  1. woop woop, Yeah the 409.1 install works fine after doing a little bit of adHoc scripting to stop it from recognising the cables licence Not had time to fully "tune" the best RPM but I jsut dropped the value of "32768" down to "32708" then clicked "test" which gave me an idle speed of 880rpm ish Reset it back to default and Will have more of a play when I get chance, might see if I can do anti hijack whilst i'm at it! Much thanks in advance and I will let you know how it goes further, this brief guide should definitely get stickied !
  2. I've got a no-brand ebay cable, its got 409.1 which can scan fine & has successfully done a ThrottleBody adjustment using the following guide (http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/cars/throttlebody.html) but I guess that altering actual numerical values would require VCDS-Lite? I live in Salford so not too far, but a bit of a basic walkthrough would be great if you could. I'm sure the polo SDI engine I have will have its idle value at different blocks than the lupo SDI engine so I'll have to do some digging / research first. Much thanks
  3. Might be interested in this myself, again I know its for a polo 1.9sdi engine not a 1.7 but im sure its a similar method might help. Are you using a full Rosstech vag com or the lite version ?
  4. Having recently searched for a guide on changing the fuel filter on a 1.0MPI Lupo and not finding one I thought I would throw together this little guide based on one I found for a polo. Apologies if there is one out there and I've missed it Its not the hardest of tasks but sometimes its useful to have a few pictures and steps. - First step is to either jack the rear of the car up and support it on axle stands or roll the rear wheels onto a set of ramps / sturdy wood blocks. Though not 100% necessary even another couple of inches clearance will make this task a lot easier. - Unplug the fuel pump, This can either be done by removing the fuse in the fuse box, or unplugging it from under the rear seats. - Next run start the car up and run it until it stalls, removing as much fuel as possible from the fuel lines. - finally loosen the fuel filler cap to release excess pressure - Look under the back of the car just next to the read drivers side wheel (UK), you will see this little beast clipped into its bracket. - Give the screw a heavy coating of WD40 and go and make a brew whilst it soaks in - Unfortunately for me the screw head was well beyond functioning so I had to dremmel a new slot into it. (Remember to have a suitable fire extinguisher on hand when doing any cutting near fuel lines) - A good tip when dealing with dodgy / corroded screws is to use a rubber band in between the screw head and screw driver - http://lifehacker.com/5462520/remove-a-stripped-screw-with-a-rubber-band#c18998275 - Now the fuel filter is free you should be able to drop it down out of its bracket - Press in the small button on the fuel line clip and pull the fuel lines off the filter. Expect a bit of fuel remaining in the filter to flow out when undoing the lines. Not entirely sure what the white clips that came with the filter are, couldn't see a part like them in my fuel line fittings... possibly for a variant model or Seat. New screw and washer, ideally would have liked a hex head / allen head bolt but this will have to. - Finally ensuring the arrows on the filter are pointing in the correct direction (Forward in my case) push both of the fuel line clips back onto filter. you should feel a good click when correctly installed. - Pop the filter back into its bracket and tighten up the screw, I also applied a good coat of vaseline to the screw head to make it easier to replace in later years when I forget i'm not driving my diesel polo and fill it up with derv. - Plug the fuel pump back in, replace the cover, and tighten up the fuel filler cap, and give it a crank over, it should fire up after 2 or 3 attempts! Disclaimer: This guide is not an official guide, and though a fairly easy task if you are not sure about anything make sure you ask for help.
  5. Not that i'm planning on lowering the girlfriends lupo whilst shes unaware ... But recently when replacing the fuel filter I was having a look around and found a box which later turned out to be a proportional brake regulating valve on the rear axle. If I was to lower the Lupo surely I would have to remove this valve or reclaibrate it? has anyone had any experience with this ? Any info would be enlightening.
  6. Know its a different engine but I've got a polo 1.9 SDI and it is insanely loud on idle, always has been since I bought it over 40k miles ago. SDI engines just keep chugging away getting noisier and noisier as they clock up miles
  7. looks like ArosaSDI nailed it, quick google for CD player illumination cable came up with this - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Volkswagen-CD-Player-Stereo-illumination-lead-cable-/331282574740?pt=UK_In_Car_Technology&hash=item4d21faed94 Above link has the right 2 pin connector on that I have. All works fine without it, was just inquisitive as to wether it was the speed to volume wire. Cheers
  8. Hi all, sorry to be one of those "first post is a question" types but any input would be appreciated. Having recently bought a 1l Lupo E (1999) I've just fitted a new stereo and behind the Din slots there was another connector not plugged into anything that looks like it comes from the same loom as the hazard lights switch (just below the din slots). It is separate from the ISO blocks but is a plastic connector with 2 pins, the wires leading up to the connector are brown and blue/grey. I'll try and get a picture tomorrow but does anyone have any idea what it could be ? Cheers, Tomm
