  1. you dont, well i dont think you do it just does it! i removed my rear beam and replaced the bushes cleaned the mounts, fitted new rear suspension change the rear top mounts! as well as replaced the exhaust mounts and snow foam and cleaned all of the underside! and waxoil'd everything! and it still squeaks to me it sounds more like a clonking sound along with a squeak
  2. oh i have replaced my ARB bushes already and ordered a new engine steady from a local motorfactors
  3. i done mine myself for £15 one can of spray and one tin of lacquer! mines the green one (sold it now)
  4. i have had the usual hanging trees which last a few weeks but not ages and dont have the best smells, I then moved onto california scents, again didnt last very long and some times where very over powering, I have now bought a chemical guys spray air freshener use a couple of sprays once a week, had it for over two months now and bottle has hardly gone down! Btw i have the stripper scent and i get plenty of compliments about it and even me misses likes it
  5. 1. Open bonnet, 2. Located and remove breather pipe coming from airbox 3. Disconnect sensor plug which is in line the breather pipes and also remove the pipes plastic bracket 4. At this point i found it to be easier to just pull the pipe whilst leavering the base of the pipe with a screw driver (remove pipe in full from the canister itself) 5. There are 3 allen key headed bolts holding the oil canister to the block. I removed the lowest one and the passenger one from above with the air box in position but had to get underneath for the other one 6. With all three removed i twisted the canister which released it from the block and took it out from undereath 7. With all removed i clean the valve and pipes out with white spirit, as it dry quick and leaves no residue 8. The oil canister its self i decided to dry it out with a hair dryer blowing through the larger opening. I found this made the crap dry out and fall away easily! There was still alot left over so i ran throttle body cleaner through it followed by white spirit left it to soak and ran the white spirit through untill it was running clear. 11. Refit all after it is full dried out! I do not take any responsibility for any thing you chose to do or break! Or even that you over cooked your dinner yesterday
  6. i replaced the whole light unit, gasket and connector and used a special sealent i wouldnt think water will get back in at all
  7. what makes you think that?
  8. fixed with a bit of WD40 and a new connector EPC light came on due to not having a rear spoiler light!
  9. cleaned the whole breather system which was extremely dirty and the engine feels 100x better to drive!
  10. Turned out to be the brake sensor switch fixed the problem straight away,
  11. ECU is standard it was the PCV valve causing the problems! cleaned it out and now all fualts have gone!
  12.

  14. does anyone know if the gearbox mount from a polo is the same as a lupo? how much should the lupo gti gearbox mount cost? or can you buy the bushes on there own?
  15. underneath my engine in the center i noticed that the bushs are on there way out, would this bush fit? and where can i get the other bush? if it doesnt fit does anyone have a link to one that will lupo gti 1.6 http://www.psituning.com/product.php/20967/powerflex_pack___pff85_620___lower_engine_mount_large_bush___polo_9n_02_08__ibiza_02__fab_07_
  16. ok i will check the voltage regulator when i find it as well as check connections of everything, 17743/P1335 - Engine Torque Monitor 2: Control Limit Exceeded is making me think it could be down to me driving without an air filter for the past two days as well as having a tiny amount of fuel in my tank which is 84 octane mixed with injector cleaner and octane booster. but is there anyway of testing the sensors listed?
  17. oh ok brilliant thank you, the fault has only come up the once so will see if i can fix it, what about the alternator fault?
  18. 2 Faults Found: 17911 - Load Signal from Alternator Term. DF: Implausible Signal P1503 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent 17743 - Shareware Version. To Decode all DTCs P1335 - 35-10 -Please Register/Activate - Intermittent these are the only faults that come up when i do a scan of everything using VCDS LITE, my lupo gti keeps going into EPC / LIMP mode and doesnt rev beyond a certain point and once i have pulled over and turned the ignition off and on again its fine! i have replaced the leads and coilpack, fitted a new rear brake light and given the engine a full service. my engine does pink at certain points during driving and it has done this since i bought it, also when i bought the car they guy said a new alternator had been fitted which it had been as it looks brand new!
  19. i would leave it like that it looks brilliant!
