Seat leon fr went bang and cut out
« on: May 05, 2016, 08:46:51 am »
I was on my way to uni when I got a call from my mate.

He was on his way to part exchange his leon fr bwa for a gt86 (such bad timing!) when he said hes gone over a speed bump, heard a loud "twang" noise and the engines cut out. No warnings. any advise before I arrive would be great.

He said he tried turning it back on once and it grumbled but then he decided not to try again incase hes done damage to it.

Rule it out by unplugging the MAF - car will run without any boost pipework

Removing camcover wont tell you much. Have you checked belt? Are you sure this isn't the same thing that happened to you?
