  1. Hi again guys. My car is such a tin can, it didnt even come with a window mechanism. As its getting close to summer( lol) and i havent been in a drive through in months. Is there any other mechanism i can buy and put in it? I have an old polo one in it at the moment but it dosent work Thanks guys.
  2. Seen the black lupo a few times and saw the Dark Green one today, They both look awesome, The Green one had a Club Lupo Sticker in the back passenger window . Didn't get a number plate or a good look at either I have waved at the black lupo before, haha. Who is it? I dont see a-lot of Lupo's around here.
  3. They guy who gave me the quote is a friend of my dad and treets me pretty good, he isnt sure himself what sensor it is. Ive had another word with him and he said he could sort something out for me. Im glad no one has said sell it. I took her out for a spin and realise how much i enjoy driving her
  4. I should really get a list, as I dont know alot about cars. Need to see him anyway so ill get a list. Thanks
  5. He just said one of the sensors, apprently there all worn thou and all need replacing. The engine and the car is fine (except the window) ha.
  6. Hi all, I new here but thought this is the best place to get a awnser. My 1.4 16v 2000 ish VW lupo, is a poorly girl. . The first of these problems was someone had taken out the window mechanism and replaced it with wood. Got it fixed, worked for a week. Now stuck. Second problem was the whole exhaust dropping off while driving. Embarrassing and inconvenient, luckly near my birthday, so i got a new one as a pressent. My mechanic told me getting that replaced would make sure it passes its mot next month. Well... I took her in again to get looked at, the check engine light had come on and was worried Yeaterday i was told there was no hope for the poor girl. All the sensors are worn and the best thing to do is "run it to the ground." This being my first car and only buying her for a grand, I though I might aswell. But deep down, I really like this car. The engine is spot on and everything is so sound. So, here is my proposal, and i need you opinion. Should I save up and get her fixed? I was quoted £800/£1000 Or Should I cut my losses, "run her to the ground" and get another car? I bloody love lupos and possibly would get another one. With the widow and a few dents in her, i cant see myself getting anything at all for her, but to buy another one (same size same year) it gunna cost me a fair bit. Possibly more that its gunna cost me to repair her. Its estimated she will run for another year or so, but i need an opinion now as I should get some saving started regardless. Or can anyone give me any advice on what to do? Im a lady lupo drive and honesty have no clue about cars (apart from I know what a cam belt is and I check my oil once a week ) Thanks you reading and i really want to hear your opinions. Oh and sorry about my bad spelling
