Flat rate cost to replace lock cylinder on passenger door; 2002 VW Lupo

Sound like different problems. In the matter of your rear passenger door, you may have a loose or broken cable which connects the handle to the release mechanism.
As for the driver door, you may have a bad cylinder or complete door door latch.

Replace the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor. ECT sensor is placed in the right back side of the cylinder head on 2002 VW Jetta 1.9 TDI. See picture below:



Please do rate my response. Thanks!

Besides the cost of the part, they have a flat rate charge per hour. So to have an idea, ask how much time is allotted for this job that VW recognizes it should take to fix it then you multiply the time to the flat rate.

Hi
If its like most VW's it will work on a cable and pulley system I had the same problem with my sons VW Lupo a few weeks ago and let me tell you they are a nightmare to get back in if your not good around cars I wouldn't strongly recommend you take it to someone who knows what their doing
I hope this helps

Check the recall from the manufacture

This means your door lock cylinder needs to be replaced. It is a 1 hour job and the cylinder costs around $180. Thanks

The left front door lock is faulty and needs replacing. Quite a common fault costs about £200 to fix approx . Regards

does it work in the passenger door

The hunting and clicking is caused by a stuck vapor canister purge valve. The valve is on a vacume line. When it gets stuck open too much air enters the engine at idle or low rpm. This will cause the engine to hunt and stall as soon as any load is put on it if you do not rev it hard. The engine will over-run when coming to a stop and probably stall. It can come and go putting the chack light on. The quick fix is to just un-plug the solenoid. facing the enginebay it is located on the left hand side just infront of the suspention mount it is half balck half blue on every lupo i have seen. unpluging it will mean the car is driveable again but the check light does come on. It is 100% safe as long as nothing else happens that goes undetected because the light is already on. The part is about £70/80 from VW,  they may or may not know what you are talking about but i would not bother going to VW. The part is easy to find at a scrapyards if there are Lupos / Polos.  A number of other VAG cars share the part as well.  Any other problems come along to clublupo.co.uk 

Hi

If this is the 3 cylinder Lupo then it could very well be the timing chain getting noisy.

Its around about a 3 to 4 hour job if I remember rightly, so at a VW main dealer labour costs would be over £200 ($400) plus around about £120 ($240) or so for the parts (chain and tensioner).

These are English prices though, so although I've put dollars in brackets, prices may still differ.

Just as a matter of interest, the main cause of chain stretch is lack of servicing, oil changes to be exact. If the service schedule is kept up then a timing chain will last several hundred thousand miles.

Very best regards
