Is it the same as this? http://forums.clublupo.co.uk/index.php?/topic/95170-a-whistling-sound-happens-when-im-driving-any-ideas-video-included/

Yah, I had put some oil in it, but then yesterday I was driving then put it into 4th then it just completely went. I could barely get it to go into any gears at all. Luckily I was less than a mile from home so managed to just get it back.

The gearbox completely died yesterday actually. I've managed to find one for £200 from a 1.7 Lupo, this is a decent price isn't it? I think it has 120k miles on it but apparently works so hopefully it'll drive well once it's fitted!

Today whilst I was driving, my gearbox seemed to suddenly go. I managed to get driving again to get back home, but now when I'm moving and I lift off the power, the car makes a very loud 'whiny' noise, which goes away if I go on the clutch. I think the gearbox might be leaking oil, so it's a possibility that there is no oil left in it at all. If there is no oil in it, and I put oil in, could it possibly fix this? Or will I probably need a whole new gearbox now??

The spare wheel in my arosa moves about a lot when I go around corners or over speed bumps, and it looks like it's supposed to have a bolt on it to keep it still. Does anyone know where I can buy such a bolt, or if they could possibly give me a photo of theirs so I can see what it looks like? Thanks.

Ok yeah Haha silly me.

Thanks I'll give that a try to see if it fixed it at all. Well it's not my first post, but yeah sorry about that. The video in the OP wasn't working for me when I checked it again which is why I posted the video with the normal youtube url the second time as I thought that would fix it, but now the first video is working anyway. And then I posted it in the lupo forum too, but I'm guessing that's not allowed seeing as that thread just got merged with this one, I don't see why it wasn't just deleted instead but meh. It sounds to me that it's more inside the car as opposed to being muffled. And yeah I've though it might be some sort of wind noise, but I just can't figure out in particular what would be causing it. I was just hoping someone on here would have had the same problem previously so they'd know what it was.

I actually have an arosa but I thought this may well have happened on some Lupos too, so someone here might know the answer. Basically very often when I'm driving a sort of whistling sound randomly starts and stops when I'm moving, as can he heard in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGuk31fsPuY&feature=player_embedded Any ideas as to what it could be?

I always drive in 5th at 40mph and 4th at 30mph, but I have no idea if this is the best MPG. I've always just assumed it's good to be as at low revs as possible as long as the car isn't vibrating to ****. I work as a delivery driver for the vast majority of the time when I use my car, so the engine is warm most of the time when I'm using it which probably helps a bit. In my 1.7SDI I seem to usually get around 53mpg just driving it around town without really trying much to drive economically, but I can get it to around 57-60 if I try more I think.

Hmm the above video link isn't working now when I try it. This one should work though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGuk31fsPuY

You can hear it in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGuk31fsPuY&feature=youtu.be Any ideas at all on what it is? I'm clueless, and don't seem to have worked out a pattern on when it occurs. It just seems to happen randomly, whether I'm on the power or off it, but usually only seems to happen at over 40mph or so.

Where abouts in LT is that? I know someone from Kaunas.

This is my 1.7SDI: It's my second car and despite it being painfully slow, I really like it. It's much nicer to drive than my last car (1.0 '98 saxo), and the MPG I'm getting around town is very good, about 55MPG. I seem to get nearly 70MPG just cruising at 55-65mph though, so great for long journeys. I'm thinking of maybe getting it looking like this in the summer: What do you think? Also, any of you ever been on a long road trip in an Arosa? I'm thinking of driving around places like switzerland, italy and france in the summer, just wondering if anyone else has had an experience of doing something like that in an Arosa.

Any ideas?

Like I said, I tried that but it didn't work
