Thanks for your help CJ and Rich!

Awesome at least I know that now So it could be that the oil from the breather is leaking down through the hole on the throttle body? I cant tell if its a loose fit but everything standard so i guess it fits how it should Also the 2nd spark is pictured spark 4 is no where near as oily but has blown at the same time, I've just been to a local store for some new plugs and they said it could be a leaky piston ring? New plugs are in and its running better now, I've also noticed a brown sludge in my coolant now some forums have said it could be head gasket or gasket seal, so maybe they're all linked? Leaking piston ring/gasket seal causing brown sludge and spark plugs to be shot after 4 months, what do you think? Also where can I find my MAP sensor? :)

Thanks for your reply here are some pics, Perhaps I'm being a bit harsh on the carb (if it is one) it fine inside its just oily on the outside, but the airbox is quite oily, im not sure if that's normal or? I cleaned it all immaculately 4 months ago. and the spark is oily on the thread side that's inside the engine as you can see from the pic I should probably mentions I have these codes also: 17545/P1137/004407 - Fuel Trim: Bank 1 (Add): System too Rich 17536/P1128/004392 - Fuel Trim; Bank 1 (Mult): System too Lean 16684/P0300/000768 - Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected 16686/P0302/000770 - Cylinder 2 Misfire Detected 16492/P0108 - Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) (G71) or Barometric Pressure (BARO) (F96): Signal High

So I've had my lupo going on 7 years now and it has served me well, it hit 100000k miles the other week and felt really good for it, until today.... I have a short list of problems it would be great if someone who knows their S**T could help me sort them out so I can keep my beloved LUPO going 1. Two of my spark plugs have gone today on cylinders 2 and 4 the internal parts are oily and completely shot, however sparks 1 and 3 are perfectly fine. IS there some sort of link between these cylinders and a faulty part or engine issue? I'm trying to figure out what is causing those two to go before the others (I changed all 4 plugs around 3 months ago) 2. I cleaned my Carb 4 months ago also, its still quite clean on the inside, but on the outside there is a lot of oil/fuel this then goes into my top box (where the air filters sit) is this maybe linked the the above problem what causes this?? 3. When I turn the ignition on i get quite a loud high pitched constant beep (it seems to be coming from underneath my Carb) this rings for around 30 seconds then stops and happens everytime I turn th ignition on?? this one is really bugging me... Thanks guys any help would be appreciated

Cheers! Really need to get it lowered!

Top man! cheers

Hi could someone lower this for me, really considering doing it! http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/8335/24012012175.th.jpg Cheers

Hi all, This is my lupo had it for about 7-8 months now, Its a 1.0 E with about 65k milage! keeping the mods cheap! So far I've: Painted steelies with Vw centre caps De badged parts De wipered Audi tt Knee rests Added Vw mudflaps Wind deflectors removed side strips Aero wipers Fin aerial Plans for future are to get it lowered! and get some Cambridge lights!

Erm not too much mate, Keeping it nice and cheap like you aha!

Looks like a nice Lupo, Should see you around Halesowen sometime, I live there too, I have a taff green Lupo, black steelies

Any mudflaps mate?

Rear mudflaps?

Cheers, I'll have a go today!

Hi guys just a quick one, Is it possible to remove the orange indicator tint on stock lupo lights? I've had a look and it seems pretty hard to get into too, but I've heard of people saying they've done it. Cheers

I had my seal done today free from the garage that did clutch a few months back, if youve had work done recently the seal can be damaged when the shafts are put back in

Any rear mudgaurds?

Hi all, Noticed recently my lupo's driver side shaft is leaking a the joint to the gearbox. From what I've research on the internet I think the seal may need changing to solve the problem. Can anyone tell me if I'm correct and how much money I'm talking as from what I've found the seals aren't too expensive! Cheers

Thanks!

It is to do with emmisions, however if your car is was made before 2001 the tax is the same on all vechiles. If it was made after 2001 it depends on emmisions etc. it sucksssssss

Hi everyone, I have a W reg 1.0 lupo E with a small gearbox leak, as I've only had the car a few months I think it will be worthwhile to check the gearbox oil level. So I'm looking for some bright spark to tell me if its sealed for life or not? and if not how the bloody hell do I get to it! Thanks in advance all.

Hi all, I'm looking to get new pads and disk for my lupo 1.0, Just wondering where to get the parts from? Also is it worth getting non standard parts? but i don't fancy having to mod anything to fit. Cheers guys

Hi all, Looking to run my standard lupo wheels without hub caps ( cant get alloys due to insurance) I was wondering if center caps are actually what I need. Do they plug into the centre of the wheel or are they for hub caps or special alloys,and more importunity will they fit into mine? Also looking to give them a nice gloss black paint job, any recommendation to paint and where to get it? Sorry I'm a newbie! cheers

Hi, Can anyone fill me in the the sort of noise the bearing make when there on their way out? I have a sort of ticking chugging noise that disappears when I take the car out of gear, Any ideas guys?

My pedal box went today in possibly the worst circumstance ever. A trip to the safari park caused me to get stuck in neutral unable to get the car into gear in the cheetah enclosure! Luckily however there was another separating fence. All in all it caused a lot of embarrassment and stress. A £45 bill just to tow the car back, and I broken tow bar courtesy of the safari park staff. A disastrous day!
