Hi I have a 99" Arosa and evry time i start the car it tends to struggle getting going. I have to hold the key for a good 3-4 seconds and push down on the accelarator to make sure it starts... Sometimes if it fails to start on the first time it takes a good 6-7 seconds from turning the key to...

Looking into lowering Emilys arosa and getting it a bit more solid as it tends to roll a lot at the sight of a corner. not looking at coilovers, shocks and springs will be fine. can anyone post pics with how much and what make you have lowered. many thanks guys and girls steve

Seein as there's talk of a new Arosa I thought i'd start a thread and see wat people would like. We'll probably see a concept or proto type in Geneva next year. Here's some pics..

Hi Gang, My missus's 1999 (pre face lift) 1.0 Arosa has recently decided to no longer switch on the courtesy light when the driver's door i open - works fine for the passenger door. It is the very basic trim version with no central locking or electric windows - ie manual locking on both...

Hi guys, Some of you will know me anyway, but my Cupra is going to be a full track car, so need something else. So hopefully going to look at an Arosa TDI tomorrow, is there anything common i should look out for on these? Are there any major issues with the Arosa overall as well? after...

I'm mystified. I am changing my cambelt and decided to change the tensioner and roller. The tensioner is "off centre" so rotating it varies the extent to which it presses on the belt. Is it simply the central nut that stops the tensioner slackening off when its mounted ie the tension of...

Hi all, My partner has an Arosa with around 40k on the clock. The clutch bite point has got quite high in recent months. Is it self adjusting or likely to be up for replacement? I have notice there is a rattle from the release bearing recently too so that can also be changed. Thanks.

Hi All, just got hold of a 16v Arosa slightly worn but fun all the same. I have a few problems to sort out though. 1. what is error code P013A? The Management light came on so I called the RAC and they found this error with no text explanation. The light went out again when I chagned the...

Thought it was about time to get some pics up of my Mk1 Arosa Sport Here it is the day we picked it up: First modification was some Team Dynamics Monza (I think) 15" alloy wheels in black: Next was some Apex 40mm lowering springs:

Hey guys im new here and just bought a 1998 arosa!! I love the car but it has some issues, the clutch is squeaky and the guy i bought it off said he had a new one fitted. The gearbox is pretty weird and he said he had a new one fitted aswell. The passenger side wingmirrors broke and i need a new...

No seriously, there is a sledgehammer next to it right now, and I'm sorely tempted to take my frustrations out then scrap it! Anyways I got a W reg 1.0 Arosa, since I bought it back in April its had no end of problems, and no one seems to know how to fix it, so................. Started off...

Hi all, can any of you more knowledgeable people tell me if most Arosa parts are interchangeable with the Lupo, except of course obvious bits that are specific to either? Thanks RC
