Ok done now ........ made a pipe out of some spare in dads garage that was the same diameter , Revs have dropped now to a normal rate and running sweeter than before Job done
-
My exhaust is blowing and have been quoted 118 pounds to replace does that sound ok ?
-
It's a rubber pipe with a bend that goes to the carb
-
Can anyone please help me out here ? I need a name of the part or a part number so i can get it sorted asap ?
-
Can anyone here help ? Managed to get the lower one from a local lupo breaking , it's the other one i need the one to the carb ? this lupo that was being broken for spares had no EGR valve and was blocked off so didn't have the pipe i needed Anyone help me sourcing the part number ?
-
So the Lupo is over revving and i can hear a hissing sound Take off the engine cover and find two pipes with major splits in , Can anyone post up a parts diagram ? So i can find the vw part numbers ? thanks in advance

Right fixed the EPC took the above advice checked the fuse .... was ok .... then lubricated the switch and manualy moved it in and out and now brake lights work and EPC has gone out .... Drove it for a few miles and guess what ? yep the check engine light is back on again ( not the EPC ) ....... taking it back to our friend to see if it's the same code it threw up last time , he reckons its the temp sensor doing our heads in this ...
-
Hoping fixing this switch is finally the end to the dreaded lights on the dash lol
-
well we just cleared the error and a friend who has owned VWs for years reckons the temp sensor ( i think that's what he said hang on I'll ask him ) could be at fault , ( according to the laptop ) someone has replaced it in the past he said it has a green one in it so it has been replaced but it's not genuine VW , he says the cheaper ebay ones tend to be rubbish as he has found out ..... He's cleared the error, as he said as it's been replaced they might not have cleared the codes so been told to drive it and see if the light comes on againthen re scan and see if it throws the same codes up When we got home the EPC light has come on now ....... Just checked and yes the brake lights are not working !!!!!
-
no it just plays the radio or cd then a loud crack ......... sound goes off ...... everything still working lights cd etc ..... switch on and off lights off then lights up still no sound , leave it ten mins or so and sometimes when switching on it works again for a short while and repeats the process !!! Got a spare stereo but looks a daunting task getting this OEM one out ? has an oem cd player too
-
It's running lovely though !!! i don't get it ........ having a nosey through last MOT and advisory was the light being on ...... so guy cleared it it before he sold it me .... Find out friday when we do a full scan he scanned my boyfriends newbeetle and sorted a few faults on that so fingers crossed ...... noticed it failed on emissions then passed second time ..... got to be an exhaust fault ..... thanks for the advice may get a cable for the laptop as i have an iphone
-
Can anyone explain why the radio/cd in my car just cuts off ( big crack and then no sound ) but is still all lit up ? had the drivers doorcard off and speaker is connected ok ?
-
Ok so the 'so called mechanic' said the fault was the egr valve ..... and then breaks it trying to seperate it ......so end up buying a replacement ...... light goes off and hey presto after driving a few miles it's on again Really beginning to lose patience with this car Am i best using Vag.com as a friend has it, to check for more faults ?
-
Well it came on after a long trip to Blackpool when i put it in reverse to park up ??? got in today and it has gone out ...strange
