Hi, my daughter has a 2008 VW Fox 3dr (1.2) and has a problem with its rear wiper. At first I thought it was the motor, but upon investigation, I now think it may be a problem with the power to it. The fuses are OK, and I can hear the pump work when trying to use the washers. I’ve checked the supply to the unit, and only getting 5v? The reason why I also mentioned the washer, is because when getting access to the motor, I noticed the boot was wet and a smell of the washer fluid was in the boot. It was wet on the passenger side in the boot and I noticed dripping underneath the passenger door? how do I get access to where the power and washer pipe runs? Is there a separate unit in the rear which may have a fault due to the water escaping somewhere? thanks in advance steve

Seat Arosa 2003 6H [1997-2004] Hatchback Hatchback 1.0 999ccm 50HP 37KW (Petrol) So as a new driver I always found it tricky to ensure I bought the right parts for servicing the car. Seemed that different sites used different picture for things such as filters and was never sure on what I should/shouldn't buy. Some people find this no problem at all but for me was a bit more of an issue. Anyways I am doing a basic service on the car and replacing a few things, for my own history and for others who may find this difficult I have listed the parts I bought (I will include links but these may expire). Filter Kit - Seat Arosa 1.0 Petrol 99-05 Oil,Cabin & Air Filter Service Kit vw26 [eBay link] Fuel Filter - Comline Fuel Filter Genuine OE Quality Service Replacement Part [eBay link] Wiper Blade Driver - HELLASTANDARD WIPER BLADE 21" Part No : 939AA2107 [GSF link] Wiper Blade Passenger - HELLASTANDARD WIPER BLADE 19" Part No : 939AA1907 [GSF link] Water Coolant Temperature Sensor - [eBay link] Spark Plugs - 4x Seat Arosa 6H 1.0 Genuine Bosch Super 4 Spark Plugs [eBay link] Ignition Coil Pack - Seat Arosa 6H 1.0 2 Terminal Genuine Lemark Ignition Coil Pack Replacement [eBay link] Spark Leads - BBT IGNITION LEAD KIT Part No : 926VG0150 [GSF link] Sump Plug (Oil Change) - STANDARD SUMP PLUG Part No : 116VG0240 [GSF link] Car Battery - YBX3063 12V 45Ah 425A Yuasa SMF Battery [link] £53 from GMF Car Oil - Castrol Magnatec 10W40 A3 before Oil 4 Litre [link] * I used 10W/40 but 5W/40 is better in Winter from my understanding. As I'm also going to try and repair the switches on the driver unit for the windows 2x Electric Window Switch for VW LUPO 6X1 Polo 6N2 Cordoba 6X0959855B MA1541 [eBay link] Please use this as a guide and I will update with quality/functionality when I use the parts. These items are just what I have found and bought not a must buy for anyone, if anyone else has any recommendations or upgrade on parts through experience or quality then please comment below.

In a recent cold spell the missus went out to the car to drive to work and on starting the car the wipers failed to operate. She tried the stalk for the rear wiper and the screenwash but the stalk was completely dead. Immediately I jumped to fuse but it's unlikely that all three signals are on the same fuse (wash, front wipe and rear). I presume it's likely to be stalk failure but I can't imagine the switch being over CAN and failing the same as the Mk4 golf stalks have a tendency to. I'll check the fuses and relays tonight and then look at replacing the stalk at worse case. Anyone had similar before? Cheers.

Hi all, just wanted to know which rear wipers on other models of VW fit a 1.0 Lupo? Hear about ones like aero blades and things like that but not too sure what I should be looking for. Cheers, Luke

Rear wiper motor stopped spaying and started leaking into the tailgate, new motor £120 + ouch, Ebay £35 much better, arrived wel boxed didn't work GRRRRR. so simple rebuild instructions for the rear wiper motor. Remove the wiper arm, carefully pull off the plastic washer jet while it's still on the car as it's much easier. remove the trim panel, remove the hose and the connector. undo the 3 nuts drop off the motor. Remove the back panel use TORX bit. if like me your spay tube is broken in half you will need to drill out the tube which is brass at 3.2mm. ( It fails because the steel rusts expands grips the tube and snaps it when it wipes then it starts leaking) I used the new motor as a donor to replace the tube, drill out the steel at 3.5mm or 3.75 if you have it. I didn't so I used wet and dry wrapped around a 1mm drill to smooth out the bore to get a good sliding fit. Plenty of grease on tube and re-assemble and re-fit.

Hi, A while ago I've noticed a small puddle under my left rear wheel, and the washer jet on rear wiper stopped working. I've found that the hose/pipe is broken (see circled position). I have tried removing rear trim panel and a corner of roof liner but I cant find the other end of the hose/pipe. When I spray the water starts coming out around the rear wheel. Does anyone knows where does the pipe goes thru ? Does it come from under the car or inside, under the carpet?? Thanks

Hi Guys, I became the proud owner of a VW Lupo yesterday, and I love it. Unfortunately the car has come with some 'character' i.e, some stuff that really needs fixing or at least a good bodge! Thought I'd post on here as a friend also owns a VW and said it's a great place to get advice. So, list of problems (bear with me): 1. Driver side door is operated on a different key. Not sure why, but it's the only one. I have thought about swapping it for the passenger side lock just to make life easier, and then maybe adding central locking... I have a few good friends who know what they're doing - has anyone done it before and how long does it take? 2. The Doors clunk quite loudly - previous owner said it was to do with the bolts being to small? Anyone know where I can get some that will fit or anything I can do to quieten the noise a little? 3. Rear wiper is unresponsive and looks as though its stuck 1/4 of the way through a movement. Probably a fuse but has anyone else had this? 4. Starter motor is pretty knackered (first attempt at a start the car screams, works on 2nd/3rd attempt). How easy is it to fit? does it need to go to a garage? I've found reconditioned ones for about £30 delivered. Doesn't seem to happen with a full tank of petrol? 5. The emissions light came on during the drive to work this morning? But the car has just been through its MOT? Any ideas? ( I know this is a bit vague). I know they're not the end of the world but if I could get them fixed it would turn an already good little motor into a great one. Any advice would be great Thanks! Spence

Get the misses a nice little 1.4 16v looks perfect and cheep. but get it home starts to rain so switch on the wipers and get a little puff of smoke out of the steering colum followed by the aromer of burning wire. It seems to be the rear wiper select that sets it off but the stalk wont selected fast only intermitant it wont move up at all. Is this anything anyone has come accross before. Is there a seperat fuse for the rear wiper if there is a short? I haven't opened it up yet ill have to wait till i can get it into work on monday.
