elajf1 Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) Make: VWModel: LupoMOT: Dec 2012TAX: June 2012Engine size: 1.4 (100bhp)Fuel type: PetrolDescription:We have owned this from 32,000 miles and it has been my wifes commuting car, pretty much all motorway miles it now has 136,000 on the clock. Totally stock, no mods at all except a remote central locking kit. Most of you will know the common faults with Lupo sports, this has had them and they have all been fixed properly. I have a mountain of receipts, here is a bit of an overview:VW Service history up to 70KIndependent garage and serviced by me after that.Cambelt - always changed on time, last one was at just over 100kPedal box - reaplced FOC by VW (long thread on the forum about that) it has been faultless ever since.Exhaust replaced with stock VW system a couple of years backDrivers side window regulator replacedDoor check straps replacedEngine temp sensor replacedRocker cover gasket replaced. New brembo discs and pads all round fitted two weeks agoClutch replaced at around 80kClutch cable replacedBoth handbrake cables replaced two weeks ago. Firestone's fitted on the back, vradasteins on the front with good treadFront wheel bearings replaced last Christmas along with ABS sensor on one wheel, rear ABS sensor replaced last month. New windscreen being fitted on Monday. Without blowing my own trumpet I have really looked after this car and intended to keep it (hence all the recent expense) but we have outgrown it a little and had a too good to turn down offer on a BMW 1 series. I have probably missed lots off that list but those are the main things. I will be getting it MOT'd this week so it will be ready to go.Only niggles: A few little stone chips, the heater switch has stopped working on setting 2 but works on all others (resistor needs replacing). Some kind person in the last week has decided to run a shopping trolley down the nearside rear 1/4 panel, I need to photograph the scratch, I think I should be able to restore a fair amount of it. Any Questions please ask, probably best to PM me as I don't check the forum everyday. Cheers, Adey. £1500Location: Torrington, Devon Edited December 3, 2011 by elajf1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
