  1. Brief loss of power and belt slipping sound when turning while accelerating

    If I back out of a parking spot, put the DJ in drive and accelerate (slow or fast doesn't matter) while turning the wheel, the headlights dim briefly, it sounds like a belt slipping or (as funny as it sounds) a blow off valve releasing pressure, and I lose power for a split second. It happens every single day and every time I pull out of a spot. The car bucks as power is restored and it shoots off. Weird sh!t for sure, and frustrating. I mentioned it to a mechanic buddy and he named a steering part, but I cannot for the life of me remember what he said. 

     

    Anyone else experience this? 

     

    *EDIT* Now that I think about it, he mentioned the power steering pressure sensor/switch.

    Have you solved this issue? Seems the same on my side.

    Hello, found this forum occasionally but bet someone else met that issue on 2.0 CRD:    too slow acceleration. 

    Foot down brings only switching to the lower gear,   car starts moving sslllooowwwwwlllllyyyyy for about 10 seconds,   then good kick-off. How to remove (reduce) those 10 seconds of waiting? 

    They say gearbox reset helps, not sure, but might be anybody solved on their side?
