I got a 70,000km aluminum door model Lupo GTI. The Lupo had a fault error in the ECU, and a leak from the rear spoiler caused water to collect in the battery pan in the boot room. I used VCDS to clear the error, charge the battery, change the oil, adjust the air pressure and test drive. The drive shaft boots broke, grease splattered, and the engine check lamp turned on again. I identified all the faulty parts of the car and ordered the parts.

Hi all, I was originally on here a couple of years ago with my 2005 silver Lupo GTi, I sold that and picked up an Abarth 595 Comp. I loved the Abarth, though it looked GREAT and was fairly quick, 200bhp but I'd always missed the Lupo! I always said I'd buy another one, so here we are, sold the Abarth and picked up this beauty recently. Its a grade 4B with 94KMs on the clock. Looks in great condition, and nice and original (Except the wheels which AFAIK are 16" enkei alloys) I had planned on changing them anyway but would have liked some bathurst for a while! The plan is........to copy Claytons Lupo while maybe adding some differences 😁 No point in denying it, I love that car, the attention to detail and the upgrades are top quality! But first things first, a good service when it arrives, oils' filters, time belt etc the after that, address the ridiculous looking ride height and wheels. Still undecided about which ones but I've 6-8 weeks to decide! So any suggestions are welcome. Shane

Head is done: Rest of the parts will be ordered this weekend. Onwards!
