HELP HELP HELP!!!!! After a change of timing belt with my LUPO GTI this is now not working properly. lt. workshop should have no compression on the 3rd and 4th cylinder. Now we have broken down the head and removed all valves. Are all in order! The head has not. Also block is fine. He ran before the change of timing belt also great! What’s there? A speci meant that the steering belt of the camshafts was probably twisted by a tooth. Thus the valves were open stan the two cylinders (3.4.) and he has shot into it. Just at the stand was quite bad and had misfires. (Reinschiessen in den Luftfilter) Does someone know any other things that could be it? Ask for most urgent answers!!! Thank you!

Last night I dismantled my bumper behind and stuck our loop links with an accident The repair really looks like “fucked” and the rust also starts to bloom… Since we are already very attached to the loop and in the color silver and DIESEL in the vicinity is not really much on the market I don’t know what to do What do the motor talkers say? What would you do? Return? Or discount and then expert Repari Is it possible to have it grown?

Hello guys, I wanted to have an FK coilover suspension installed in my 3L lupo in the summer. I’ve often seen that in the parts reports of some brand suspensions it says that these are suitable for the 6X as well as the 6E. Can that be? I ask because I hear again and again that the ascent points on the 6E are different from the 6X, Is that true or can it be that one can build a suspension in the 6E then, which also fits in the 6X? Thank you for your help. Greeting, Jan

Hello… since I could finally make a decision to my rims…, I need a few more tires… Can you recommend something to me by chance? Should we: 195/45/15… Thought about the Dunlop SP 9000…but what is e.g. with Marbor or Pirelli…!?? Since I absolutely don’t know I have to ask… Thanks already LG Jenny

The fuses look OK so far; the water pump still works. And at the front everything is OK (permanent, interval, water). To look back to the right, I wanted to remove the cover – anyway, because the trunk light has been shining permanently for some time now. Now I have a problem. Here in the forum I found the tip that you can see that the light is always on the right side. If I loosen the two screws and pull them out, the lower part of the cover will dissolve without any problems; there are 2 holding plugs that will dissolve immediately. But there is nothing moving up (to the disc)! From the position of the plastic noses, which I can still see, I would assume that you have to press towards the disc. But that alone it is not yet… Then I noticed that the wiping water not only has to be removed. the nozzle sprays out, but also out of the now semi-open cladding. Probably the water is then also the reason that the boot switch does not work properly anymore?! Questions: – Do I have to press the cover in a certain direction / rub it, push it somewhere or is there any other hot tip? – is the wiper motor switched over a separate fuse, or together with the water pump? – can I save anything as layman at all if there is water splashing out, o the wiper motor is usually so broken that I need a new one anyway? Unfortunately, this seems to be a common problem… Thank you for your help! mr

Wow, it’s done. I filled up the 600 km today. I didn’t even get to the tank with the last rest, was still not out of the red area. As already described. 95% highway, and traffic, weather and fatigue due to only 90-100 kmh. The first 50 km were even put back with speed 140-170, so would be even more in it. Today I have used 38,34 liters, so also this “additional tank”, but I do that for a longer time. I think, however, that you can do it. The fun factor: Well, these 600 km don’t have much fun, but it’s also fun to drive sparingly, normally I would have lost the tank in 400 km. To the vehicle condition: 185 winter bikes, climate off, light on, K&N mushroom on it. Let’s see how long I can tear myself together with this tank. Will probably not, especially the week the summer bikes come. So then bye. P.S. that were even at today’s fuel prices only 8 € to 10 0 km

hello people, I would like to buy a sports exhaust, but I don’t know which brand to buy. to choose from: JOM ->angular 2x80x90-> 187,63€ INXX ->angular 2x80x90-> 220,88€ Bosima -> about 2×75 -> 189€ so the execution is already more or less certain. what is interesting to me, however, is whether I need any adapters, so that the sports exhaust doesn’t shake or give any other noise of itself. hope you could advise me a little bit. mfg

hello, I saw at ebay aerotwins, but don’t get quite clever from the article description. do they fit on the 2002 lupo 3l and wipe them well?http://cgi.ebay.de/…mZ8021118561QQcategoryZ57384QQrdZ1QcmdZViewItem

MfG Daniel

Hello, after I have already registered here a few days I would like to throw my first post into the round. Also today I finally got my first Lupo 🙂 Had up to 2 weeks ago a Polo 6N which unfortunately became a victim of a tree. So the following: I was able to acquire a factory lupo, this was admitted to the plant and was later acquired by an employee there. Equipment-technically you can not complain there really everything is in (in principle di e complete Golf5 equipment. Also the car was equipped in the factory with a different chip and it goes off really powerful. Now I am curious what would be maximum in this engine ?? Has one of you experience with such toys and what speed was achieved ?? Just out of curiosity okay – – I did not have anything to do with the vehicle because I want to have more fun with it and I have that. Also I am spoiled because I had a mini for years with 150 HP – but the Lupo seems to be more powerful or I’m getting old.
