Pete0309 Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Hi y'all So my Lupo vibrates, although shakes would be a better word. It mainly does this when I start it and if I press the clutch. The boot cover shakes and rattles like crazy! Also, when I am braking at lights etc, and I press the clutch in the engine makes a brrr sound like it is revving up but the rev counter is dipping. Anyone know what is causing these issues, and if they are related? Also are they fixable without going to the garage. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Is it an SDI model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mk2 Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Sounds like a misfire...? Not much power as well? Running on 3 not 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete0309 Posted October 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Basic 1.4 54 plate, not SDI. 2 new coils a while ago, was doing it before and after coil change. Power okay, can get up to 80-90 no probs, accel okay, maybe a little down on what I remember it being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 Could be a leaky valve? Need more symptoms description TBH. Has the cam belt ever snapped or engine overheated in the past? Does the engine warm up normally (quickly)? Is the car used mainly on very short runs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sausage Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 What is the idle speed? is there a clutch switch on these that tells ecu clutch is pressed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sausage Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 Take a video of it doing what you mean, when you press the clutch etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete0309 Posted October 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 I tried to video the clutch/brake thing after work but it didn't do it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 Sounds ok! Ok, so it sounds like you have a dashboard rattle or something in the coin tray, but nothing bad.... video of engine maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sausage Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 TDI have a metal heat shield that can rattle with the gear change cables on it, not sure if the petrol lupos have that or not but that is what it sounds like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
