Thanks for the advice - I'll look into some OEM speakers. I have replaced the resistor, but still having the same problem.. someone suggested testing the new resistor with a multimeter so I'll do that when I can raid my mates toolbox, but if it's not that, do you have any idea what it could be?

My Lupo has the original speakers which are way past their best, I can't turn the radio up loud enough to cover the sound of the blowers (which are currently stuck on 4 as 1,2 and 3 have all stopped working) I am a complete newbie and not looking to replace with anything fancy, just fairly basic speakers that can handle enough volume to drown out the engine sound when I attempt to go over 60mph Can anyone point me in the direction of some good value speakers that will fit easily without any modifications?

Thanks for the tip, I'll check that! I have got a mechanic taking a look at it at the end of the month, see if there's anything obvious that needs doing. It looks nice from that side... sadly there's a big dent on the other side I'll get some quotes to fix it at some point but it's low priority right now. First job will be getting some new speakers as they sound horrendous and I need to drown out the engine sound 😂

It's slightly creaky, however I don't know if it's just the huge contrast between a 20 year old clutch in the Lupo and a 6 year old clutch in the Golf that I've been used to up until now. Having driven it for a few weeks now I am getting more used to it. It's so much fun to drive!!!

Hi all, I've just become the proud owner of a 2003 1.0 Lupo in Fresco Green. After driving much more modern cars for a few years, it's taking a bit of getting used to 😅 I've previously had Mk2, 3 and 4 Golfs and currently drive my partner's Mk7 TDI for longer trips (or if I ever want to get above 60mph) Expecting a few issues to pop up with this Lupo as the clutch doesn't feel great, it's only done 66k but it feels like it's on it's way out. Also does anyone know if it's normal for the revs to go super low when in reverse? I'm stalling it constantly when I'm parking, which is a tad embarrassing! Expect lots more newbie questions from me over the coming months Will upload a pic when it lets me, keep getting error messages!
