  2. Well they've just called saying it's a coolant temperature sensor problem, £135 all in to replace it! Apparently if the sensor fails, the engine thinks it's cold, so floods the engine by over-fuelling. Obviously when it's warm, that causes the engine to not fire properly. Hopefully a useful search item should anyone else experience something similar in the future
  3. Why would that only exhibit a problem when starting from warm? If it was fuel supply or spark, cold starting would also be an issue surely? It's worth noting there is a definite fuel smell when attempting to start from warm and failing, suggesting the engine is in fact flooding; hence I'd doubt it was a fuel supply issue.
  4. Hey guys, Wonder if i can pick your Lupo brains!! Recently my little Lupo has been playing up and sometimes doesnt start after being used i.e. popping into Tesco's briefly then coming back out... The engine turns just doesnt fire.. The weird thing is it starts first time when the engine is cold... It had it's 40k service back in Jan and has it's MOT on saturday... 2001 Sport... If anyone can give me any advice that'd be fab Snowball...

  11. i phoned a few VW dealers this afternoon and they all quoted different prices. I went for the cheapest and closest and had mine done this afternoon... £310 inc VAT, parts & labour... + £63 brake fluid style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":coffee:" border="0" alt="coffee.gif" /> Martins of Camberley, VW Dealer. They were very good and professional. For anyone interested!!
  12. What's the best price anyone has had for a 40k service? Also if anyone knows of a good place to get it done around the farnborough/camberley area, that'd be much appreciated!
  13. Hiya peeps... Just a quick question: Is it possible to just top up the oil in the engine, even if the oil is different? Are there any major drawbacks to doing this? My oil is dangerously low, and no garage near me could do it today, so was thinking of just topping it up till it has it's service (in 2000 miles time). Thanks in advance style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
