Hello, you guys I have a (for me) huge problem Now I bought a nice new radio with mp3 player and want to exchange it for the old beta. The information from the VW workshop said: This has to be installed by the workshop, because the radio is connected to the diagnostic grave in the car and then has to be changed with the new radio or on the diagnostic device. Otherwise the electronics in the car would break… Installation costs: 150,00 EUR Radio costs: 89,00 EUR *gr ml* Do you know if the statement of the workshop is correct. And if so, what exactly must be changed??? Thank you for your help already. ellypirelli

A buddy has the problem with his lupo that the speed goes up when he lets the car roll out with the clutch pedal pressed. The speed rises to about 1800 rpm. Engine identification is ALL, 1.0L. Year of construction 1999. He got the problem after he cleaned the throttle flap (actually one expects it to run better after cleaning, but well…). Previously the problem was not. Workshop has tried with basic setting. Didn’t help. l looking at the throttle valve. It does not close completely. It remains a very small gap. With the hand you can press on the throttle valve and then close it completely. When closing you can feel a small resistance, which does not come through the flap itself, but from the poti? Can the poti have been damaged when cleaning the throttle valve? Can you change the idle position of the throttle valve (that it continues to go)? Where does “usually” the wrong air come from if you look at the throttle valve. Is there something you could test to find out what it can hang on? Thank you.

Hello forum, I have a question for you !! and I am looking for this part at the shock absorber. I marked red at the picture. Is the plate on which the counter nut is screwed up. I already looked at Ebay but did not find. Because have the problem that when I hit the steering wheel and drive over cobblestones or deeper potholes, always have a poltern. Had the car recently on stage. When I touch on the wheel top and bottom and the wheel to me and direction S The game is above. I’ve already changed the cathedral camp on suspicion. Now it doesn’t pollen as much as before, but it’s still there. Poltern comes from VR. Fall and track I have set. Game is still there. Spring is fine. Shock absorber looks good as far as possible (no oil exit). Cross handlebar jack is cut off soon, on both sides with support joints. But before that, I want to know why the Vilt. but shock absorber defective ?? Presumably but somehow this funny plate is at the top of the cathedral. Do you have another good tip. Be happy about every answer. Thanks already in advance.

Moin moin, Just got the valve cover down as the engine is suffing. Only one seal of the standing bolts found. Of course only the seal ordered in advance because I had the lid for the first time and knew nothing about these small seals. Will I buy from VW which ones tomorrow but how do I get them installed? Can I screw the standing bolts in first and then put the lid on it?

Moin, I looked at the Lupo today (-1 degrees, Frankfurt/M). I found funny ice oil. Has the consistency of water ice, if you still know it. I question the lubrication effect with nice broken (unfortunately only mobile phone camera): http://alex2308.com/fun/eisoel.jpg

Hi guys, I occasionally miss the power steering (on average 2 to 3 times a month, sometimes for a long time nothing again relatively often). This does not happen while driving, but when starting the engine. Not when the car was long, but when it only stood for a few minutes and then I start again. The failure is not temperature dependent, a restart does not help. Error code read out: 00570 – Relay for steering motor (J509) / 35-10 — Sporadic 00569 – Power steering motor / 27- 10 – unplausible signal – Sporadic As I have read here in the forum, I have already pressed the relays onto the relay carrier. However, these were not loose and today the same problem occurred again. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to continue? Replace relays? Thank you for your answer. Greetings, Dominik

It is a 1.4 with 60 HP AUC Where in the engine compartment I find the plug-in connection from the according to Kat probe in the engine compartment.

Maybe someone can help me.??? I drove with the II he Golf GTI (107 hp) from my buddy on the highway. Then suddenly a silver lupo behind me. I let him pass first and then to see how much he managed. behind stood SDI and next to it was ABT. I really thought I was spinning. I really had problems coming by him again. I guess he ran about 200 km/h Well the question is it is possible to do a 64 hp suction diesel on about 200 km/h or maybe it was a TDI with chip tuning

Servus, how much does which lupo consume? Thought > must commute soon 180 km/day to work and accordingly seek a reliable and little thirsty car with regard to diesel… If you could give me some data from your flitzers, would be really grateful…. MfG Buzter

Hello people, When I was this morning at 10 o’clock on the way into the swimming pool I noticed immediately after switching on that the idle speed was not normal at about 700upm guess I is (according to tacho) but on about 1200upm. That made me think. Then I started. when I was 2 minutes on the highway (after 10km driving distance all in all) caught on the tacho this motor energy.. so this motor with the current sign in yellow to start flashing. My operating instructions b I didn’t notice anything else, except the flashing of this yellow motor current led?!. I drove about 110 km/h. Then when I was 1 minute later under 100km/h the light went out again. After a while it came back again. When I got down from the highway (after 18km), I fell on that the engine did not pull at all. Then shortly before the swirl, I was sent back, because I had my Lupo 1.0l, BJ 12/2001, only 2 weeks. mmbad I had to drive up a light mountain in the 1st gear!!. Because in the 2nd the speed fell despite full gas!! Normal I can drive the light mountain in the 3rd gear. Then just on the way home was the leeer speed when switching on again to approx. 1200upm. And this yellow motor-current light lit directly up, the whole return drive over. When I arrived at home then the empty speed was also again on approx. 800upm (maybe because motor was then warm?) And he pulled still normal, so son The Lupo has 55,000km on it. I still have 2 years of this MPR guarantee. Oil and water also enough in it. Where can the problem lie? Thanks a lot!
