no smoke coming from the back. every 8k km i fill about 400ml of oil. havent checked the pipes..will do soon. oil is VW SUPER PLUS 5W-40

the only mods i have are a remap by TCM and janspeed exaust system.the rest is all stock.

so my lupo gti has 154k km in dash. from 130k i noticed that if I threw the rev over 5k there is a smell of burning oil coming inside the car.from what i saw on other threads, it could be the stem seals. any other ideas??

yea i know..at the time i buyed the gti i didn't know the correct tyre size for the lupo, a mate said that those are the correct size.

so, it's time to change the tyres and i need to buy some new winter shoes for my gti.i currently have 14 " wheels, and as far as i know, vw recommends 185/55 tyres. the problem is that this size is not so popular here in romania.do you know what size i need so that it won't affect performance? because i made the mistake 1 year ago by buying 205/50/r15 tyres and the acceleration dropped from 8.5,8-6 to 10.3,10,5 sec thanks

guys, i sincerelly thank you for your reply's.. for the moment i'm in a vacation with another car.. mini-man-dan @ the remap is for a standard lupo gti.. RobG @ i have 14" winter wheels already, just they are winter tyres.. Defcon5 @ i haven't but damn i will do it next week just to see my real specs Lal B3N @ i have timed me with my phone and my watch ( a casio one). let's say that i may had some slipping at start, but not so much i was shocked to see how much distance when he got on 2nd and 3rd, comparable tho the 2.2 170bhp bmw 320 which i owned very easily thanks again for your replies even if i'm not from uk:P. i was thinking that the engine may have bad compression, as i am the third owner of the car but at 140k km...donno..i'l post back the results from the dyno..some friends told me that the revo remap is way better than the tcm turbo.. for some videos, check my videos (hope i won't get banned ) ) : http://www.youtube.com/user/razerman4ever?feature=mhee#p/a/u/1/UqQN8ZeX9Fw

the engine is the avy one.. i think 2 that the tyres are too big, guess i'l be going on some 14" thinking on getting the kamracing de-cat manifold http://www.kamracing.co.uk/volkswagen/vw-lupo/exhaust/exhaust-manifold/vw-lupo-1-6-16v-gti-kam-racing-manifold-cat-pipe.html any noticeably gain as they say? i've maxxed it out several times in the straight line and as said, couldn't get lower than 9.9.

so, the car is a 6 speed gearbox with 140k km on clock, the clutch is new and has 17k km. the service has been done last week (oil, air filter, oil filter). i've done a remap this winter from tcm turbo and they siad the gain is about 10 hp and 15nm. couldn't get 0-100 km/h from standstill less than 9.9 sec. and i've tried several times with and whithout esp. the road wasn't slippy or anything else. and i've got my ass kicked by a a3 1.9tdi 170bhp ). i'm running on 15" dunlop sp sport 01 205/50/r15. could the flywheel be the problem or anything else? thanks.

ok. so i have my gti with janspeed full exhaust system fitted for around 6 moths. i am planning on getting the kamracing exhaust manifold (see link below) with the 100 cell catalytic converter. my questions are: 1. will the manifold and converter fit to my janspeed exhaust system (full system).also, will the exhaust suffer from the faster smoke evacuation? 2. beside the gain increase, any other differences? like sound or else?? thanks http://www.kamracing.co.uk/index.php/volkswagen/vw-lupo/exhaust/exhaust-manifold/vw-lupo-1-6-16v-gti-kam-racing-manifold-cat-pipe.html

hi all. was wondering if one of you has a picture of the clublupo sticker, want to print one and put it on my gti . thanks

hi all. on the lupo gti, does the esp button turns to yellow when its deactivated? mine stays only red, regarding if it is deactivated or not. if it is, what could be the problem? thanks.

hi all. i came today over a strange problem. i first knew that my windows would not roll up via remote lock, just by manual locking. today i was playing with the remote lock (lock/unlock) and after a 8 sequences i locked the car and saw that the windows rolled up, but not till top. after unlocking i saw that the windows rolled down, but again, not fully. just like in this video : . i have an oem remote lock. anyone knows why the windows on't roll up fully?

maybe a vagcom check to see if anything is wrong??

yea..i would be a choice

i had a prolem too when i bought my gti (6-speed) the first gear was totaled,so i decided to recondition it.at the service i found that the second gear would die soon, so i payed for both gears. 2 weeks ago, the sixth gear would crack to.at high revs, i would not enter.took it back to service and the guy told me that the fixed train, (not sure if this is in english) was damaged at the right side where the screw was mounted. i do have that thing in my car.i'l took a photo tomorow and show it. also the train that came , was thick that the other and had a 10th screw, not a 8th one.srry for my bad english ). so it seems to be a problem see you the gearbox at the most gti's till 03(the guy told me that).cheers Alex
