04 Lupo 1.0L e getting 20 MPG?
Defcon5 replied to Alice-In-Sunderland's topic in Car Care, Maintenance and Mechanical
Clutch pedal issue may be the pedal box - search on here for more info. Regarding the fuel consumption? Is it leaking out? Check under the fuel filter when the engine is running and after it's been stood overnight. Are you definately brimming the tank? How many litres are you putting in it? Does your coolant temperature sensor work properly (gradual rise to 90, where it stays constantly) Tyre pressures all ok? Any other issues at all, noises etc? No lights on dash? -
Just explain this turbo sticking mr muscle scenario for me
-
Drill through the boot and hold it up from there - look through 99hjhms build thread for how to.
-
For the very small about the engine spends idling it won't make a difference

By sheer coincidence I happen to be selling a Lupo who's cambelt was replaced about 5k ago... 1.4 Sport though so may be out of your insurance budget

The man from SEAT, he tells lies. What does it do when you change down?
-
Cam belts are a serviceable item - they need changing every 4 years/ 40000 miles. It's not a 'problem with cars', they only 'go' due to failure to maintain them.
-
Temp sensor reporting wrong temp? Usually they drop to zero but I suppose it could report a higher than actual temp.
-
Defo not clutch slipping?
-
Is there some kind of club Lupo facebook? Is there a bit on it to sell cars?
-
It was another forum - adverts were just new topics. I remember when all this was fields...

I'll just sit here and remember how good the old classifieds used to be....
