JonnyPeka Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Hello folks!Just thought i'd introduce myself as I've just bought an arosa tdi, and thought it's probably best I sign up to club lupo for all my small hatchback needs! So on the weekend just gone I took a trip up to Manchester to look at an Arosa Tdi, i'd been looking for a Tdi for ages, either lupo or arosa, and this one came up and at the right kind of price, so I thought, why the feck not go check it out. So after a nice two hour drive I was greeted with a nice canica blue tdi. Checked it over, took it out for a spin and thought, yeahh, I think i need this in my life. Pictures speak louder than words, so heres afew pics. With the weather being so shite i've not actually taken any of my own yet, so heres some I took from the advert that sold it to me. Gotta say though, you can really tell its a cheaper car than the lupos, everything does feel a tad cheap. So, issues i've figured out since buying it- the temp gauge has a mind of its own, it climbs up then drops, then stays dropped for ages, so it mostly shows no reading, any idea what this is? Temp sensor? - Ive got one main beam bulb thats gone- My drivers side electric window switch doesnt work, so i cant raise or lower windows from my side, apparently i just need a new switch (if anyones got one, please drop me a pm)- think its a tad too low as i keep scraping the belly pan or whatever its called, which now rattles like crazy when the cars idlingI think thats pretty much it.. those are my initial things to fix, as well as anti rusting the arches. If anyones got any suggestions or comments, smack me up with them. Cheers, Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lupoboz Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Hi Jon, As for the coolant gauge, you'll most probably require a new coolant temperature sensor, as this is the most likely culprit of the fault. The undertray which is rattling, has possibly been hit as the car has been lowered too much!, lol. The headbulb is an H7 which is a simple enough job to replace.Would you like a price on the temperature sensor. Let me know if so and I'll send you a PM as before.Regards Dale (Lupoboz).
