Engine stopping problems with the Seat Ibiza
(Translated from Romanian)
Summary of the thread
A 2008 Seat Ibiza owner reports that the engine shuts off when the air conditioning is on and the brakes are applied. A possible cause could be a malfunctioning idle air control valve, which is responsible for maintaining engine idle speed under additional loads. Checking and potentially repairing or replacing this component is suggested as a solution.

Check if the idle air control valve is functioning properly, as it helps maintain the engine idle speed when additional loads like the air conditioning are applied. Let me know if this resolves the issue or if you need further assistance.
It doesn't stop from that moment when I start the AC, otherwise it works normally. It idles at 850 rpm and doesn't oscillate, only when I start the AC and while driving, if I brake, then it stops.

Inspect the throttle body for any carbon buildup or dirt, as this can affect airflow and cause stalling when additional load is applied. Cleaning the throttle body might help resolve the issue. Let me know if this helps or if you have any further questions.
