Lupo 1.4TDi, 2004, Anthracite Grey, 89000 miles.

The body work has a few issues, so rather than buy and fix, I'll stick with what I've got, good luck with the sale -

I like it, can I ask you to try the aircon just to see if it works, thanks -
pictures, info on service history/maintenance
-
I am looking for a newer one than my 2001 Arosa TDI, have you pictures of the car, any history, etc

1.0L SE with GTI engine swap - needs finishing

Brakes? Uprated or 239mm up front and drums at rear, if I still lived in N/cle I'd be tempted -
there have been a few on sale with over 200k on the clock
-
But not when they are diesel, I have two TDI's one on 175k the other on 167k expect them to outlive the body work
-
waiting for the MOT, if I'm lucky they'll last

Do we need a tyre thread, I ask/suggest because in my experience, my little Lupo's/Arosa's chew their way through tyres very quickly. Front tyres rarely last a year, and that's experience across the board, I've had 3 TDI's, an Auto, two 75bhp 1.4's, a Sport a 1litre, and an SDI. Only one missing is the GTI. I'm sloppy when it comes to brands too, I usually buy the cheapest but I will always put a pair on the front. Is there any point in buying Michelin, or Conti's, is there a wear/performance advantage or is that all in the heads of tyre testers?

pics?
-
I'd buy on condition and if it were a colour I didn't kike I'd learn to live with it, TDi's are getting rare
-
As its very rare to get a white Lupo, Silver is best for reflecting the sun in the years when we get a summer
-
might be a useful source of parts though
-
Why not, is it a weight issue or do you prefer high revs over torque
-
Koko, we need your location to be able to suggest a garage that can sort you out, if you are near Cardiff, its NG Motors, or in Swansea Rtec, but there are lots more, to start with it needs a diagnostic lead linked to a laptop plugged into your car's portal, the portal is under your ashtray.

we are on the engines in the 4th Generation Polo Typ 6Q/9N/9N3; 2002–2009, most basic engine was the 3 cylinder petrol just 1.2 litres
-
Oil leak in gearbox is a common fault, starts jumping out of 5th then works its way down the box, not really fixable either
-
Not as nose heavy as the SDI version, only driven these as hire cars in Spain but the 4 pot diesel has ugly handling compared to say the petrol 1.2
-
I think it was only running on 3 cylinders, which would explain the smoke and the lack if poke, have driven a Lupo version since and was pleasantly surprised, similar performance to the 1 litre petrol
-
Agree, the TDI is the car to have, I had an Arosa SDI for a while, very slow and very smelly, good bit was the wind up windows
-
or a matt black vinyl bonnet
-
looks decent and for £695 54 plate
-
I'll have a black one and a silver one
-
they'd sell very well in Spain
