Thanks for all that info guys, I'm going to try all your suggestions this morning coz its actually stopped raining now - Updates later!
-
The volume of water is huge too - have to use a mop to soak it up. 2 buckets full last time!!
-
No I don't think so, I've heard it pour out from behind the dash under the shelf on the left side. Also on tight cornering it has poured out onto my feet as I am driving - but it's mostly on passenger side tho.
-
Oh thanks - what is that and can it be mended?
-
No sun roof - just indoor water feature sadly. Just don't know where to start with this leak

Lupo spring a leak somewhere so when it rains water pours into passenger footwell from somewhere behind the dash. I can hear it swishing about on there going round corners or if I put the fan on it makes a sputtering noise. Has anyone any idea how to solve me problem or shall I just embrace the on board foot spa facility!!

polo manual is essentially the same.
Vagcom will tell you if the sensor is dead, if it doesn't there's more chance of it being the pump
sorted! new sensor, engine flush n fresh oil seems to have done the job. drove 20 or so miles in it yesterday with no probs.
cheers guys

will a vagcom tell me if oil pressure is correct,?and if its getting to top end? sorry to sound like a thicko but really am new to workin on modern vehicles
could do with a haynes manual for lupo but dont think they ever produced one. the sensor seems a good place to start before oil pump but where is it located in engine? a few people have told me that the pickup pipe and strainer in the sump are prone to getting clogged up but had sump off and they seem fine. also changed oil and filter so far but no joy. thanks to all replies steep learning curve for me

its not to hard dude but id suggest stripping the front end off if you need any help just bob along to the next bugnuts i will probably be there
cheers but im no longer a bugnut im now splinta ste one man vw club

im new to the world of lupos having allways owned aircooled vws, and im having trouble with oil warning light. thinking of changing oil pump next and if that doesnt cure it maybe change engine. i have changed many aircooled engines in the past with no probs but they involve a couple of cables a few bolts and and a hose or two, very basic. wouldnt know where to start with watercooled as theres lots more to consider. is this a job for a novice ? or is it crazy garage prices?
-
Oil pump could be fubard
any simple ways of testing oil pump?
any help greatly appreciated
-
Its telling you its got low pressure, does it sound any different to normal? The sensor may have broken
hard to say if it sounds different as ive caught exhaust on a speedramp causing it to blow not had time to fix yet, maybe this could be part of the problem? clueless on watercooled cars only ever tinkered with aircooled.

for some reason my oil light comes on after i have driven about 5 miles or so, ive checked oil level and its fine, it doesnt leek or burn oil and i have changed oil filter thinking it may be blocked but to no avail
anybody any ideas as to what to check next?
cheers ste

Well my scuttles now leafy sludge free, blimey there was a lot of water that flowed out but this time it all went on the floor not my carpet?
I've mopped out most of the water whilst the heater was on full blast and its now parked up in the 'nice warm sun' !!
I've got a good feeling this is now fixed so thanks for your interest and ideas guys
