Hi Guys So I picked up lupo today its a tdi has quite a few fancy bits on it I wasnt expecting cup holers in the dash electric windows and mirrors and foggies it seems like a pretty decent little car pretty chuffed only real problem is a noisy wheel bearing in the rear and I think I've Blown a relay messing with the lights as I forgot VW uses relays instead of microswitches as my sidelights hazards and full beam work but my dips , indicators and foggies dont :S oops . But yeah great little car diddnt miss a beat on the 90 mile trip back home from where I got it from and was an absolute bargain!!!!!

Also I did some research and Tax changes are unlikely to act retrospectively as it would cause more than 1/3 of the uk cars to be totally unviable for most of their owners it will most likely come into effect on new diesel vehicles and theyll probably Spank diesels at the pumps and where there are congestion charges . I could be wrong but most of the problems people have with diesel cars are in built up areas so I imagine it will be more of a local authority type deal rather than a big sweeping act against the diesel engine , Haulage companies wont stand for being taxed out the butt lol

Balance shaft ? are they a 3 banger ?

See you every day on my way to and from work we pass in the opposite directions I'm in my Subaru at the moment hopefully in my Lupo soon

if this one on turns out to be a Lemon Rich I may well do haha. is there anywhere on the site that is like a definittive buying guide for these cars where to look for problems etc ive heard gearbox, central locking and windows can be trouble is there anywhere critical they like to rust? or any other problems I should be looking for ? Cheers

Yeah im thinking I may have to settle for the SDi cus the TDi's are so rare at the moment .

Thanks Guys, yeah I saw that yellow one got my eye on it but yeah if its not the cheap tax one probably not interested so thanks for that info Sausage
