  1. Give it a full dose of cat cleaner and give it half-to an hour on a motorway

    Lupo GTI

    There's nothing wrong with that car

    Lupo Sport

    When Britain crashes out of the EU and the £ becomes worthless we will only be able to afford to run an SDI or a TDI, using red diesel
  4. I'd need bigger wheels, 15" minimum, worth doing though for any car with the 256 mm discs and calipers, more needed for the 239mm brakes though
  5. Its to go into a 57 plate Polo, which has a seized engine, I would agree with the comments about the later engines being weaker, I have two 2001 TDI's with huge mileages, whereas this failed engine on the Polo only has 66,000 miles on it.
  6. There are a few different engine codes for these engines varying with the vehicles they were fitted to, has anyone used a Polo TDI engine with the BNV BNM or BMS codes, are they interchangeable? This could be an issue if the Lupo engine ever breaks or for someone with a Polo or a Fabia looking to fit a TDI unit from a Lupo or an Arosa
  7. Brake system is different too, sport has rear discs and bigger front calipers, you might get away with just changing the fonts though but it's quite involved, overall though I wouldn't bother
  8. Reg would be useful as some of us like to check if its a CAT C or D but at that price it doesn't really matter, I'd buy it but Scunny is too far away
  9. that equates to my average, more or less depending on the run type. 70mpg is a fantasy unless you are prepared to do Motorway runs at a steady 55, but 10mpg is equally ridiculous, either a leak or theft
  10. if it is emissions, add a dose or even two to half a tank of fuel and give the car a 50 mile run
  11. you need to be less sensitive and more specific about what you mean
  12. you risk a 2nd offence if caught using a phone to check speed
  13. your speedo may not read your true speed
  14. change your tyre profile to 185/60/14
  15. A mk 2 Golf with Boge Turbo gas and matched and slightly lower springs, made perfect with a polybush kit
  16. The test was done on Tuesday, I've got 5 replacement bulbs which will be good enough but not perfect, but the outside is chipping and cracking as I try to pull it out.
  17. MOT time on the Lupo TDI Sport, advisory on the 3rd brake light, I've got the replacement bulbs but the whole thing is cracking up with age, do I buy a new unit, or can I legally tape it up, the car is black so black gaffer tape will conceal it, I know that it will fall apart if I try to remove it.
  18. I think we both would need 15" wheels to run these in our TDI's
  19. So possible on a SDI with blending but unwise on a TDI? My only experience of using Veg oil in in a 5 cylinder Merc diesel, where it was fine as a 50/50 blend
  20. The Lupo is not yet a classic, maybe when the earliest get to 25 years old...maybe
