Really Strange Power Loss!

Squealey · Dec 14th, 2015, 22:13

Hi All

My 2003 S60 D5 has developed a really strange problem and I'm sure its not in my head.

If I have the cruise control on and go round a long left hand sweeping bend at, say, 55mph, the car seems to loose power ever so slightly. It slows by a couple of mph then picks itself up and gets back up to speed again.

I've also noticed that pulling out of a junction, again only turning left, that the traction control appears to cut in when it has no right to do so.

Has anyone come across this before or am I going slightly mad?

Cheers all
Wayne

Yes it has been seen before and no you're not going mad.
This hasn't happened to me but I've seen a few on here with the same issue, sometimes righthanders, and if memory serves it was down to ABS rings or the driveshaft bolts being loose. The STC or DTSC gets a fright and wimps out
