Oh yeh if anyone lives nearby & isn't very hands on I'm quite happy to lend a hand, just pop round !!

Bought a Lupo Sport for the wife a couple of weeks ago and the switch for the passenger window (from the drivers side) didn't operate in the down direction!. Obviously I promised to rectify this more than once Then one evening this week she came home from a trip to the shops complaining about the window switch for both windows, she had to get out of the car at a carpark barrier . Anyway's I sort of had to take a look! after removing the problem double switch and stripping it down it was sorted as follows. The switch itself is a single unit that can be inserted into any of the 3 locations i.e. single or double. The bottom of the switch has four small lugs, 2 on each side, if these are forced apart with a suitabley small screw driver the switch itself will come apart. Inside is a P.C.B with 4 small metal disc shaped contacts, I removed these 1 at a time and cleaned under the disc and the bottom of the disc itself, with lots of WD40 and a couple of cotton buds. When they were re-installed the windows all worked perfectly even the one touch operation in both directions on both windows...RESULT... and Yes the wife was well chuffed

Iv'e always had VW,s it runs in the family, iv got a 1966 beetle still with us for more than 25 years. Just a quick question how do I get a copy of a repair manual for the lupo with out buying it on e-bay? regards Ashwin

Hi all this is my first post on this forum, so here goes !! I got my wife a 2002 Lupo Sport a couple of weeks ago and last week the warning light on the dash lit up! A mate of mine with a garage plugged in his diagnostic gizmo which displayed the code "16786 Exhaust Gas Recirculation system flow too high P0402". As we got 3 months warrenty with the car I left him with the details of said warrenty and I assume he is sorting out a quote for them, BUT driving home tonight the said warning lamp went OUT!! Does this mean the problem has cured itself? Will it return? Is this likely to be a problem until the valve is replaced? Any answers to any or all of these problems would greatly appreciated.
