  1. It was a stock pic. Used them but didn't fix the problem.
  2. There is no king lead. So I tried the coil, it is a used genuine vw coil, it made a huge difference for about 10 - 15 mins then back to the same problem. Maybe a little better. Really confusing me now, guess I will get hold of some of the correct leads and see if that helps.
  3. Here's the story... I suspected a knackered coil, ignition leads or spark plugs on my Lupo 1.4 sport (100bhp). Changed the plugs and problem was still there. Then I spotted a coil going really cheap on Ebay (£0.99) it was from a Polo but had she same part number so I bought it. It just arrived today and to my suprise he has sent the ignition leads with it too. So what I wanted to know was, can I use the ignition leads from the Polo on my Lupo as it would help me rule my current ones out as a problem without spending any extra cash. I don't want to keep them on there, I just want to try them to see if they fix the problem and if they do I will invest in a new set of Lupo leads. Here is an image of the Polo leads:
  4. I have a 1999 / 2000 year lupo 1.4 sport here its the 100 bhp AFK engine with cable throttle. It needs a new throttle body I think. The part number of the current throttle body on the car is 036133064E. My question is: Are there any other throttle bodies I can use? as I can't find a cheap one with that part number. Also if there is anyone who has one I could try to make sure it is the throttle body that would be awesome, or if you've got one for sale etc, let me know. Thanks, Daryl Based in Taunton, Somerset.
  5. Lupo 1.4 Sport - ignition lead order Whats the correct lead order? I have A B C D on my coil, just want to double check my problem is not down to the leads being ordered wrong.
  6. How many lambda sensors should there be on a 1.4 sport? Bought a car that has obviously been DIY De-Catted at some time and had some "custom" exhaust work done. I thought there would be two lambda sensors, one on the manifold and one after the CAT, but I can't find a second one. Can someone confirm how many there should be and where they should be so I can sort it out.
  7. My 2000 Lupo 1.4 sport has no egr? Is that normal or has someone removed it? AFH engine, Cable Throttle
  8. The Problem My brother in Law just got a Lupo 1.4 Sport 16v, AFH engine, Cable throttle. The revs keep dropping on it. Try and hold it at a constant RPM and it will be fine for 4 or 5 seconds then the revs will drop. Sometimes they drop lower than other times. Sometimes they come back up to where they were, sometimes they don't and it goes to idle level. Relavent History Aparently the guy who sold the car said it had had a new Throttle Body fitted at some point. What I have tried First Attempt Straight away I noticed quite a bit of oil in the air filter, coming in from the crank breather pipe. So I thought that might be the problem. Cleaned out the breather pipe as it was blocked with thick mayo, then cleaned out the crank breather filter/seperator box as that was blocked too. Then I noticed oil leaking from the underside of the intake manifold, so I opened that up and cleaned it all out and re-sealed with some high temp silicone gasket. While it was apart I noticed that the sensor on the left side of the Intake manifold (opposite side to the Throttle body) was covered in oil, so I sprayed a bit of electrical contact cleaner on it. I also cleaned out the inside of the Throttle body, just the butterfly area, I did not open up the black cover. So I put it back together and the problem was still there. Second Attempt I have mechanic friend who has just got an expensive new Snap-On fault scanner so I borrowed that and pulled the codes. But neither of us really know how to use it other than to pull engine codes and turn off engine/service lights. It came back with: 00519 Intake Manifold Pressure Sensor (G71) Open Circuit / Short With Power Intermittant 00518 Throttle Position Sensor (G69) Open Circuit / Short With Power Intermittant 0530 Throttle Position Sensor (G88) Open Circuit / Short With Power Intermittant 00523 Intake Air Temp Sensor (G42) Open Circuit / Short With Power Intermittant 00282 Throttle Position Actuator (V60) Output Open Intermittant There was no engine light on, so I thought that perhaps these were old codes from when the old throttle body failed. So I hoped that cleaning them might sort the problem and I could also see if any of the codes came back. So I cleared the codes and the problem was still there. I was testing it while parked on the drive for about 40 mins and none of the fault codes have come back. Third Attempt It had a function on the scanner to 'Reset Throttle Body' so my mate tried it. Anyway it did its thing, we tried it and the problem was completely different and much worse!! It wouldn't hold stable revs at all. So we did a code scan and it came back with: 01087 Basic Setting Not Performed So I went and googled that while he kept trying the 'Reset Throttle Body' function and did all the actuator tests on the scan tool. When I came back out the code had gone and the problem was back to its original state. Phewww What Can I Do Next? - Can I open up the black plastic part of the Throttle Body and clean out anything in there? Anything else? after that I'm stumped....... Please Help!!
  9. Is this thinner than normal silicone sealant? It looked like it was something thinner than normal sealant that was used from factory.
  10. I need to put a new Cam Cover (rocker) gasket on my Lupo 1.4 Sport as its leaking into the spark plug holes. I'm doing the cambelt so thought I might as well sort it at the same time. Anyway I just took it off and can see that its not a gasket but a machined face. So I guess I need some sort of liquid gasket? Anyone know what I need? and where I can get it?
  11. I'm a mechanic and my little brother in law has asked me to look at a Lupo 1.4 Sport that he wants to buy. It looks a really nice car only issue I could spot was an oil leak. But I couldn't see where its coming from so I wanted to see if you guys who know these cars inside out i'm sure could shed some light on it. - Its on the rear side of the engine. - You can see the stain where its been leaking onto where the gearbox meets the engine. Right near the starter motor. - There seemed to be fresh wet oil on the underside of the throttle body. - It has the metal inlet manifold on this model and the throttle body sits above the starter motor. Anyone got any ideas? I ran my fingers around the head gasket line and didn't find any oil so I don't think its that, but it is cramped around the back and I couldn't get my fingers into all of it. I'm going to go back with a torch and mirror today and would appreciate your thoughts as I don't know vw's at all.
