VeeDubber Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 On my old mk2 golf, you took the air filter housing of the top of the carb. There was then two holes, one with a thin pipe over it and one with a valve, I just poured about half a bottle in to both. The revs will die down and the engine will sound really rough, due to lack of fuel.Just use the throttle on the side of the carb to keep the revs up and pour the cleaner in to the carb in small amounts, using the throttle to clear it through, if you get what i mean style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":confused:" border="0" alt="confused.gif" /> lolDunno if this is any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VeeDubber Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 If you wanna clean the fuel system on the lupo, best thing to do is pour it in the petrol tank before you next fill up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOCK Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 (edited) If you wanna clean the fuel system on the lupo, best thing to do is pour it in the petrol tank before you next fill up.Agreed. Your Lupo has fuel injection therefore no carbs (you have one or the other). I'm gonna be getting some myself soon me thinks.NOCK Edited April 28, 2007 by LUPO NOCK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavs_arosa16v Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 The bit you are trying to clean is the throttle body. Undo 4 allen keys engine cover, undo screws on air box lid, remove pipe to oil breather and air feed and lift off lid. Take out the panel filter and you will be loooking down the hole of your throttle body. This is where you need to spray the cleaner. I would get a solvent spray type, make sure your engine does not cut out when doing it best with 2 people one reving while you spray. Just gets all the gunk from the oil breather off the throttle body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupo* Posted April 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 is it like a metal cylinder and has a flap the spins open and close inside? as a little bit of black oil was all round it all messy and on part of the air filter too. guess thats not good. looked like fresh oil tho...thanks for the input.

cardaft Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 I cleaned the throttle body on my 1.0 arosa before, its easy to do and it made a bit of a difference to the pick up of the engine. I also often use gas treatment in both of my arosas, keeps the injectors etc in good condition and it running how it should.But red-ex isnt the best of stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
