its a long shot but could be in limp mode? check your brake switches and lights -

Hey thank you for your reply after doing some research it looks easier to buy performance disc's than to change the hub ive seen some brake disc's which are 239mm x 10mm solid or 239mm x 18mm vented, i currently have standard solid disc's and calipers do i need to change the caliper to have the vented disc's? these are the solid ones: http://www.europerfo...oduct=555668196 these are the vented ones: http://www.europerfo...oduct=555668197 thanks James

Hello i have a standard 1.0l Arosa and wondered if there are any brake upgrades i can do to get a better brake performance as ive often felt like my brakes could be alot better it doesnt have ABS but any i would consider any options, ive been reading about putting G60's on but lack the information about this upgrade and if it would make a difference at all thank you James

How many o2 sensors does a 1.4 lupo have ?
jamesb16 replied to Majeed's topic in Car Care, Maintenance and Mechanical
i think there are two 1 is in the manifold and the other is along the exhaust system in the cat housing, the one in the cat can be unscrewed but i think the one in the manifold is welded in hope this helps -
sounds like a clutch problem to me, the way the car judders when the clutch is de-pressed, the clutch is adjusted it a little too much and is just slipping causing the juddering hope this helps J.B

hey i had this problem with the interior light but firstly when you leave the headlights and you open the door do you hear the alarm? because the drivers side switch on mine wasnt making contact, so the switch was thinking the door was closed when it was in fact open! so all i did was turn on the headlights, take off the door card, open the door and move the switch around until i heard the alarm and fix the switch in that position i hope this helps James B

have you tried tracing the pipe? because i had the same problem and i traced the pipe, the rear seat behind the passenger the plastic arm rest thing remove that and you should see the pipe in a foam enclosing, the pipe has a connector in the foam so all i did was connect it back together and the washer works! i hope this is helpful james b
