OK Bought a cheap Arosa for my Son for a couple hundred pounds with a few faults I thought would be easy to fix, but apparently not as there appears to be no user maintenance manual readily available so hope I can get some help from here. Car only done 39K miles so wasn't expecting it to be anything major.
1. Engine ticks over at 500rpm and 1000rpm when started from cold. Engine light is on and reads as interrmittent power loss????
2. Its super slow, I know its only a 1.0 but surely it should be quicker than 26 seconds to 60 :confused: and maxes out at 80.
3. Both electric windows are dead, not even any relays can be heard clicking from switches despite swapping them round. At 39k they haven't lasted very long....
4. Passenger seat will not tip forward. Hoping to have a go at this over the next few days.
5. Weld has broken on door stay so taking it to work to get welded next week.
6. Cracked windscreen at bottom of screen. Are these easy to change as been qouyed £400 from autoglas which is more than I paid for the car:aargh4:
Cheers.
