  1. Fabulous my loopy is 23 years old this year. Please let me know when you were thinking of doing the run x
  2. Mk2 …. 🤔 original parts ? Good question also rust pic’s needed I think x
  3. Ahh so sad to hear Franklin has gone. I haven’t always been helpful and able to comment with all your problems but I have followed your journey and enjoyed all your ups and downs x best wishes
  4. Hi guys sorry if this has already been talked about but need to fill up tomorrow and so have any of you got any comments on the new petrol. Have you tried it ? I haven’t been able to check if it’s ok in lupo engine. Any information would be appreciated xx
  5. Hi from England I had exactly the same problem the bush shattered into bits x I got a new bush with the same dimensions from ebay and used a set up of tightening a set up of bolts to push it down into place because it was a really tight fit since then have had no problem x
  6. Hi mickster that yellow one was the window cleaners car 😁. I don’t think it’s on the road now. I’m in patcham as well mine is in the garage most of the time in the summer and I use my beetle mostly it’s a cabriolet mellow yellow not bright yellow number plate YLO4 FUN if you see me give me a toot you will know it’s me whichever I’m driving I’ve seen yours parked , I clocked it as there are not many about now x
  7. I will be 21 next year and I just wanted to thank everyone in this group who has helped so much to keep me on the road 👏x happy Christmas x
  8. Thanks y2acp I decided to keep luppy going even when the garage and vw weren’t any help thanks to help on here from mk2 ,shezza and everyone I had the confidence to tackle the last problem which was replacing the clock spring ! Airbag off steering wheel off 😂. The biggest problem really is that all the switches and sensors start to go because the plastic gets brittle x but I always seem to be able to get bits on eBay thanks to the fact that polo parts fit x I hope you are enjoying your lupo x we used to have a few driving around here in Brighton a couple of bright yellow ones but over the last couple of years they have all disappeared.... I’m the only one now x
  9. Hi guys mk2 etc. luppy hit 20 years old passed delayed mot no problems x I just wanted to thank all you guys over the years for all all your help and knowledge to keep my baby on the road xx
  10. Omg you have got a beauty there and with the blue seats !! I was only commenting the other day I haven’t seen the blue or red for years x sorry I get a bit geeky about the early ones having a yellow one myself w reg. I think that it is the coolant temperature sensor from what you say and I have to tell you that even though he hasn’t done many miles and therefore the engine should be sound ,providing the oil was always topped up ,unfortunately the main problem I have experienced is that the sensors and switches do fail basically because of age. Wether it’s because of plastic going brittle or electric failure my first instinct if something goes wrong would be to do with sensor or switch.. I am so glad you have found our site and I think we collectively will always be there to help you whatever the problem xx please keep in touch and let us know how it’s going

    Epc light

    E p c stands for electronic pedal control warning light. Lots of others have thought it was something to do with the engine but it it a sensor with a spring which gets move d with the brake pedal sometimes it gets stuck it controls the brake light ...if the epc light is on then your brake lights aren’t working . Fix the spring by wiggling A bit until they come back on x
  12. Just a thought as well does it have a service history it might just need a blooming good service if the air filter hasn’t been changed that can send in some right nasty smells through the heater system x
  13. I to would love to see some photos inside and out what a lovely find to get such an oldy xx
  14. Would we all make it without breakdowns 😂😂x
