  1. Have to disagree on the Up! being an improvement on the Lupo sadly. I have a 2023 plate GTI with 2,700 miles on it, it was delivered with a broken passenger seat height adjuster, the drivers side window mechanism collapsed and the glass would pop out of the rubbers, rear suspension rattles, dashboard creaks, there is an annoying turbo wastegate noise every time you lift off (which I don't think is normal but I need to try another one to see really). Not to mention lack of one-touch windows, no backlit window and mirror switches, abysmal headlights and rubbish ventilation, no bonnet strut, hard plastic door cards etc. All this for £20k. It has a boot light though which you never got on a Lupo. I like the engine and it drives very well and is economical but it's annoying me too much for me to enjoy it at the moment.
  2. Last seen out in the wild in October...
  3. Fortunately they fail open; if the failed closed then the car would overheat which would be rather inconvenient.
  4. What size did you buy? I had trouble finding winter tyres in 205/45 or 195/45.
  5. Thermostat. Water should be 85 not 65 degrees
  6. Someone has installed that themselves. I don't believe it came from the factory like that
  7. Does anyone have a picture of a normal one for comparison?
  8. If you are refitting another 14 TDI engine why would you even tell them?
  9. Only difference is that strengthening bar inside it.
  10. The basic one they sell in France doesn't even come with a radio.
  11. Ok so with the discount code they come to £13.85. Rich you owe me £1.85...
