Sandro da Silva Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 Hello guys, I've bought myself a 2001 VW lupo 1.0. It was 500€ but it came with the engine light on. We suspected that the car was running on 3 cylinders, and today we got that confirmation. It had an error in the 4th cylinder. We replaced the candles, the coil and checked the cables as well. The car smells like gas every time its starts, as well when its stationary and I rev it, so it doesn't seem to be the injector (we think). Does anyone know what it could be? Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 Could be many things. Have you checked the compression on each cylinder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, i know but its hard to find someone that has the utility to do it. Also, the car has been sitting before the sale for 2/3 years. The car also, sometimes, seems like its running fine after the start but 1/2 min after it, it seems like its working bad again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
