P.Lindblom Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 (edited) Yesterday I bought a lovely little red Lupo. It’s mainly for my girlfriend who doesn’t like driving her huge BMW E34 during the winter but I realized that the Lupo is actually great to drive so I will be using it as well Here it isIt's got Rieger front and rear lips and a Remus exhaust. It also has a K&N induction kit which I'm going to throw away and replace with a standard airbox.My other car is a Lexus IS200 that I've modified quite a lot since I bought it three years ago.

P.Lindblom Posted April 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 (edited) I don't know if it's bad luck or if the Lupo is a poor car, but it's given me quite a few headaches this winter.The throttle response is really wierdEPC light used to flash a lot and the Check engine light came on a few times during winter. The engine decided to shut down one cylinder a few times.The windscreen washer pump gave upThe power windows work when they feel like itThe remote unlocks both doors but the passenger door usually locks itself again after less then a second. Why would it do that?When it was really cold condensation in the oil sump (or somewhere in that area) froze and prevented the oil from reaching the head and valves which caused a distinct valve noise and a flashing oil pressure light. Fortunately I was only a few hundred metres from my home so I pushed the car back and let it sit until the outside temperature was above 0 degrees.Yesterday the oil pressure light started flashing again but now I think it's the oil pressure sensor that's busted.Apart from all that it's a lovely little car Edited April 5, 2011 by P.Lindblom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Devil Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 The windscreen washer pump gave upThe power windows work when they feel like itThe window problems are common, but im not sure about the washer pump on everyone else's but mine did give up.

P.Lindblom Posted April 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 The window problems are common, but im not sure about the washer pump on everyone else's but mine did give up.Yeah, I just found the guide on how to mend the window buttons. Fortunately Lupo spare parts seem to be cheap. I bought a new washer pump for about £15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.Lindblom Posted April 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 (edited) Yesterday the oil pressure light started flashing again but now I think it's the oil pressure sensor that's busted.It turned out to be the pressure switch. When I unplugged the wire oil was coming out of the plug. I replaced the switch and the problem was solved.
