Is it likely to be an 02 sensor?

Give it a full dose of cat cleaner and give it half-to an hour on a motorway -
There's nothing wrong with that car

When Britain crashes out of the EU and the £ becomes worthless we will only be able to afford to run an SDI or a TDI, using red diesel

Sand Dancer, check everything😉 -
I'd need bigger wheels, 15" minimum, worth doing though for any car with the 256 mm discs and calipers, more needed for the 239mm brakes though
-
Too far away, sorry
-
Its to go into a 57 plate Polo, which has a seized engine, I would agree with the comments about the later engines being weaker, I have two 2001 TDI's with huge mileages, whereas this failed engine on the Polo only has 66,000 miles on it.
-
There are a few different engine codes for these engines varying with the vehicles they were fitted to, has anyone used a Polo TDI engine with the BNV BNM or BMS codes, are they interchangeable? This could be an issue if the Lupo engine ever breaks or for someone with a Polo or a Fabia looking to fit a TDI unit from a Lupo or an Arosa
-
Brake system is different too, sport has rear discs and bigger front calipers, you might get away with just changing the fonts though but it's quite involved, overall though I wouldn't bother
-
Reg would be useful as some of us like to check if its a CAT C or D but at that price it doesn't really matter, I'd buy it but Scunny is too far away
-
that equates to my average, more or less depending on the run type. 70mpg is a fantasy unless you are prepared to do Motorway runs at a steady 55, but 10mpg is equally ridiculous, either a leak or theft
-
if it is emissions, add a dose or even two to half a tank of fuel and give the car a 50 mile run
-
you need to be less sensitive and more specific about what you mean
-
you risk a 2nd offence if caught using a phone to check speed
-
your speedo may not read your true speed

change your tyre profile to 185/60/14

A mk 2 Golf with Boge Turbo gas and matched and slightly lower springs, made perfect with a polybush kit

I've bought one off ebay
-
The test was done on Tuesday, I've got 5 replacement bulbs which will be good enough but not perfect, but the outside is chipping and cracking as I try to pull it out.
-
MOT time on the Lupo TDI Sport, advisory on the 3rd brake light, I've got the replacement bulbs but the whole thing is cracking up with age, do I buy a new unit, or can I legally tape it up, the car is black so black gaffer tape will conceal it, I know that it will fall apart if I try to remove it.
-
I think we both would need 15" wheels to run these in our TDI's
-
I have two TDI's
-
So possible on a SDI with blending but unwise on a TDI? My only experience of using Veg oil in in a 5 cylinder Merc diesel, where it was fine as a 50/50 blend
-
The Lupo is not yet a classic, maybe when the earliest get to 25 years old...maybe
