lupo1.0se

I am going to be honest. I severely doubt Vw will help with this request unfortunately. But it is a situation i have been keeping a eye on for a while. To my knowledge the only manufacturers that have produced 205/45 are listed below. Dunlop - Not been avalaible since the early 2010s Toyo - (reason for this thread) Starmaxx - (has cropped up on the odd occasion but similar issues to Toyo - https://www.autodoc.co.uk/tyres/starmaxx-8680830010756-56110) So where does this leave us? Very little options. Realistically if you really want 205/45/r15 i think the only option going forward is to speak to a tyre specialist (think Longstone tyres or Blockley tyres). These are people that supply tyres for classic cars. But if a case could be made for them to produce 205/45/r15 then it could be a possiblity. To think about it. Around 6000 lupo gtis where produced. (thats at least 24000 tyres), thats before considdering the same wheels where used on the Citigolf. Plus other cars maybe out there i am not aware of use this size tyre. So a case for supplying this size tyre may be viable for a smaller manufacturer? Otherwise go to 195/45/r15

I have seen this. Personally i am going to reserve a bit of judgement on this. Vw has not copied another manufacturer and put said nameplate on something that it does not represent. Said manufacturer maybe paying the price for this now. I think with how the Renault 5 is doing is kind of showing how the market is going and that has been quite success (see below article) from what i have seen. A friend of mine has one. City car size at present there is not many options. So it might do ok? https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/renault-no-next-generation-5-would-be-massive-mistake

Ok. It is probably a AUC engine. These where fitted to lupos. Could be a number of things. But from some expereince, when plugging a code reader it will tell you missfire, but not where so this is a list of things it could be. If its on 40k and only done smaller journeys. Check the EGR valve first as that may be clogged. Otherwise it could be any of the following Spark Plugs Coilpack Injectors Thats where i would start.

Ok. Order book is open. To ship to the UK is €30. So the total will be around £90.

not quite. Price: €69.90 + shipping

OttOMobile has just announced they are doing a Tornado Red Lupo GTi, having previously done a Raven Blue GTi a few years ago. Pre-order opens in August for delivery in October. I suspect it will be popular, previous allocation of Raven Blue sold out on Pre-order (1500). https://www.facebook.com/OttOmobile.officiel

Just missed you last night as you where leaving i was arriving.

It was a Lupo Gti on silver i recall. In the press car thread it was for sale around 2021. But the last info i have. I know L3UPO is not on the silver gti and it was up for sale on one of the facebook groups.

Yes it was me. I had to leave early. Sorry.

To add. They just announced the 4th April is a Friday night social. https://www.facebook.com/events/1004208675105820?acontext={"event_action_history"%3A[{"mechanism"%3A"attachment"%2C"surface"%3A"newsfeed"}]%2C"ref_notif_type"%3Anull}

Yes, sports are rarer than GTis. I have tried to buy a couple but on each occasion has failed for different reasons.

I thought i'd mention this. You may be to go the manufacturer and ask for a Certificate of Conformity. More details below. I suspect a 1.0ltr arosa would meet this of any age. https://motorway.co.uk/sell-my-car/guides/cetificate-of-conformity-ulez

There is a member on here who has a Gti with less than 3000 miles from new. There was another Japan import Gti that when it came to the country it had 3000 miles (checked the MOT history and that is now on 32000 miles WO04 ZHA) I did try and buy a sport about 10 years ago that had similar mileage to your car but unfortunately it had been agreed to sell to a family member.

There are other car meeting in the Ashford area to. There is the hazard meet which happens on the 1st sunday of the month at the Doghouse Micropub, they have just started doing some at Lydd kart circuit on the 3rd Sunday of the month, there is Romney Retros too but they are a bit more sporadic, but they do have one on this sunday at the pilot too.

I have created a thread in the London South East part of the forum. 21st March i won't be able to do but the 16th April i might be able to do.
