Quite a few Lupo's i've had and driven make that very same noise. Sound very much like a ships horn. I've had 2 VW dealers try their hardest to find it on more than one car. Both eventually said its just a characteristic(sp) of the Lupo, nothing to be worried about. Sometimes my one does it sometimes it does not. However i've never had it make the same noise when going forward. Neil

Honestly don't know Michael. Just remember spotting it when i was surfing for mods. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Abs was an option on all lupo's except GTi's. As to wheather its an S or an E... Factory standard Electric windows and central locking were the differences between an S and E.

I think i will go with an Darker Silver/Anthricite(sp?)... But something that has just struck me... What will i do with the centre caps???

Ermmm...I was talking about the current New car market in general not Lupo's. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

Book Values do not Apply on Lupo Gti's! They are a "cult" Vehicle so there will probally be someone who will pay over the odds for the "right car." If you want i can get you Glass's and CAP but it won't mean a thing. I've just looked on autotrader and they have a 03 plate for £8700 from a trader. I would probally say its worth about £8750... If you put it up at £8995 no-one would probally get past the title of your advert because it would look too expensive. Go in at £8750 and stick to your guns. If no-one rings at that price then it is up for too much. The person who i bought mine off was getting alot of calls for his Lupo GTi... so there seems to be a high demand out there for the right car. e.g mine 51/01 with AC ,20k, FVWSH, Silver £6000 Booked at over £7000 retail. And i bought mine retail. Silver being a down side??? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":confused:" border="0" alt="confused.gif" /> Still the most popular colour being sold! Unfortunately you paid top money for the car when you bought it... But you got a top car so don't worry! Good luck with the sale!

Had a look at that very nice! Sorry i was hopeing to see a Silver car with White wheels. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Sorry i'm lost style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":confused:" border="0" alt="confused.gif" /> Standard Gti's are 125/6 BHP... Yours Standard pumped out 130+??? What am i missing??? Also how much did it cost to get the re-map if you don't mind me asking...

Thinking of Changing the wheel colour on my lupo. I know Black works... What about White??? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blush:" border="0" alt="blush.gif" /> Could someone do a pshop with the standard Bathurst's on a Silver Lupo GTi??? Thanks in advance! Neil

Tasty!!!

The first 3 were company cars.... all great but at some point they had to be sold... style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> Now considering this is only the second car i have owned, it shows how much i loved them and that i was actually willing to part with my own cash to get one... and when i've "had" probally close to 35 cars in my life (i'm 25 years old)... from BMW's to Nissans that must mean i'm really in love.....

Think I only have a picture of the 1st one... Y49NLM black 5speed... i'll have a look. As soon as i pick the new baby up i will get some pictures on here...

.... or nearly is, picking it up just after new year. Silver 01/51 <19,000 miles AC 6 Speed Full VWSH, done every year regardless of millage. Needs couple of alloys scuffs removed, couple of small, light scratches moped etc... But i'm a very happy bunny... and thought i would share it all with you.... style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Merry Christmas and a happy new year!!!

Reg: "01" Can anyone lend me the million pounds to buy this plate???? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />

Rust is quite a differcult thing to claim for.... What they mean by "Inside Out" anti-perforation warranty is any defects in the paintwork. Rust is normally occurs when there is a break in the paintwork and what causes rust generally comes "Outside In." Breaks being the smallest of stone chips. Therefore they get round not having to fix it under warranty... It is also differcult to claim for when the rust is there... if it was still at the early stages of bubbleing then it makes your job easier... But take it to VW and see what their stance is... it changes from Dealership to dealership... it all comes down the warranty administrator and how "good" he/she is....

51/01 @ 46k 5650 trade 7000 retail based on a 6 speed 51/02 @ 43k 5900 trade 7250 retail " " " " CAP i'll have for you in a moment style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> CAP 51/02 @ 40k 4800 trade 6800 retail... CAP is more "realistic" as its based on what actually happen at the auctions last month... However it does not take into account specialist cars and cult vehicles... and of course its only a GUIDE!!!! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

As i said i'm pretty sure its a plastic key with a chip in it to get it started... please double check... coz its along time since i delivered a VW...

Let us know the age and reg and i will let you know what Glass's and CAP say it should be. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Its designed as an "emergency" key... That fits into your walet... It does start the car... or it did the last time i checked ... try it to make sure.

I was told the little "swirly" scratches are caused by polishing as we always do a circular motion. Where as if you go "up & down" it stops the scratchs...

Unfortunately not... Sorry to hear about the loss.
