Piston crashed into Spark Plug? Stumped
V double U replied to ali_shaikh22's topic in Volkswagen Lupo
Also, wap a Torch down the cylinder because if the piston is near TDC you may be able to see the crown ? -

Get a long screw driver, and take out spark plugs 2 and 3, put the screwdriver down the spark plug sockets and see if there is any difference in how far it can go down... You should easily be able to tell if there's a hole in number two... If it's not cranking now are you sure the battery isn't dead? If the battery is fine it's looking like it's got a Leg out of bed (chucked a rod). If the piston had hit the valve and number 2 cylinder was on compression stroke the damage to the valve won't be as severe as if to say it was on exhaust or intake stroke as the valves would have been wide open (depending on prise time of collapse). If it's chucked a rod I'd look into the servicing of the car... When the oil was last changed etc. Hope this helps! -
Thank you!

Read through the whole thread, messaged you a while ago regarding those rail cults, I'm still all over them, please let me know if you are selling them. Amazing thread, a real big well done -
May do! Are you there?

Exactly, I'd go recaro buckets if I was to change but I like ferrying people around at the moment, track car is massively in the future so v1's should do fine for now

I'm Liam, I have a lupo 1.0E in black, registered in 1999. I'm 18, live in Scarborough and into the whole modified car scene... I'm into track and rally cars as me and my dad built them as a hobby after I'd finished school. I now study motorsports at college and am looking to go into university afterwards. I would show you a picture but I can't upas them on my iPhone! Sorry guys! If anyone seems me flying around give me a wave!

Future plan is to make it into a track car with a Gti engine... But I want the car to handle as best it can for the time I use It on the road... I'd love to spend money on the interior bit it's tiny inside! If put some Porsche seats in there but scared about the room inside
-
Righto, v1's are a definite then. Next up, head unit... I would like to upgrade the speakers and add a sub, any recommended head units? Would need to have a CD player and iPhone connectivity
-
Cheers for the fast replies, looking into KW v1's, seems the v2's and v3's are more track suited
-
I'd like to know which coilovers are the best out there to improve the handling on my lupo 1.0 please... I'd like to lower my car on them, the ride to be comfortable and not too rocky and for it to handle around the corners well.. Any suggestions? Much appreciated
