FunkyNutbar 0 Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Evening All!I've had my 1.0 Loop for a few months now and only had a couple of little gripes. The main one is the pesky Emmisions warning light! Can anyone point me in the right direction, or if anyone near Glasgow has a VAGCOM and fancies helping me out. Here's the history:It came on just after I picked it up, seemed to be on motorway journeys. Put it in for a service, seemed to run fine. Light was off.Month later, light came back on, motorway again. I don't rag it, usually sit about 60mph (It's a 1.0 after all!) Seemed to run ok for a few weeks then the engine wasn't playing nice. Sounded like a misfire (I have a very basic knowledge), put it in for another look. This time, HT leads changed and the Coil Packs were changed as there was a fair bit of corrosion on a bit of it. Running fine again.A week after (now) the light is back on again. Still seems to be running fine though. Any ideas?I also got a puncture, but I know how to sort that out!Ta!

Derv 19 Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) It's probably a good thing that the emissions light comes on. It's when you have 99 problems, but no MIL and no fault codes you're in trouble.BTTT for the VCDS appeal. Edited February 3, 2012 by Derv Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Silver! 0 Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Not sure about the problem but it could be a failing lambda probe.Get onto Scottish VAG and I'm sure somone will help you out with VAGCOM in your area.http://www.scottishvag.net/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stockle 2 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Lambda sensor about 50 to 90 quid for a good one they die pretty quick on lupos for some reason especially the 1.4s Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blaine 36 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 or the EGR may be in need of a clean out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lupojosh86 0 Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 I agree with VW murren mine had the same problem but also brought up the check engine light after a while, it turned out to be front lamba senser and the Egr needing to be replaced. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
