  1. Did you ever get anywhere with this? I have just fitted a lupo sport manifold and throttle body to an AUA 1.4. its currently running like a dog at idle. i think i have an air leak somewhere but not checked out where yet. other than the idling issue the car is improved, revs a lot freer and makes a nice throaty noise now
  2. ah ok mate not to worry, sure i will get them in some how. like you said though i think the biggest challenge is going to be the top locking pin set up
  3. just wondering if there is any chance of getting some dimensions of the 'p' shape brackets holding the side of the rears in?
  4. Cheers dude, have to say i'm jealous of the Gti looked sick as you rolled past. yeah im game for this, im not ignorant to other veedubbers though just rarely see any as i don't really leave Swansea that much
  5. the yellow one you saw in gorseinon was me... went to take a turbo in to dave coe... ? that where you saw me?
  6. was the yellow lupo modified?
  7. Lol jizz in my pants was better though
  8. lol, cheers guys, numbers are really stacking up now
  9. hi all This may seem a bit random, but I am a post graduate student currently writing up my dissertation and need a little input from you guys. There are two main reason's why I am asking the members of club Lupo to help: 1. I am already a member of the forum 2. I know that Lupo's attract a good age range of owners and I want a broad range of people to fill out the survey as this should lead to a nice range of results I know the idea of a survey will have put many people off but I assure you it is short.. very short. all tickbox bar one question and would benefit my research greatly. Here is the link to the Questionnaire http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/CMJ75Z3 Thanks for your time.... Steve
  10. ah think i have seen it before, but i wasnt in the lupo when i have seen it before. normally in a sainsburys van lol
  11. ah cool whats your lupo like? i have probs seen it about as have clocked a few others in swansea.....
  12. yeah living in swansea whilst at uni. you local?
  13. that would be me will find it there a lot as i work there
  14. cheers guys the bathursts are my spare wheels, i think they suite the 6n2 perfectly
  15. thought i might update this with a few new pics if anyone is interested few of my mates cars and a few arty shots just for the lols
  16. funny you should mention that, my friend with the green 6n2 in the pics said the exact same thing about the door handles. might give it a try
  17. hey all, havent posted on here for ages. thought i would share a few pics of how the lupo is currently looking. few plans in the next few months: change the rear lights, roll the rear arches, drop the back down a bit more (currently catching the arches), then get the ronals refurbed and possibly some bodywork then if funds allow.
  18. keep an eye out for me in my yellow lupo on ronal turbos then
  19. is the throttle body drive by wire? if so how much for that, the inlet manifold and possibly fuel rail with injectors if you still have them thanks steve

  22. i had the engine emissions light on, think the code said something like cylinder bank 1 running to lean, and yes it went away by itself.
  23. My lupo is also a 1.4 s on a 51 plate. Have had the exact same problem, took it to a VW specialist and they were stumped by it. They suggested a few things: check for air leaks around the air box. possible fault with the EGR valve. They also cleaned the throttle body out as it was gunked up (possibly due to the amount of oil in the air box from the crank case breather). seemed to go away a few weeks after buying the car, (was adviced that a good run helps to clear out the TB.) and touch wood hasnt been on since. so still not quite sure what caused it. They did say however that sometimes a gunked up throttle body can cause problems with air flow on tick over, this is due to the throttle body position sensor not being able to take a clear reading. Hope this helps steve
