  1. so does all low lupos have this problem?
  2. For last few weeks ive had a knockin noise coming from my car when going over big bumps or breaking or accelerating hard. I had a check and noticed the anti roll bar was hitting the chassis as it was above the wishbone. i swapped it round so it went under the wishbone and now its rubbing on wishbone and catches the wheel on full lock. Can anyone show me how there anti roll bar sits please
  3. Spray painting carpet and headlining anyone done it if so what paint they use and how was the outcome?
  4. Decided to build my first box with the help of my brother. its unfinished at the moment not sure what to trim it with. The box is 2.9 cubic feet ported with two kenwood 10" i had sitting around.
  5. Problem not solved. So I've changed the battery, starter motor and wire that connects them and still don't start. I've tested them all and there's 12.8v goin to the starter motor and when I try starting the voltage stays the same and it clicks about 6 times then goes dead. I've had it started twice in last couple weeks once after I wiggled the starter motor and second time when I put jump lead from battery to starter motor. I've really ran out of ideas why it won't start. Only thing I can think of is eurocarparts sold me a dodgy starter motor.
  6. After forgetting to clean them and grease them up in winter my ta technics have started to rust and seized up. I got a stiff brush out and scrapped all the surface rust and flaking paint off then been spraying them with WD40 for last few days they have all loosen up enough to adjust with C spanner except one which won't budge. Does anyone have any ideas what other stuff will help losen it and what grease to use on them to stop this happening again.
  7. I've got new driver side door hinges to change as my door has dropped. I bought a torx set to change them but the T50 is too small and T55 is too big. I've asked in some shops about a size between and was told one don't exist. I remember Reading a while back about a tool which can help change the hinges anyone know what it's called?
  8. Problem solved! Used multimeter in starter motor and was fine had 12v goin in it but when tried starting it went to 2v. So I took the wire out and used a jump lead from battery to starter motor and started fine. So foned up vw for new wire they said they don't sell the wire individual you have to buy it as part of a loom which is £140+VAT. Then rung a few breakers and found one for a tenner.
  9. The battery is only a month old but just incase it wasn't powerful enough I tried using the battery from my dads BMW 850 and didn't make a difference. Only seemed to found one main earth point aswel and that was fine. Think I'm gona have to buy a voltmeter and check the power going to the starter motor then.
  10. Yep bought it from eurocarparts for £88. It clicks for about 5 seconds then goes dead could that mean maybe not enough power going to it?
  11. I had a fiddle about with the starter motor making sure i put it in right and its all connected proply and now when i try to start it makes clicking noise and clicks for about 5 seconds then goes dead. After trying to start it about 10 times it eventully started so i turned it off started it again to make sure it worked and it did so took it for 5 mile drive then went i got back turned it off and tried starting it and once again didnt start and only made clicking noise. ive tried to start it for last two days and still nothing i even charged the battery overnite to make sure it had plenty of power. How can i check if the ignition switch has gone? if the ignition switch has gone then surely the starter motor wouldnt be clicking?
  12. The problem started couple weeks ago when i tried to start the car it sounded like it was struggling to start, this went on for a week until it eventully didnt start at all. The car had bin serviced about 1000 miles before hand and had new battery aswel so i asumed it was started motor so i went to eurocarparts got new one and fitted it but still same problem. When i turn key all lights come on like normal but when i try to make it turn over all the lights go out and dont even turn over. The car dont even jump start so the only way i can get it moving is by bump startin it. Im no mechanic and the only thing i can think that it can be is a loose earth connection or something. Does anyone have anyother ideas what it might be?
  13. I've had airbag light on for weeks and the engine management light come on the other day so I took it to a garage and paid £30 to get it diagnosed and it came up oxygen sensor (lambda) does this mean I need a new sensor if so what one as on eurocarparts there's 3 different ones. For the airbag light after he turned it off it came bak on straight after and said something about drivers side connection so how I would go about fixing that?
  14. Can anyone link me to the vagcom thread I've bin searching and can't find it. £61 is bit steep to turn one light off. Anyone know how much it is to buy vagcom it mite be a wise investment?
  15. I've just had this problem it's been on for week now and getting annoying. If I go to vw do they charge to reset it because I herd they charge £40 or something to use Vagcom.
  16. Does anybody know if an alternator from a tdi will fit in a sport?
