HI GUYS. im looking for a build thread... it was a red lupo gti. static. seriously low. and at one point had vinyl on the front wing? anyone help me out? cheers

done that.. still nothing... it stoped today for about 40 miles, soon as i go over a bigg bump, it starts again... some thing is being disloged! but its ALL tight...

well thats the problem, its not a constant noise, only when going down hill now... and its just gen be a pain in the arse! i just fancy giving it a garage and sayong dont give it back till its fixed! fed up of it now! as the polo's are horedous for Gearboxes im just gna presume for the worst!

all 5 gears mate... input shaft?

its npt had standard wheels on it, had th mono's on it befor.. but these wheels have been on for a week now... so dont think its the wheels. jacked it up, nothing seems to be broken, gearbox mount is intact... cv joints are silent.... im thinking its possible gearbox faliure mayb? as when i put clutch in... it stops. thanks

i took mine of, you will hit your subframe, exhaust mount befor the sump

click that pic, and will take you to video... excuse my face hahaha give it 10 seconds and listen for the clicking

got a video, how can i put this on here? cheers

which CV joint you reckon? the inner or outer? or best just to replace driveshaft? when i put the clutch in, its is obvisoly taking the strain of something, of which causing it to stop. il have to get it jacked up and have a proper look today. and haha Rich that would be funny, i doubt some one could get under it to tie one on! lol

i will have to get one tommorrow, if you were sat in the car... and i went up a hill... all u here is click click click click click click if that helps

hey guys! sorry to hack the Club Lupo page with Polo issues, just need as much help as possible thanks. more trouble with my Polo. changed the wheels on the car, and took the camber off so its running straight and proper now. seem to have a loud loud clicking/knocking noise coming from drivers side wheel/driveshaft/cvjoint? if i drive on the flat, or down a hill it doesnt do it, and if i put my clutch in it doesnt do it. but if i drive up a hill or on a uneven surface it clicks/knocks. i see that this could be a drive shaft problem, but i dont understand how putting the clutch it stops the noise, i hope this is not a gearbox problem. any help or advise would be much appreciated as need to get it running proper thanks in advance

il look... and no, changed HT leads.... and tried ones working of my mates lupo... so ...

it just said Cylinder 1 missfire. there were no other errors. swaped spark plug with one we KNOW is working... still no joy. swaped injector... still nothing wouldnt be MAP sensor would it? or coolant sensor?

yeah, it read codes like p1160 or somthing... but i just took the details down...

Right people... ran the car with VAG COM... it came up with ONE error. that was missfire in cylinder 1. i have checked the spark plug, it HAS a spark. it is getting FUEL.... it HAS compression and it IS still in time. have checked all the timng belts and pulleys. it has EVERYTHING it needs but it isnt firing... i am now beyond confused... any help?

all my mate has done is put the engine in, thats it... that wouldnt cause a fault with the engine... plus its not really a 'mates job' it went to benze and was done properly so... untill i get the readings from vag com... i dont know...

im running camber to get the to fit... as there just normal tyres... when have the BBS on with stretch it can go lower...

i know blaine

im running mine like that atm... and no rubbing at all..

how big are your wheels? + how big are your tyres? and how low you trying to go

will be going back on VAG COM at about 5 30... so il see what it reads then. it read Cylinder 2 misfire, Random cylinder missfire and something to do with manifold pressure... il see what it reads later...not took it back yet, i had the engine rebuilt at MANX in derby... but then the engine put back in lupo by my mechanic mate ....

yeah so was i Defcon5. Coilpack changed, leads changed, spark plugs changed and EGR valve changed.... and still no joy... even more lumpy.... and now have EPC and a CONSTANT CHECK light on... this a job for autoelctician?

hi guys. i have recently got my lupo sport back from an engine rebuild... all internals are new, but accessories are still the same, ie coilpack, manifold, inlet, egr valve... had the car back and running fine for a week, haven't been over 3k yet, done aprox 250 miles so far. last night was in 5th gear, had foot down to accelerate and suddenly no power at all, and was running really lumpy and rough, i pulled over and turned the car off. when i then turned the car over, it was still running really lumpy... and i had EPC light... and a flashing CHECK light. i turned the car of, left it for 5 mins, turned it on and it ran fine but with a constant CHECK light. i went home straight away... went to check it this morning, and now it seems to be running even worse, as if its missfiring... the EPC light and Check light are both on. any idea what to do? it has new spark plugs... i know that coilpacks, ht leads and EGR valve could be a possibility... but just want some opinions before i buy all 3.. and then find out its nothing to do with it. any help is greatly appreciated! thanks.

i live in the east midlands... if that helps... and its parked on a drive at night if that makes a difference? and i dont know about the like for like... doesnt say anything like that on my policy paper.. i will look into it and yeah im very happy with it, better than 2600 i payed last year!

im 20 years old, have 1 year NCB and have 1 claim fro 2010. i have a lupo sport with. Coilovers Non-standard Alloys. Exhaust System Manifold Steering wheel BMC Induction kit. ALL DECLARED, and my Annual Premium is £956.00 with 500 voluntary excess. also includes personal injury, windscreen cover, hire car and legal help. thought i would share this as that is a good price, i had cheaper offers from Ecar, and admiral but i didnt get any of the extra's with it. hope this helps some people out! as insurance is a pain! BTW I SORTED MINE VIA A PHONECALL... NON OF THIS COMPARISON WEBSITE.!
