xmiss_vwx Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Hi my lupos a 2000 plate and recently ive had loads of problems fair enough its a old car but theres something seriously wrong its spluttering as if sparks or ht lead are dodgy but both have been replaced and also had my coil pack replaced a year or 2 ago and a few times now ive been driving and its just lost power and ive had my foot flat to the floor and just no reaction and then just sprung into life, another problem ive had is the engine shuddering and shaking as ive started it up but the next time its fine or it starting and stalling pretty much straight away and a few times the smell of fuel too but i put that down to possible engine flooding i just wanted to see if anyone has possibly had anything simular or know if these r common faults? I will have to take to a garage but just dont want to be ripped off or just plugged on a computer thanks guys hope u have some answers for me xmiss_vwx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashh Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Did you use genuine leads and coil pack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xmiss_vwx Posted December 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Yep, coil pack was done in quick fit by a friend and leads purchased and changed by a family friend theyve been changed and checked several times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DENTOUT Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Clean the throttle body out and get it realigned by someone with vagcom... Its extremely common on all lupps, worth starting there pal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DENTOUT Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Does it cut out when pulling up at junctions? Idle at 500rpm or less? Worse when hot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lupo1.0se Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 could be a dirty egr valve. Although i am not sure if your model has this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derv Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 You need to check for fault codes first. Otherwise you are just stabbing in the dark, and could end up buying a load of new parts you don't need.There should be someone local with VCDS or a code reader that will help out.

lupoluke Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 ^^^What he said, put your location up, or get on eGay and get a lead I'f you have a laptop then post your logs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
covlupo Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 no response from throttle could be the potentiometer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DENTOUT Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 I have vcds vagcom, usually if theres a lambda fault or egr fault its neither, if you have a potentiometer fault the throttle body will not reset adaptations, it cannot learn its parameters properly.All of these lead to potential throttle body failure.Not uncommon tbh! I can rectify your problem very cheaply, no need for new parts unless you have a potentiometer fault code! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
