Title: Lupo rattly gearbox with clutch in??
Post by: robz on 16 April 2011, 12:36

Howdo all
The new lupo has a slight rattle when the clutch is engaged but goes with it disengaged...?
I'm thinking to bearing and rod maybe??
Is it the same as the mk3? Or more involved?
Or any ideas as to the cause?
Cheers peeps!!

There are 2 1.4 16v engines listed ANM and AFK for years 1999 and 2000.
Both require you to remove the gearbox to change the release bearing.

and when the box is out, split it and check the bearing on the end of the pinion shaft    they eat them
