  1. Hi everyone, Does anyone no the number of the relay required for the horn on a Lupo GTI? Horn doesn't work of the button and the following has been checked: - Wiring to and from the wheel - MOMO earthing correct and tested - Horn functions when wired directly (currently has a second cable lashed in to pass the mot) - No relay clicking and there is a relay missing from the contact board although. - Tried TPS and looked through wiring diagram but both suggest it can be 1 of 15 relays with no suggestions as to which one. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers - Rob
  2. Having the same bother with mine; plugged it into vagcom and it wouldnt recognise the key, was advised that the comfort module may be on its way out.
  3. And 2/3 10mm nuts holding motor in
  4. Jazz blue lupo, smoothed rear, pop outs, stubby mirrors lowered on black dished wheels ( no idea what they were ) any ideas who it was?
  5. Will need to withstand some corrosion so maybes source a aftermarket part, this looks like it would do the job, specified for diesels but it looks the rite shape http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=140931794703&cmd=VIDESC
  6. An EGR (engine gas recirculation) valve is simply there to reduce the emission a slight bit by re-feeding the exhaust gasses into the engine; it won't affect your emissions so much that it fails an MOT, being a 1.0. As for the wiring, it will more than likely show a fault code via displaying the EML on your dash, the engine will still run and a bit smoother if anything due to using a constant streem of clean fuel rather than a mix of used / unused vapour. Elegidly you can see throttle response improvement; but using a blanking plate for the egr port can raise the temperature of the head which in turn if your headgasket isnt up to the job will result in part failure. Hope this helps
  7. cheers man, will hopefully get around to having a look at the weekend
  8. Anyone? any advice would be greatly appreciated
  9. Smart.. get that lupo licking the floor.. would love a black loop but not so much with keeping it clean
  10. had this plugged into vagcom a month or soo ago following this and the car wouldnt recognise the key; the lad said it might be the com fort module??.. another point is that the auto-lock & unlock was turned on but only the auto-lock worked, could this be related as i know the module controls windows and locking. also if i was to need a new CCM what do i need to be looking for? certain amount of pins in the plug? or does it have to be a dealer part? thanks
  11. notorious for blowing steering pumps with city steering and headgasket at 60000 miles.. but still sounds a decent commuter
  12. True ... Still, the novelty of 95 mpg
  13. Still not a bad buy if it goes cheap (inc auction costs)
  14. Found this on Copart; imagine afew poeple could be interested. http://www.copart.co.uk/c2/homeSearch.html?_eventId=getLot&execution=e1s1&lotId=14393233&returnPage=SEARCH_RESULTS
  15. I'm no expert on this but I'm sure the crack that people were fussing over before was that a standard car system doesn't have the capability to charge the cap effectively. So instead of the cap dumping during the lack of power in the wave, it is still charging so causes a delayed output of energy when required often draining more power resulting in a bigger loss of current in the system I.e. the lights dimming becomes a lot more noticable

    nightmare

    good luck with the vauxhall lol
  17. should be a lot better than that.. think the lowest i've seen on mine was about 270 from a tank and that was thrashing it or 310 / 20 atm with just normal driving... unless you do a lot of motoway miles above 70mph?
  18. i wouldnt have bothered asking around and just baught them of lupoboz but; he isnt trading anymore is he? or temporarely at least.
  19. 30mpg on a 1.0?? shouldnt be getting anywhere near as low as that... try cleaning the throttle body (20 mins work) and then the egr should see a decent improvements
  20. anyone know wether the hinges come in a specified colour code or just primer; and anyone got an up to date price for a set of hinges?
  21. yes as you are unplugging the valve from the system so it will register a fault with the readings; tbf it just not worth doing on a 1.0. Just give it a clean out and if you're seeing less thn 45 / 50 mpg depending on your driving so tbf that decent mpg
