Koop Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 Nah you still need the tracking done properly so not a waste really, though adjusting the hubs might throw it out a bit so could have done with doing them the other way round. I wouldn't worry about it too much though tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So before I got my golf I actually crashed my little arosa long story cut short chavs smoking weed being dicks icy conditions bang. Since then I've sold the car to my friend and going to help him get it road worthy again turning it into a rat look van to carry hisSons little crosser so that could get interesting I will get some pics when I can.In other news I got a Saxo I'm not proud of myself but come October I will also have a lupo!! 1.4 16v non sport under 70k though bought from a friend £400 bargain! Planning on taking this one a little bit further (unless a sport pops up) than the arosa so watch this space!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamGill Posted September 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Well clutch needs sorting out and needs a full service it's not been serviced in years! So probably flush engine and coolant ect. Think fuel filter is blocked up a bit too seems to drop revs when it's first started but then fine when you rev it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This site is so quiet now but I still enjoy browsing through and I'm sure others do so its best I keep some post going! So since my last Lupo above its not moved I'm actually breaking it now if anyone is interested!! I now have a 1.4 Lupo sport at long last! Not in great condition but under 100k miles but engine and gear box is solid clutch slipping when cold so currently on going replacing clutch and cable as well as replacing bottom arms track rod ends and ball joints. Trying to source a gti anti roll bar too before I rebuild all the front end. Anyway this is the picture from the ad. So there it is. Dodgey welded de cat pipe needs replacing and cheap ass induction kit! After standard air box and all pipes if anyone has one. Need some new front seats thinking rx8 or mk4 golf but recoverd red/black Is on Coilovers but I do have some brand new ap's on the other Lupo I'm going to put on. Want rid of those dreadful multi fit wheels have some vw bottle caps to go on just need tyres! Keep looking hopefully this wil move faster than recent projects now I have the car I want and more money due to cheaper insurance now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamGill Posted February 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 So my 6 days consisted of losing the bid on eBay for arb Vw telling me the front arb been on back order for up to 5 week! The lad who 'sold' me the braces mistook someone else for me and sold them... Arse. So had to build car back up as got a lovely long weekend away in the lakes from my girlfriend for my birthday So clutch done everything built back up new exhaust centre pipe and flexi made up! Started the car eventually... No throttle. Great. Crawled it to a local garage on tick over 2.5 miles away... Took for ever! 7 codes all to do with throttle body basically. Between me and the mechanic had a good check over found a wire trapped between starter motor and bell housing! Just nipped the wires for crankshaft sensor! Soooo all top half of back of engine off to replace crank sensor! Left that with my dad today as im now back at work! Boring updates I know but this stuff needsTo be done!!!
