Guest ModdedCars Posted February 22, 2002 Report Share Posted February 22, 2002 My Lupo is due for its first year service at the start of march, got a few things that I've noticed, just wondered if its just a trait, or an actual problem that I should mention to them...When I start the car up, when it actually fires up, you get a rattle that sounds very much like when a Diesel engine fires up. It doesn't last, its just that initial engine ignition....And when you stop the engine, there is a similar rattle as the engine cuts out. Anyone else have similar problems? Makes me scared sometimes that this bloke sold this car for a reason!! I mean, why didn't VW try to sell it?? How come this Fords of Winsford had it for 2 months? Soon find out at the service....I could always phone up the previous owner.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bAAx Posted February 22, 2002 Report Share Posted February 22, 2002 ...mine has somthing similar, when cold, itll be rather reluctant to gas on low revs but itll only do that the first say 1 minute.. sound "a bit" like a diesel too on ignition.. can you record the sound and post/send it, and if it doesnt sound like mine ill post my lupos sound too style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ModdedCars Posted February 23, 2002 Report Share Posted February 23, 2002 Well, I've booked it in with VW, and told them to have a look at it while its being serviced. We shall soon see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shao_khan Posted February 25, 2002 Report Share Posted February 25, 2002 I actually have a problem where mine is quite unresponsive at low revs when cold - no funny noise but awfull drivability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusoe Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 i'd say they all do that, can get louder if the oil level isn't near the top though but don't think the diesel like noise is anything serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
