  1. Ah poop, it sounded worth doing.

    I'm not going to do it just for the sake of it, for a placebo effect, access looks like a bit of a git in the A2.

    I know there's not so much to do to an AUA, I wouldn't spend much on it, the money's better saved for it's replacement. A Polo GTI 1.6 is easy and obvious but I'm thinking by the time an engine is bought and refreshed I might be better off with a 1.4 tsi 122.

  2. I've read of this little tweak and the midrange gains sound handy. Is it just plug and play? Is the standard ok with it? Anything else to think of such as egr or whatever?

    As an aside, I'll be doing this to an A2. On the inlet they have a resonance box (I guess) before the tb that mounts to the top of the inlet manifold and goes to the air filter that is mounted underneath the driver's side headlight. I don't know if that would be helpful or workable on a Lupo/Arosa.

    Thanks :)

  3. I've got a set of Arosa Sport 15" wheels, brand new and boxed with brand new centre caps.

    Googling a pic to put up mostly brings up cars on the forum so here's a general link...I'm sure everyone knows whatthey're like though!

    Collection from Bluewater, Kent though I'll travel a bit to drop them off and a bit further if you pay fuel etc to do so.

    They're in the original boxes so ready to go if you want to send a courier.

    £300

  4. Iirc the cd for a std Lup is .32 and .3 for a 3l.

    I averaged 48mpg in my 1.0 Arosa, the same I get from my Passat tdi but I was tending to have more fun in the Arosa (and Bola's a more interesting colour).

  5. Mpg wise I'm getting 50mpg, down to 49mpg last weekend after queuing to get into Biggin Hill (three-up with a boot full and more stuff on the back seat. The 1.0 coped well, it's hilly in those parts and it scooted about quite happily and better than I thought it would tbh).

    There'll be a few threads on here for things to look out for but basically pedal box probs/ door hinges/catches and the normal things you'd look for with any car.

  6. :shades:

    Cool colou, I think the wheels suit it well, curvy spokes with curvy bodywork, loving the centre exit, remapped tdi can never be bad, only things to (imo of course) would be something to tie the front valance with the rear (I know options are limited) and perhaps black door panels. I say perhaps as I think they match the bottom dash and carpet and may be a similar shade to the centre of the seats which would help tie it together and changing dash and carpets is a fair bit of faffing about.

    I'd be happy with it as a daily:D
