Turbo 182 cut out when idling

[Con.SW]

Hi all!

I'm currently looking and have been to view a turbo 182. When on the test drive the car seemed to not want to idle when at junctions and unless you revved it slightly it would cut out.

Apart from that the car ran spot on.

Just wanted to check to see if this is a major issue and if I was to buy it where I would start looking at first? Battery? the map? throttle body build up?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers!

Who did the conversion?

Personally if it drives like that on a test drive I would be walking away 🤣

Or better still save yourself the cash and hassle and don't buy a clio turbo proper money pits they are!

If it's cheap take a punt. Break if you can't fix it.

If they're wanting good money for a car with obvious problems walk away.

If it was an easy issue to sort, the seller would have sorted it before selling.

If its a problem of your own creating that's one thing but buying a car with a problem like that is asking for an expensive and lengthy diag and fix. I'd walk away.

Winds me up no end in adverts "It only needs this" "Cheap fix, £20 from eBay" They know full well it needs more spending on it or they would have sorted it.
