Hi boys or maedels, please help me! I like the lupin as a GTI! At the moment I still have a Golf IV 1.9 PD “on the leg”. But he has to go away!!! Of course this is also a world-class car, would drive him also but I am young and long for sportiness! Maybe exchange with a forty-year-old family head… So, dear friends, sell me your lupos! Or tell me where I get one (please only insider, autoscout is known to me). bussi GolfRolf82

Hello, after the fuel prices will slowly settle in with the demands of the Greens and my age is a bit old now I plan to buy a used Lupo 3l. At 60000km a year he calculates himself slowly. Up to now I always drove Nissan, would also like to stay with it, but such a economical car builds only VW. Therefore I have some questions: 1. As so far Japan drivers the most important question: What about the reliability? Golf IV and Co were No highlights of German quality. Is this – hopefully not – also true on the Lupo? 2. Which year of construction is recommended? 3. When is the timing belt change due or other major repairs? And what are these costs, especially compared to “normal” Lupos? 4. Is it only automatic? 5. Are the 3 liters realistic and at what speed? 6. What does it look like with long-distance comfort? Thanks in advance.

Moin, actually comes from the Golf2 forum, but I am currently using my brother’s lupo (remodeling phase at the golf). Is a 1l Lupo Benz. with 37kw, year 11/1998 The service is due at 90tkm (91600 km). Do the timing belts and the tensioning roller have to be made at 120 or 90? Unfortunately, I have no documents to look at. If this operation has been done nice and often on golf engines from 1.8l, it is similar simple or there is something special to consider at the Lupo. a single lupo driver

Hello Wanted to buy me at my Lupo 55 kW the lower rear spoiler of 74 kW with the exhaust cut-out in the middle. In addition also the exhaust of the 74 kW with the oval tailpipe in the middle. Now the question: Does the end pot also fit to my Lupo? Is the rear bumper of the 74 kW 2 part so lower spoiler and bumper? Or is it a part? At the friendly one has told me there is the spoiler not individually but only the whole bumper as a part. Please help me further!

Hello dear Lupo-driver.. the winter time starts now slowly again.. Sometimes one curses “him” because it gets so slowly warm, possibly also the heating takes too long to make the windows clear. the brakes qietschen through the humidity, the winter wheels an optically not like, the petrol pump becomes louder again etc.. but hey, he drives and does not let us down.. at least not me, but that is probably because of the good care, because everyone needs sometimes caressing units.. :`) You get a parking space and it’s just fun to drive it.. in this sense I greet you and in the super weather you could wash the Lupo again and suck out.. Some specimens, at least in HH look really bad..

Hello. Got the following problem: So just wanted to disassemble the tire at the back but didn’t go. I could drag like I want the tire didn’t go down… That I’ve solved all 4 screws. (To prevent the stupid comments ) I think that the rim is rusted somehow with the drum brake. Or whatever… Alu doesn’t rust anyway. I see something white anyway. OK if that’s it wouldn’t be rust. Anyway, I can’t get the bike off. We Is there a hint for me?

Hello, my car got out of the workshop on Friday after an accident without fault. I saw right away that the rack has a difference in weight compared to the rest of the vehicle. The VW man meant this is normal when it is painted in the workshop. And besides, I would have to give it anyway as an accident car at the purchase. Do I have to accept that anyway? That can’t be that I have to carry the SChaden now just because they are not able to mix the right pieces (VW-Kommen tar: That’s just different from when you painted it from the big vat in the factory. Is it also normal that you don’t have to sign, that you took over the vehicle in a perfect condition and the VW workshop simply settles with the insurance? I’m totally mad at the workshop… 🙂

At the front I am not sure because the steering behavior would have influenced you there experiences !!?? Is there anything to consider !? Determine company !? Do you even have links to individual dealers !? I know questions about asking but I’ll tell you in advance !! BOB here a few pics !!

Since I really had to change the pressure tank for Lupo 3l, it was a bit of hydraulic oil. I then got a bit of hydraulic oil refilled by FEBI. Link : https://www.autodoc.se/febi-bilstein/788020 That was about 3-4 months ago, since then my Lupo always shuts down on the highway. At outside temperatures under 20 degrees I can easily drive 100 km/h before the engine shuts down and the car just continues rolling. At temperatures from 25 degrees I can only drive max. 80. Slimm it will be from 30 degrees and above, I can then drive a maximum of 60 -70. If I drive too hard over a street boomer anyway, then since the summer semester I often ride on the highway, and now it has been really warm to do the same thing in the first months, because the outside temperature was under 15 degrees clear and I was driving anyway only in the city traffic, but since I have been busy driving on the highway, and since I was living in Sweden it has been a lot of trouble.

Hello, would like to introduce me first. My name is Jens am 47 years old and I live in the south of Hamburg. I signed up here in the forum because we want to buy a car for our daughter in the near future and I hope to get help with the upcoming questions. Now our daughter has already looked out a little bit. It is supposed to be a black lupo with folding sliding roof. Motorization 60 / 75 hp. Now I’ve been browsing the forum a little bit, but not really found what I’m looking for. What do we have to pay particular attention to when buying? Are there typical weak points? What is with rust and where does the brown plague like to occur? The budget is about 4,000,— Euro. Thank you for your help in advance.
