Category: VW Lupo Forum

Hello, I’m new here and I’m not very familiar with engine technology either. I have a problem with my Lupo, he has now about 170000 km on it and has always run flawlessly up to now. Recently, a power drop of the car occurs at very irregular intervals after more or less driven kilometers. He drives hardly more 120Kmh on straight routes and he normally drives a lot faster. He starts to jerk down below 2000U/m and also has problems with the restart, the r engine sounds different too. It’s funny if I keep standing and the engine off and off again everything is OK again. Before I bring it to the workshop I wanted to be smart here, then if a friend could fix it. I found nothing similar here. Thank you in advance, Greeting Alex

Hello, I made a mistake and unfortunately only noticed it now. I have a Lupo Oxford, BJ 2002 recently and have refilled a little 10 W 40 oil. I don’t know exactly what was in it before, the note was not more legible. Apparently I should have taken 0 W 30 or 5 W 30. I drove about 1500 km with it. Is that very bad? What can I do now? And another question: I only got a key and I want to have a spare key made. ZV I did not. But there is no problem. And somehow, that you need to copy such a number. Is that in the vehicle license? How expensive is that? Should I go directly to VW? Thank you!

Hi ! My Lupo Bj. 99 55kw petrol, probably got a sports filter installed, at least the previous owner claimed that. The engine is also very loud. Well and the suit is not without especially the engine sound. Unfortunately, the Lupo consumes about 10 liters that is not normal. I make the sport air filter responsible as an evildoer !!??! Or do you have a different opinion !?!? I would like to rebuild it. Question How? And where can I get a standard air filter cash? The air filter box in the engine compartment is also hard to reach !?!? Would I be happy about help. Thank you very much Genious

Hello I have been driving a Lupo GTI 6 gear with 125 hp (standard) for about 1 year. I have to say that I cannot explain the acceleration data from other contributions. The following tests were carried out. Audi A4 1.8T 150PS (8.3sec. 0-100) Audi A3 1.8T 150PS (8.2sec. 0-100) Mini Cooper S DigiTec 195PS (7.2sec 0-100) Porsche Boxter 220PS (7.3sec 0-100) Mercedes C320 (7.4sec 0-100) all factory specifications! Compared to the top cars, the Lupo Gti goes up to 80 better, from 80 onwards, the boxer pulls off. r away (OK also up to 80 one does not pull off the boxter, but it also does not come by), the mini goes only from 100 and the Audis go only up from 170 better. We better not talk about BMW, they are all together slowly at least at 80-100km/h, there look even the 325i/330d/525d/530d/525i/730i pale against it. I can only say that BMW should change the acceleration data in their brochures. So up to 80km the LUPO is the hammer and the whole with lavish 125hhhhhhs !!SUPER!! On the Aut obahn ab 120 is it already different, since you have to switch back, otherwise you can not even follow the 100 HP TDI fraction. Therefore I do not understand why so many in articles write the GTI is so good on the highway, of course it runs over 200, but that takes. As said up to 80/90 km/h 1 and 2 gear are the HAMMER!! Consumption cozy 6,8l normal 7,2l fast 8-9,5l What is your opinion?

Hello guys! I wanted to save my fun car for the winter and to buy a economical, sustainable car for work. First I looked around for Smart ́s but according to many reports they absolutely don ́t keep at all. I now came to the final conclusion a 1.0 Lupo and wanted to tell you about your experiences regarding durability. Especially with BJ 1998 because I have something in my eye! 🙂 Has already over 10000KM. There are many engine damage here. in the forum?? Do I have to pay attention to any recall actions? There was something to freeze??? Or??? I am grateful for everything! If someone wants to get rid of his well-kept, send a PM. Will spend up to approx. 5500 EUR! Greetings Daniel

Hello dear Lupo driver, for about 2 months my friend is proud owner of a Lupo new car 1.4 – 60 hp. In general she is very happy with the car. Since she drives the Lupo she complains about the braking performance of the vehicle. Today I drove the vehicle myself once to the test and was shocked at how bad this small car braked. I am perhaps spoiled by my Volvo something about the braking performance of this vehicle a is that normal with the Lupo? P.S. the Lupo has meanwhile travelled 1500 km. Greeting from HH Willy

Hello everyone, as an old OPEL driver I went foreign last June. I drove a 1.4 Lupo and was thrilled by the small box. Unfortunately, the 75 HP but had a Sanella suspension, buttery soft so that I almost put it on the side in the first brisk curve. But since then I like the Lupo and maybe want to buy one. I think about 75 HP up there. Would like to have some different tips about the box. Like e.g. maintenance, workshop frequency, consumption h. Of course I would prefer the 100 HP Lupo or the GTI, which is beyond good and financial. So, guys, say something about the 1.4 HP Lupo and give me tips on how to get to the Wolf Club. Thanks already in advance.

Hello I would also like to make a little sound in my LUPO, would only need a few tips. I want a system with ventilated front speakers and rear sub, both over power stage. I want to put the sub in the spare wheel hole, who can give me tips? Where is it best to build the power stage if you want to get the girlfriend’s handbag in the trunk at least? I look forward to answering Mfg Megarichie

Hi!! Can I turn the control box of the 1.4L 100 HP 16V on my Lupo 1.4L 75 PS 16V?? What’s the difference with the engines??# Or is it just so easy??? Please help me!! cu Front

Moin, I’m back and with a new problem, since I’ve been having the problem for a long time with the errors of airbag resistance value too large and steering angle sensor defect, I now come to my question my grinding ring(part number: 6N0959654A) is over and a new part is relatively expensive, because I know that you can’t talk about the installation and building of such things here, my question is whether someone knows a cost-effective alternative, such as someone who has one over and possibly gives it off cheaply or someone who can repair this grinding ring for less than 200 €, I would be very grateful.
