Lupo erratic tickover, central locking and clicky door!


Recommended Posts

Hello All,

Please could I ask your advice?

Our car ticks over between 500-1000 rpm and the engine warning light has now started to appear - any idea what causes this erratic tickover?

The doors click like mad and the drivers has sagged - any econimical solutions?

Is it easy/expensive to get key operated central locking?

Thanks a lot.

Drivers door clicking... Thats the check strap from the sound of it.

Sagging door... Hinge? Have they got any play in them?

Idle... Need to get it checked on diagnostics, cleaning the throttle body might help.

Edit... Somebodys faster than me.

Thanks for the replies.

The car is booked in for checking - been told probably throttle body needs cleaning or a sensor has gone down

don't like the sound of a 300 quid throttle body replacement!!!

Door check straps are v worn out just at the hinge point, will have to order the whole new thing tho

Door has got play in hinges but I assume I can't adjust them????????
