Whippy Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Firstly i am not that technically knowledgeable when it comes to engines and the correct workings, but my lupo sport has over the past 2/3 months been slowly deteriorating.Firstly the car was just lacking power, it did not have anywhere near the same power...counting 22 seconds to get to 60 now the car is equally slow, but the the car is idling under 1,000, more like 600, and when at a junction i have to rev so it does not cut out.....currently a student with not alot of cash but willing to get stuck in in anyone has any pointers!!i did make a few videos of just the sound of the engine so will try and upload those!hope someone has the answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VR6 Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 (edited) It could be many things, plugs, leads, coil pack, lambda, MAF etc. Take it to a garage and get the fault codes read, or do it yourself with VAG COM.

Whippy Posted May 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 hmmm yeah did think i should just take it to a garage but wanted to see if there were a selection of things i could try first that could resolve the problem...its more fun doing it yourself anyway!!

Whippy Posted May 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 aha okay, guess the best thing is to get it down the road then and try and get the codes read! cheers mate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty_82 Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Or ask If anyone is local to you off the forum who has vagcom and might want to help you out ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Service time.Or you could just rip it out and fit a V8 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whippy Posted May 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Yeah a service is very needed, but it's the cost, buying some engine oil and new plugs tomorrow and will see if that helps!!!If anyone is in the Oxford area though that would help!!
