Title: 2.5td stalling with rear window heater! and more
Post by: spikerz on 15 July 2009, 22:23:36

i have a post in general help about my car stalling when put into drive/reverse etc.(more details there)
just been sitting in car trying a few things and it stalls when i put the rear window heater/demister on,lights with fogs on too,power steering etc.
will also stall when sitting giving slight revs on/off the accelerator.
Seems if a lot of power is being used it stalls, but not every time.
Any ideas?

Have you checked the output of the Alternator and also the battery for a dead cell, just a thought :-/.

I think your issue is still mechanical/fueling on idle...

I have to say that I`d be poking around the alternator and battery myself - electrikery can do some funny things

changed the battery today for one the right size.(big long ones that i'm sure it should have).one that was on was small.(no difference in stalling in drive/reverse,still stalls with slight acceleration on/off) but although revs still drop, it didnt stall today with rear window heater etc.
left car with my brother now,hes going to have a look.

Alternator seems to be ok.Battery gives reading of over 12 volts and with engine running,over 13.
Today,(yesterday i got no codes?) another paperclip test got..
23 Accelerator Position Sensor Not In Idle Range(never had this one before)
and
64 Fuel Quantity Control Out of Range(had it before,comes and goes)
