Piston rings is a notorious 1.4 16v problem
The diesels are pretty much bomb proof
Could be worn cam / tappets but id doubt it, more likely oil getting past the turbo... Oily exhaust??
-
Saying that my mate bought a 51 plate 5 speed 110k for 2200 non crashed
So 2k seems a mile off
-
Holy sheesh...
Not much going for it really... You might aswell keep it
£1500?
-
Hmm
Oil consumption may be turbo related

Ap suspension
-40mm

Piston rings!
1.4 16v?
-
Ive read a few horror stories over on briskoda on the 1.4 16v far more likely to suffer piston ring failure if used on 95ron
Vpower all the way

I tried cleaning threads, plus gas, C spanners, flat head driver and hammer, huge vice and 2 foot long stiltsons!!!- given up trying now!!! Good luck!
Wow tough luck
-
Stuff the screwdriver / hammer combo
Clean threads with carb cleaner then go crazy with wd40
Then a big set of stillsons
-
Keep the vxr...
For 4mpg is it really worth it
My lupo has got 37mpg over 10k miles

Lol at the better response
If anything will be slower, drawing in hot dirty air... Hmm
-
Aye its in gates tyres fortnightly getting new tires

That jdm dyno is the fastest corsa b in the uk i believe
550bhp
Seen it in person
-
Stuff samco and sfs
Can get them
On ebay twice as cheap!!
-
Does a lupo have a boot anyways?
-
Uhoh my bad just the thread title is a bit confusing on an iphone
To me it reads colour concept gti.... So i thought it would be jazz blue
Some 1st owners go crazy
My golf mk4 tdi had heated recaro leather at a £2200 cost option
Thats just bananas
-
Haha busted!!
Op owns a moon / replex gti and has bought some colour concept seats
-
A family friend just got his 4.2 a6 done, total cost was £1700
But actually works out cheaper to run than my lupo gti now
-
More likely the stat
Housing would be more if you were losing coolant
-
My brother used to work in the garage mentioned, they have had various issue of gunk in the tanks, last year it put 10 of our work vans off the road through fuel contamination
There is nothing wrong with my engine thank you very much
The other half has been told
-
Yup that would be me... Running on 3 cylinders haha!!
All sorted now though
-
Seems you can get the stat for a shade over a tenner or the whole shooting match for £30
When i did mine i used the original housing
(patent part)
From vw considerably more around £30 for stat alone iirc
