  • Manual gearboxes, which oil type ALL u. ANV, 1999-2001

    There were no clear answers either about google. Does anyone know which types of transmission oil were fed into the gears of the ALL or ANV in the years 1999/2001? 1. Was the VW G 501 50 used at that time? 2. Is this still valid today? 3. Or is there a new specification from VW? 4. If yes- what is it? 5. Should there be a new specification of VW- is it equivalent to VW-? the VW G 501 50 (so only a renaming)? I would be pleased to answer the questions 1-5. Thank you already once and Many Greetings quali

  • Help with exhaust warning lamp VW Lupo 1.0 AUC

    Hello dear Forem members, I have a huge problem and am at the end with my Latin. I or my workshop have been doing the problem for a few months. Dates of my Lupo: 1.0 liter. 50 HP motor code: AUC, year6/2001, km:149000 Up to now the following parts have been renewed: Ignition coil/Zündkabel/Zündkerzen/AGR valve/Lambdasonde in front of Kat/Rosselklappe completely disassembled and cleaned. After about 350 km drive then suddenly on this “scheiss” lamp again. I am in despair. has already cost me several hundred euros. Does anyone still have any advice what could be now ??? LG Peter

  • Sell Lupo 3L

    Hello, I want to sell my little Lupo 3L soon. Actually I love the car above all, but with my children it is also slowly too small as a 2nd car. The car is very well cared for (Bj2001), checkbook, has climate, seat heating, glass sliding roof, electric mirrors, electric windows etc., but there are maintenances on: – 180,000 km inspection – timing belts – possibly water pump – tires shut down – drum brake back right worn – TüV What would you do now achen: First let all repairs be done, then to the TüV and then sell as an impeccable car for 3000 – 4000 euros? If the repairs together cost about 2000 euros, then it would be a profit of “only” 1000 – 2000 euros. If I now let nothing be done, then maybe I also get 1000 – 2000 euros – or what do you mean? I am indiscriminate. If a “bastler” can do all this cheaply, maybe it would be better not to let anything be done… How do you do that? sweet

  • ABS lamp and hand brake lamp flicker and sound 3x warning tones (peep)

    Hello everyone, I have now for about 10 weeks the following problem, the ABS lamp and the handbrake light flicker briefly or up to 2 sec. on and 3 warning tones (peep) sound. On 30 km distance this can already occur up to 5x. It happens in various driving situations (rain, dry, 120 km/h, brake, also when starting, …) In different workshops no error could be read out. Brake fluid level is in order, plug connections and sensors were by a a workshop obviously checked, ABS function in order. The error does not occur during workshop test drives. Now indiscriminately replace parts I did not intend to. Who can give me tips for further troubleshooting. Greeting Andreas

  • Car radio for Lupo

    Good morning, as one can easily recognize by my nickname I am a woman and still want to exchange the defective radio from my Lupo itself. Yes I know women and technology but if one does not change anything it will never be better. Is in this huge VWForum a man who dares to guide me a little or to stand by with tips & tricks would be very friendly. As soon as I know which data and details will be needed I will set these here. Would like to an MP3 car radio can be installed at the Lupo and what should I really notice? Also via PN are read and answered and if it works a success photo. Thanks already for reading it… Lupine

  • Timing belt change 1.0 ANV engine

    Hello municipality, I would like to briefly change the timing belt at my daughter’s Lupo. I have already found a few basic principles such as removing the engine suspension on the right. But it is only that there is extremely little space between the belt disc and fender, that not even a buttoned ring wrench can be attached to the multi-tooth screw of the crankshaft. What do I need for special tools or how since you got to the bus screws of the belt disc? (Habe b but isher only looked in from above) Thank you in advance.

  • Detach AGR valve..fixed?

    Hello guys, have my AGR valve tested by shutting down and found that it is defective. (AKQ, 1.4) Now I want to expand and renew it. Unfortunately, I don’t get the pipe that goes to the throttle valve from the AGR valve. I can release the nut but at some point the thread is over and the pipe is still in it. Is there a special trick? Do I have to use violence? Who has removed the thing before? Thank you

  • Gas pump running at door opening??!!

    Hello you, I noticed last time at the Lupo of a colleague that when you open the driver’s door after longer standing time the petrol pume runs briefly, the sense is clear to me, only how is it controlled? because if you close the door again and open it again it no longer runs.. I would be interested in this complex technique in Lupo greetings

  • Air conditioning whistles really loud!!!

    So that I don’t have anything to do I want to bother you again. My air conditioner actually works quite reasonably only happens whenever I stop or stand that it starts to whistle/ howl/jaul. I think it also comes direction front passenger area, behind the cockpit. If I turn off the climate then it doesn’t immediately wave, sounds like pressure is dropped like a lock, is really annoying. Sometimes it just happens during the ride. from the blower stage. Achso is a manual one and was refilled two years ago, also have no fluid loss I know that I can not do it myself anyway, but would like to give the VW man a tip so that the not 2 Studen is looking for at now 80 € hourly wage. Can this be any bearing or fan bulge????? For 1000 € repair costs I like to listen to this for 3 years!!!!!
