Category: VW Lupo Forum

Hello to the specialists, I stopped yesterday with my 3l Lupo, built in 1999, 92000km. No more gas. Was towed by the friendly ADAC employee to the VW workshop, which had the following diagnosis ready: Some switch no longer detects the rolling lever position. Are allegedly 2 switches that have to be changed. Costs 100 Euro for the switches and 460 Euro for the installation. But now comes the best thing about the history. The workshop can not garant A wonderful statement is not true… My question to you: Has someone already experienced something similar with his 3l, or does he know what is talking about here? Many thanks already in advance!!!

Hello motor friends, I have registered here today on your forum because I find the information about different cars very informative. I am not such a big car connoisseur, but it is time to look more closely into the matter so that I do not do anything wrong with my first car purchase. Well then: -My budget that is available to me will probably be 3000-500€. -And the car should be cheap in insurance and consumption. -min. 4/5 sitting I play with the thought of a Lupo but not to bring one under 75 ps, have thought so of the 1.4 16V also 1.6. GTI would definitely be too expensive. Which car would you recommend otherwise, what comes into question with the above criteria? Thank you for your answers, in advance

Hello dear community! I have recently informed myself a little bit about the GTI and have also found a quite good offer (as far as I can judge).. the dealer is 5 min. away from me and I inspected the car today, looks so far also quite good 😛 behind at the “skirt” under the trunk handle are easy traces of use to see (but is repaired meant the seller; new shock bar behind etc is attached). utz” on the outside of the door (driver/passenger), which unfortunately caused quite deep scratches in the door frame inside (will also be repaired and repainted)…This is as a kind of edge protection as you can buy from Louis etc. and then have to make hot with the hair dryer and mount on the corresponding edges etc. (you probably know). I think the previous owner has mounted this so that he doesn’t scratch the doors when getting in and out in the garage (that’s why h old in the inside, because the edge protection also brings a certain width with it ) In the inside he also looks good…The previous owner was a customer of this dealer and sorely drove with the car….40 years old the good lady (at least the statement of the dealer). I will take a test drive in 45 min. *joy* I will then drive to a workshop and put the car on the lifting platform and let me say what is not so good and if this really all The mechanic is a well-known one of me. Now I wanted to ask you what you think of this offer! As I said, it looks pretty good in my eyes, maybe there’s something to do at the price…but a second opinion is always better than a 😛 http://www.mobile.de/…/da.pl?… Thanks a lot in advance… Kuch3n

Hello people so I bought a lupo 2 weeks ago Year of construction 2001 75 hp 1.4 engine 54000 KM run only I feel the spriz consumption so much as I am already on reserve and I just drove 300 KM is normal or does he really consume so much that would be yes 10 liters per 100 KM that is not normal or ?

Hi to all! I noticed that the light at the lupo (my 1.4 tdi) is not very bright and the road does not light up well on the side… a colleague told me that he has built a 100w bulb in his audio…is not allowed,…but the light is much brighter than before and does not control anyone anyway. now I want to ask I can also install a stronger bulb instead of the allowed (I think H4 – 60W bulb) e.g. 100W. something else has to be changed or what m do you agree? thank you for your opinions and tips, gruss, max

Good day, I want to buy a car at the end of October and am looking for something at the moment. Through forums I came to the VW Lupo 3L, which I then found quite great then but on this forum, and then found the many mistakes of the car (often broken). Need the car to drive to school ( 20 km) and to work, so I thought why not buy a economical car? I then read that this car goes quite well with its 61 hp, because it is so easy but worth the Car ? Don’t want to go to the workshop once a year and then have it repaired. That’s why I would like to know it is worth buying a car like this or rather the normal Lupo or Polo, or maybe a golf? Because if I would buy a Lupo ( 80,000-100,000 km), do I still get far away with it? The car shouldn’t take a lot of petrol / diesel, that would be very important for me and it shouldn’t break quickly too. In the Lupo, 4 people fit into it? I haven’t found anything about it yet.

I have a question about this with flipkeys…I called several VW/Audi dealers the days and “informed” me a little bit. Unfortunately, all sellers have told me it is not possible, because a flipkey for a Lupo GTI is not provided. I have already tortured the search engine, but found nothing really informative. In one post I read that you could just take the key from the Golf 4 ?!. It should definitely still be on the radio. /to go, the look of the key is incidental…mainly it’s foldable 😛 Where do I get it now? Ebay and so on shouldn’t do any good…If there is something like this, I have to have something reprogrammed? How does it work? Hopefully someone will have it and can tell me something about it =) Thanks already…

Hello dear Lupo friends. Currently I drive a Golf 4 1.6 SR with 101 HP Since I have less income from next month, I wanted to switch to something cheaper. To the narrower selection I once put 2 cars, about which I would like to hear your opinion now. Which you would recommend to me etc… The one has 101 HP and will probably not be much cheaper than the Golf 4 or ? The other however only 50 HP .. weighs but also only 900kg… The question is, you get with it good v oran ??? What is the comfort of the rear and front of the interior for the occupants ? like the processing ? Here the two cars: [url=”http://www.mobile.de/…/da.pl?… “]www.mobile.de/cgi-bin/da.pl[/url] the other: www.autoscout24.de/Details.aspx thanks already

HI, I want to improve the sound of my Lupos ( 1L ). What brings a better sound an air filter or rear silencer. I don’t want both, since then a expensive Tüv take off due. Or am I misinformed.
