sellick Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Hi all, having some issues and really hope you can help!I haven't driven the Lupo for a while so I charged the battery and went out to it today. When it's cold, it wants to idle really low (will cut out after a few seconds if not revved). If I keep the revs up around 1200rpm for a minute or so it will idle and drive perfectly. I can then turn it off and it starts again instantly, but when left to go cold and re-started it won't idle. It's a 1.4s (75bhp), and the egr valve is blanked but otherwise standard. If I hold the revs around 2000rpm the oil light can sometimes come on.My thoughts:- Charge battery - done, no difference- Check oil - absolutely fine, quite high on the level but not excessive- Clean throttle body - do I just clean the actual port where the air enters? Or is there some sort of sensor that can be cleaned?- Clean 'black box' crank case breatherI have emptied the fuel tank and replaced for fresh fuel and some redex. It was MOT'd with this fault and passed emissions fine. I am just trying to sell the car, and it's typical that problems would start to occur now!Any help would be really appreciated!Thanks, Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sellick Posted May 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Also, when revs are held at 2000rpm for a while, there is sometimes a very slight (only just noticeable) misfire. Otherwise, the car drives perfectly. Any ideas?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Sprocket Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Are there any codes on the ECU? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sellick Posted May 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Unfortunately I don't have vag-com. I have removed and cleaned out the throttle body, is there any way I can reset the codes without vag-com? I guess leaving the battery disconnected for a while doesn't work?
