Hello ,
I'm new on this forum .Im from Romania so please excuse my broken english.I recently bought a vw Lupo 3l with 222000 km on board.I read all that i could find about 3l cars but i still have some issues finding some answers about things like :
1.When i open the door the hydraulic pump doesn't start .It starts only when i put the ignition on , i wait for about 20 sec ,time in which i hear the pump working on different tones ,after i start the car .
Note: i can start the car after 5 seconds even if the pump is still running after 1 night standing . If i open the door the light appears on so the door switch is good.Is it normal for the pump not to start with the door open ?
Also is it normal for the hydraulic pump to start every 30 seconds if i leave the ignition on ? If i stop the car for 10 min , if i wanna start the car i can hear the pump running , not for 20 sec but like 5 too 10 seconds .
With the car off i can switch 5 to 6 times before the pump starts.I don't see any leaks
Hydraulic level is ok , i checked the level with the pressure accumulator unscrewed .
One more problem that ill try to describe is this .Changing gear up like 1 2 3 4 its ok and it sounds natural but when downgrading ,the car makes strange sounds like its trying brake the motor mounts , which are new , and i can hear some rattling noise too , and from time to time like a resort sound.All the procedure for the clutch has been done the value is 1.86 ,Gear Actuator Adaptation also creep adaptation . also when im cruising in eco ,gliding whiteout gas pedal pressed i can hear a grinding noise. I have a feeling that the clutch don't discing fully or something .
PS i ll try a new adaptation for the clutch since the vw guys loosen only the first nut and didn't press the brake pedal to see if the values are staying.
