i spotted a red arosa at teeside park on wednesday and i spotted a silver lupo which it was safe to say he was driving about like a absolute n*b head

where are you located bud

could possibly be a missfire, but i would imagine you would know if it was, might want to do one spark plug at a time unplug ht lead unscrew the spark plug plug it back into the ht lead and rest it on the bare block (metal) get a friend to try it and see if it sparks try this for all the spark plugs, while you have each one out it me be worth just giving them a clean with a wire brush or somthing

how do you remove the oil breather pipe from the rear of the engine?? also has anyone got a part code for a oil breather pipe

so in a nut shell i need a new breather pipe and then the codes reset ??? yeahh mine has started rasping the past couple of weeks, i put it down to a loose heat shield

scrap yard or use wet and dry on them for a brushed steel effect

so i tried to remove the breather pipe with great failure, that plastic connector seemed to have two tabs which looked like if you popped them off it would come out, no look there the box that it connects too seems to have 3 or 4 Allan key bolts which where seized so squeezed it like a frube to get the most out of it runs smoother not at much smoking but still there

going to give my breather a good clean tonight see if i can get it off ill post up if there is any difference

let us know the outcome

spotted a pink lupo in the Osmotherly area north east england im pretty sure it was matte pink couldnt really get a good look as it was behind a garage and could only see the back 1/4 of the car anyone on here?

top ones with a good clean and low pro tyres

mine started at just high revs now it pretty much smokes all the time

i havnt seem to lost any power,well not that ive noticed anyways, however did relise it struggles up hills but i just put it down to lack of power

ps keep this updated please if you get any further ahead

im keeping a keen eye on this thread my car is having this problem, quick question, i your going a high revs for say 10/20 miles ie on a motor way then pull off and stop at a junction then set off again is there a bit cloud behind you ? ive also herd about cleaining these pipes but havnt got around to it yet

maxshearer1 check me out

or coolant temperature sensor

i believe they are the g60 wheels so if your selling them they are not just the price of standard steel wheels bare that in mind i like the g60s so i would keep them, personally i would spray them silver or get the refurbed but the choiice is yours

i dont see why not

question how do you get the clips of the fuel filter hoses

thats the add anyway bud he has spare wheel and set of alloys and stuff there just incase you change your mind http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/lupo-14-s-red-breaking-for-parts/1056196879

so there seems to be a bit of white smoke coming out my exhaust, bear in mind im not loosing any coolant what so ever so cant be my head gasket its worse if say im going down a motor way for a good few miles then come of and stop at a junction and set off again there is a fairly large cloud of smoke behind me can anyone give me some advice thanks

hi bud i see your in newcastle i went to a guy who is breaking his lupo the other day he is in houghton le spring, which is near you he is selling parts very cheap if you want to have a look i have his number if your interested

ill have to keep a look out for you

i think i had the same problem im not 100% but this is my take the you have the front of the hub which goes inside the bearing and then the bearing and the hub go inside the rear hub to create the hub assembly so i took mine appart to replace the bearing and pressed a new bearing in as, like you couldnt find the hub and bearing together, anyways i did this and when i put the hub inside the bearing i noticed there was still play in it, and this is what i thing your referring too the hub shaft where the splines are was worn so was slightly small for the bearing. i put it back together with the new bearing about 3 months ago and now the bearing is shot again no surprise to solve this you need a new hub and bearing i have been searching high and wide for one new and they are just no where im thinking i might have to head down to the scrap yard and buy a second hand one which has no play in it hope this helps a liitle
