leelupo Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Hi, i have been havng trouble with the running of my Lupo 1.4 16V ever since i bought it. The plugs have been oiling up causing the car to miss fire. also the Oil light is coming on when the engine is hot and i am driving the car between 1-2 x 100 revs, but goes if i accelerate. i have been told that the piston rings may have gone and this is why i am getting this problem. Is this a common fault????????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Its a common fault with the 1.4s yes.Its the valve seals or guides more often or not.The oil light may be coming on because the oil may be low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
