration problem . No connection in this case with a low speed problem. Losses of power and acceleration holes can occur for a variety of reasons. These two symptoms should not be confused. We suggest you browse our files related to power losses.

Citroen Tubik: developing a diagnosis to understand the origin of idling

You should start by performing several relatively easy checks, just before going into even more detail.

Idling of the Citroen Tubik: exhaust fumes.

A black smoke escapes from the exhaust. This generally means that the air and fuel mixture is out of order. But also that the air filter is obstructed. In both cases, an idling problem can occur on your Citroen Tubik. A White smoke escapes from the exhaust. This time also it can be due to a defect. White smoke is usually water vapor. It is therefore plausible that it is an intake or cylinder head gasket problem.

Checking the engine block components

As we have shown, an idling problem on a Citroen Tubik can come from many constituents. Take the time to inspect the engine block carefully. On the other hand, it is advisable to be very careful and not to touch the engine block connections too much, as this may aggravate the problem or divert the nature of the problem. We obviously suggest that you go to a mechanic for a more detailed inspection. Here, therefore, point by point, the constituents to be examined.
