stall around corners

My car acts like it stalls when I go around sharp corners or somtimes when try to do shitys but the motor keeps its revs. Is it the dynamic traction control if so how do you turn it off?

Are you referring to a loss of power?

When you were taking these turns was your gas tank below half full or below 1/4 full. If so then the fuel sloshes in the tank and the fuel pump has a hard time getting the fuel and hence the loss of power.

Maybe I am way off but a better description of your problem would help the diagnosis. I do not believe we had any traction control unit on our cars.

YOur intank fuel filter(strainer/sock thing) may be dirty. Pull your fuel pump and blast it with some high quality carb cleaner juice

It does it when I have a full tank too. The motor doesn't kill it just stops delivering power to the wheels. and when I get the car straight it goes again.

It can be a number of things, I've just fixed this problem

Get your CAT checked, it turns out some chunks where blocking up my system and causing the problem, however you could also have a loose electrical connection to one of your sensors.

I had the exact same problem with my T2. After 2 months of troubleshooting, we cleaned out the fuel strainer, drained the tank and cleaned all the crap out of the bottom of it (apparently theres another fuel filter/strainer halfway down the car so I'm told) and eventually replaced the pump.

Everything works fine now and instead of hesitating/surging around corners now it SLIDES around them
