So I manged to get to work park up and then on my way to work I notice I have a loud like vibration when i trun right which I have no idea what it is as of yet, but when I went to start it after work it started up fine and my concern is could it be a starter motor or something? I need help ASAP as its what I want to be using for a year or more as a daily

Hmm not sure, I think the not starting and the knocking are two different things.

When the vibration happens what sort of road conditions is it? bumpy, smooth?

And it only does it when turning right and not in a straight line or anything? Could be CV joint knackered

My lupo has this problem we checked lots things on it an the motor started but it wasn't that it was to do with the temperature sensor telling my car it was to warm to start when it wasn't so the oil and water light kept flashing and then when indrive and turn right the car jerks vibrates and then cuts out but we still not found out what that problem is.

These cars seem to have the worst simple problems to sort out surely VW, should do something about this or should of at least recalled them after all these issue

I have no clue whats up with my car its starting to get frustrating when I dont have the time to look at it or do the work it needs on it doing :censored:

also thanks for your replys :D:thumbup:

Ignore the starting issue unless it happens again

Jack up the car an check the wheel bearings for play

Ive done this and so did the guys at ATS to have a look see if they could find anything they said all that's fine, But I do have play in both wheels a little bit but not much... So When I got told it was a gear box I was Shocked as Ive not really noticed gear boxes to be super hmming and loud ESPECIALLY when turning right its mind blowing O_O

They said they cant find anything wrong in that sort of area, It sounds like a gear box but Take it to a specialist to see what they say about it which im doing on Monday but the worrying thing is the noise, Its so loud when I hit like 40+ and Only stops when i slow down and its annoying me

Jack the front wheels up and start it up, put it in gear see if it makes the noise with no pressure on the drive wheels.

Please do it safely though.

It only checks IQ if you try and taste the tyre as it goes round,

When was the gearbox oil level checked? , lupos can leak from the selector shaft , the box runs dry and destroys fifth gear ,

If its a rapid clonking sound on turning , it could be the CV joint failing.

Last checked Last weekend When I clean the breather pipe and it was up-to the plug, It sounds like motor way wake up strips when i turn :/

also When I drove back today from the garage I went up to 30/40 in second gear the noise was only there when i turned I changed into 3rd and the vibrating hmm was there then when slowing down in 3rd it got quiet until i speed back up to the 30/40 mark

40mph in second gear ?? Start saving for a gearbox

Still sounds like CV joint , but ragging the tits out of it will just kill the box , lupo gearboxes are rather weak

So the wheels & tyres have been checked out, no lumps ,bulges or delamination of the tyre ? Wheel balance ok?, wheel ok not buckled or flat spotted ?

So what's left

, wheel bearings , they rumble when worn , get louder with speed , easy and cheap to fix , if you are handy that is

Cv joints , They clunk and ping and bang whilst turning sharp under load* Still easy to fix , just buy a complete drive shaft from a motor factors

Diff bearings and output bearings , rumble & get louder with speed, gearbox rebuild time , bearing kits on eBay for about £100

* one way to check cv joints , go find a empty car park , drive car round on full lock ,try the left then the right whilst giving it a bit of throttle , if the cv joints are shot they will moan like buggery ,But in extreme circumstances when doing that the joint can pop out , leaving you stranded

Wheels are okay Had one that was egg shaped changed and the vibration stopped for a while but was still making the turning noise When I was turning, Also lots of my mates friends have said CV or Bearing due to how loud it is and it not being one thing or the other, I dont think My diff has been checked Or that But Im getting it all checked over tomorrow by my mums partners mechanical mate who owns a garage, saying about the clonk noise I might of heard this when i went to park one time at work but i had music on and not sure if it was on that or my car But i shall try all things listed and get back to you guys

Thank you all for you kind help And the funny replies
