Slight amendment to the original post..... CL works the same on both sides, in that it will open the door and the boot, but not the other door. Any clues (other than the above YouTube link)?

Much obliged

Tdi sport. CL via the drivers door opens that door and the boot, but has no effect on the passenger door. CL via the passenger door operates both doors and the boot. Any suggestions on the issue, and an idiots guide on how to remedy? Also, ball park figure for a replacement clutch on said vehicle? TIA

* thread resurrection * So, picked up a very tidy little tdi at the weekend. What a great little motor! My daughter has a SDi, son now has a tdi, we’ve already been through a 1.0 and a 1.4 (open air), so we (I!) just need a gti for the full set

Hmmmmm Rich, you’re starting to not sell the idea to me

Seems that it’s just bushes / syncro’s on the box then, and a well serviced engine is good as gold cheers folks

Cheers Rich, appreciate that

Hi there! We have previously had a 1.0 and a 1.4 openair, and currently own a SDi, but looking to enter the world of TDi. In addition to the usual Lupo ‘things to look for’, is there anything specific to look for on a TDi? TIA

Cheers mukka

Time to hijack and resurrect a thread..... My SDi has just started to flash it's glow/EML. I've put an obd reader on and it comes back with no faults. It resets the light, then after about 30 miles it's back on again. There is no issue with it starting (instant on first key turn) or with its performance. Any thoughts?

You make all this sound so easy Skezza ?

Yup, high level stays on when side/headlights are on. Brake lights work fine otherwise

So, the SDi I've recently bought has a brake light issue.... Brake lights work fine under daylight. However, when the head/side lights are switched on, the brake lights stay on too. Before I take it to an auto electricians and pay through the nose, anyone have any ideas that a simpleton could follow?? Should prob mention that the previous keeper has fitted a set of LED running lights too...

I literally have no idea what that means ?

...and when she wants to move on to something newer in a few years, I'll prob keep it for myself !

My son has had a 1.0 for the last 2 1/2yrs. Fun little car that's been a great 1st car. I had a 1.4 open air for a while, a bit more pokey, but no speed demon. The SDi seems quick enough, especially as it's a first car for my daughter. Not the most refined engine in the world, but simple and reliable works for me. Only £30 to tax the thing too, which coupled with what I hope to be uber frugal, works for me ?

It looks a bit unloved at the moment, I think it's a diamond in the rough. My daughter loves it anyway, so that's enough for me?

Thanks for that.... I've taken a gamble on it anyway. The belts and water pump were changed this year, there's a fair bit of history with it, and it's only done 85k so prob only just broken in, and there's no trace of a leak around the bottom end or 'box. Will post pics when I've picked it up ?

Hi all! We currently have a 1.0 lupo and are considering an SDi to join the fleet. Are there any common issues with the SDi that I should be looking for? I'm aware of the common rust places, pedal box, door straps, heater resistor etc, but just wondering if there's anything specific to this model. I have limited mechanical knowledge, so please be gentle ?

A friend is after some gti badges. Are they available???

Some pics....hopefully!! http://s675.photobucket.com/user/pablojonesmr2/library/lupo

I haven't tried anything as yet - My auto electrical expertise extends to being able to change a bulb!

Anyone in the Telford area that can diagnose and fix a non-working electric window for beer money???

Would've been my first choice, but not for under a grand! I used to have mk2 MR2's, so I do miss the performance, but I'm kinda enjoying the 'low n slow' thing that the loop provides ?

I have some pics, do I need photo bucket to upload them?
