Cutting out when breaking

[Nathan1305]

My car just randomly cut out twice today when breaking, any idea what this could be?

bad earth would be my guess.

I used to have this joy with my gti... it was a faulty ICV. But it was when the revs dropped... dropped the clutch

If it's when you drop the clutch coming up to a junction, it will be ICV

I've got a brand new ICV it's not when the revs are low it's just random it's only happened 2-3 times. I find it's when the car isn't warmed up or driven straight from start up

Where was the new ICV from? cheap ones dont do a great job

It was a brand new Magnetti Marelli one from ECP. It's a matching number one so it's definitely for my car. It idles great it just cuts the engine when I brake but like I said this is only the third time it's happened

Could be faulty.

Could be faulty.

That kinda sucks if it is :/ might have to give it a really good service soon and see if that fixes it

Dont dip the clutch when braking??

Left foot brake and clutchless changes like a racegodboss

Get the ICV replaced again and then try it, if not then it's a dodgy earth.

Yeah I may have to ring ECP tomorrow and see about returning it
