Hello, I have the following problems with my Lupo GTi : 1. lights up the OBD lamp (motor symbol), when reading out the error the tester writes “error mixture preparation”. I changed spark plugs and air filter (totally oiled) and cleaned the crankshaft housing ventilation. But after about 1 week it lights up again…. 2. the ABS/ESD lamp also lights up, in the error memory is “lenk angle sensor defective”. Now I asked at VW, which say the steering angle sensor is in the Cross-acceleration sensor integrated with?????? Is that true and I have to encode or program it after I replace it??? Would you be very grateful for your help…

Good afternoon, I have a little disagreement with a buddy of mine. On the picture you can see the instructions to tighten the cylinder head seal. I understand the instructions so that I put on screw 1 with 40 degrees and screw 2 with 60 degrees …. (Uzw. As it can be seen on the attached picture) But he means that all screws have to be tightened according to the scheme. So all screws first 40 degrees, then 60, then -90, then 60, then 2x 90. I thank you for your contribution to the clarification of the disagreement.

So far I had not taken the wetness in the car so seriously and pushed it onto a leaky rear flap seal. Now in the constant rain weather the car was so wet inside, that I looked at it more closely and actually the wetness on both sides comes from the roof. The sky is wet on both sides of the roof and hangs quite loose at the back, so someone will have been there before. So I once pushed out the roof strip on the left and then came the shock: plenty of rust. Of all at the roof! Never had a car with rust on the roof, let alone with a galvanized body. How could that be? Man, I laughed at it there … I just popped off paint and seal mass at two places now, but that looks quite like there was rust over the whole length in some places.

Hello! In advance, I am a Lupo newcomer and generally not a car expert. However, I recently bought a Lupo 3L and only after that I learned how “rarely” these were converted to a manual circuit. And just one I could buy cheaply. I fell in love with the vehicle and we are now in the familiar phase. In the car I found a schematic which is probably for the motor control unit. Can you tell me exactly what this schematic does? And where the “button” could be in the vehicle?

Hello Lupo municipality, to me is a Lupo 6X MKB AUC which I just set up a bit. I have a question about crankcase ventilation. Below the air filter box is a vacuum valve. The hose comes from the KGE. On the other side the connection is open. Where should this connection normally go? At the throttle valve unit sits a piece of hose that is closed with a blind plug. Is this possibly the right connection? AND: Why do you do something like this…? Thanks & Greeting Ciwa

Hello, In the Arosa Forum is unfortunately dead pants, and since the Arosa is identical to the Lupo, I ask the question again here. Our second car a Seat Arosa Bj.1999, 1.0 , 50PS constantly sucks the battery empty. When you get into the car you hear the Relai 410 ratter although keys are not in the ignition lock. So the Relai has power without ignition. Can it be because the Relai is defective and no longer shuts down or is the problem to look elsewhere?

Hello! I’m going to visit a used Lupo 1.0 from 2000 this afternoon. Are there certain things, typical weak points that can become expensive? Anything where I absolutely should look/ask or consider during a test drive? How is the spare parts situation? Are there still original parts for the model at VW? Does the engine control chain or timing belt? Does the car fit for self-screws? The supplier indicates that the car pulls to one side, and the electric glass sliding roof is dead. Supposedly also no rust and still unwelded. Sounds quite promising.

Hello together, I have the following problem: The Lupo ran so far reliably, one day at a traffic light the clutch apparently did not separate properly and the engine went off and after a long time only again. After that I was able to drive about 50 km and then nothing at all, no more gear went in, nothing. Then I did a basic setting, first set the KNZ and then all other steps carried out. After that the car started and all gears were inserted, but as soon as I let go the clutch jumps forward and goes out. After this jump the gear shift seems to also adjust, since on P the rear light for the return headlights concerns. P.s. is it normal that the value of the KNZ at the setting slightly fluctuates? I hope you can help me, VCDS is present, many thanks in advance

Hello first and good morning I hope someone can help me further here. For some time now my blinker arm on the steering wheel doesn’t want to be as right as it should. Think that he has a shadow somewhere. If I try to blink to the left that sounds like a lamp is broken. I jerk a little about it then things go without problems. Before the discussion starts now: Check your pears: THE BIRN ARE IN ORDER!!!! It’s the blinker arm. Now my problem is how do I get the airbag from the steering wheel without flying right through my rear window! I just wanted to see if the arm is broken now or just dirt is sitting behind it. I hope someone can help me here. It’s really annoying.
