Hi guys, I bought a radio remote control for my friend’s lupo at ebay and would like to install it now. Can someone tell me where I find the best + and – in the footroom of the driver’s side without having to dismantle the panels? There are three plugs with many cables behind the cover at the bonnet opener, does any of you know which color + and what mass is? Normal red and brew I somehow didn’t find there. Rather red-brown and so. Thank you sc hon once for your help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, I really have to ask you something, even if it sounds strange. I’ve been driving 3L for some time now and now I seem to have become too stupid to refuel after more than 20tsd km. I now have 2 times at 2 different gas stations that this automatic stopper at the pump has failed. Normal fuelled: tap taken and put into the tank, lever pulled, fixed with the small hook (or whatever that is) let go and run ….. Normally the diesel inflow stops automatically when the tank is full. It happened to me two times that the stopper failed and the diesel is sprayed in all directions from the tank. How do these stoppers work???? Am I too stupid after more than 6 years of refueling from today to tomorrow, do I only pech or can I lie on my car/tank??? I hardly dare to fill up my car anymore because I don’t feel like such a mess Does anyone have an idea?? confused greetings

Hello VW municipality, at my wife’s Lupo, the interior light no longer works when you open the driver’s door. The passenger door when you open it is perfect. Now I have already searched for the contact, unfortunately without success. Can anyone tell me where to sit??? Is a Lupo 1.0 BJ februar 2002. Thanks already. Servus Tom

Hello together, Have at my 3l Lupo serious, because probably cost-intensive, problems and although the following kind. A few weeks ago the ABS and ESP symbol flashed. This fault was fixed by replacement of the ABS control unit. Costs at that time around 900 €. Now, even when braking slightly, the ABS is active despite dry and clean road. In addition, the clutch then does not properly plug in again, therefore unnecessarily grinds. I then have to take the gas away. r friendly at VW thinks that this is now really cost-intensive, that means that I have to reckon with about 2000 €. I can’t really imagine that.

In advance, I just wanted to vacuum my car and waterproof leather for a short time. Well, and then those rear lights (Cambridge) hit me in the eye again. Are really chic, still, but this orange-shining blinker story. I had checked this before, but knew that it was not done with pears alone. There are caps in the rear lights that make the white light bulb orange. But these caps are in the closed part of the rear lights. 1. Possibility: The hole I wanted to change as little as possible, so I cut this cap with a soldering iron and then removed it through the existing opening. Then Osram Diadem in and well. Look really better, in my opinion. Of course only folds with the Cambridge lights, but they have some of you…. Then have a lot of fun doing it. Unfortunately, P.S. didn’t take any photos, took only 10 minutes after I knew how to do it. D The first lamp took longer because I had tried with a side cutter.

I’m so mad. a four-year-old 3L, always well maintained and inspected, and now, after 140000 km of gear damage. the nice lord of vw said I should bring him to slaughter right away. or repair it (2400 €). There would only be closeness of approx. 1000 Euro if I would buy a new VW. So first have it repaired, then buy a new one??? So much trouble with this actually great car. after 30,000 km the turbocharger was broken, only half the culant, 800 Euro own participation. After 130,000 the clutch was replaced, 600 euros was paid. And now the drive. I feel at the VW workshops actually always hammered over the ear. I’m not really sure that the clutch at 130,000 and the gearbox at 144,000 were different. Both were expressed by the fact that he did not find the gears anymore… And now the very best thing: Actually, the car was for inspection when they found the gear damage. Before that, he was still driving. We still had to pay for the inspection… 190 euros. A pile of scrap with new air filter and fresh oil… I don’t know if it’s going to be another VW. so much trouble.

hi was once so net and I made a lupo gti video that is only a short cut out and answers the question if it is fast. video is 11mb Big shows lupo on land road from 20-190 km/h ( thanks to winter tires ) video

Hello, have been driving my 50hp Lupo BJ.99 for 3 years now and would like to say goodbye to the 13 inch wheels. At ebay I found the following: ATS 7.0×16 inch rims including tires NEW for 550€. In addition a few questions. Does this fit under the Lupo without further troubleshooting work or should I rather look for 15 inch rims? What about the mounted tires of a company called “Wanli” to hold? In the auction also says: “In addition, with TÜV-certificates, registration in the vehicle papers e What would that cost? Would be my first wheel purchase, so the questions. Hope you can help me… MfG, Benni
