  1. Hello guys, I've bought myself a 2001 VW lupo 1.0. It was 500€ but it came with the engine light on. We suspected that the car was running on 3 cylinders, and today we got that confirmation. It had an error in the 4th cylinder. We replaced the candles, the coil and checked the cables as well. The car smells like gas every time its starts, as well when its stationary and I rev it, so it doesn't seem to be the injector (we think). Does anyone know what it could be? Thx
  2. Just wondering how to go about fitting this backbox and short link pipe. The short link pipe from the back-box runs longer than where the U-clamp that holds the two bits together.for the backbox. Would i have to cut the stock pipe? Everything matched perfectly apart from that. on the photo of the underside of the car. that isn’t mine but has the same exhaust set up and there is a line to show where it goes up to.
  3. Hi there, I was just wondering if anyone could help me price up a 2004 Lupo 1.0L I have seen a few online get snapped up for a decent amount even in non-running condition so just wondering what you would all value it at - ideally do not want to scrap! Problems Rear boot catch pushed into - so need to put a bit of pressure on the boot to open (no structural damage) Suspected gear box issue - gears not quite going into action all the time (so would consider underivable currently) Pros: Great interior - little internal wear and tear Great paintwork - no bubbling and still has her shine Only 2 owners - plus service history from date it was manufactured
  4. Hi all, I hope that you can help me with my Lupo AUD 1.4 from 2002. It sometimes goes into some kind of emergency mode, mainly after long drives. Then a strange clapping noise comes from the exhaust. It won't accelerate anymore. After a wait it will drive normally again after shutting it down. I've thus far replaced both O2 sensors, the catalytic converter and the spark plugs. It shows error code P0441 and P0134. In t video you can hear the strange noise. Any help and suggestions are welcome! Thanks! Rolf VID-20230304-WA0014.mp4

  6. Good day, I'm looking to buy a bunch of body panels for my lupo. Front and rear bumper Both wings Both doors All in soft blue and good presentable condition North East of England i will travel if I can get the whole lot from one place Cheers
  7. Hi there. Just wanted some advise on what to do about my 2001 Lupo, 1.4 16v 75bhp. I’m having trouble getting the EML off. Got a code for P1174, Bank 1, fuel measuring system, Injection Timing Deviation. I’ve replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter and the injectors. I’d already replaced one of the O2 sensors already, long before this started. I’ve also replaced the secondary CAT as it was already falling apart. Not sure what else I can replace apart from the Charcoal canister, the crankshaft sensor and camshaft sensor. Many thanks Micheal
  8. Hi there, I got a blinking red temp light on (>100C) 15min after leaving the area I had my car parked (reallyyyy slope road, for about 3h). Opened the bonnet and the reservoir had a lot of pressure inside. I let it cool down a bit and removed the blue cap. I missed a lot of coolant that spilled out right after opening it (I was aware of severe burn risk). I called the tow truck and got my car parked at home. Then, I turned on the engine with the Reservoir cap off and tapped some of those large hoses to release some eventually stuck air. It took me about 15/20min with the engine running (so head gasket might be good?) to start seeing some bubbles again in the reservoir, some of them coming back from the bottom small hose. The top thin hose pours water back into the reservoir on idle so the water pump may be working properly. Also, the more I press the gas pedal, the more water it pours in. great! I repeated the entire process again, now turning on the Heater fully on 'hot' after starting to see some bubbles 15min after engine start. It immediately dropped the temp and stopped the bubbling while it was on (cap off). Some aspects I've noticed so far: Timing belt and water pump are new (1.5y) OK Thermostat was changed last week. OK Reservoir lid is free of residues. OK Coolant is new (1 week old). it was refilled after the old one came out due to high pressure inside the reservoir. OK No leaks, spills on the ground below the car, or missing coolant after every/some cycles. OK The radiator fan (the only one I'm aware of) only comes ON if AC (hot) is turned on (not idea if the same result with just the heater on hot). It's not turning on by itself at 100C when bubbling starts occurring (ac or heater off). Is this the problem? Pressing the gas pedal increases the pouring flow of coolant into the coolant reservoir. Letting the engine on idle also pours water in, at a lower flow. OK Do i need to add distilled water to the G12 when filling up the tank? This is the one I'm using, directly into the reservoir. Question: Should I close the lid while the heater is still blowing? When do I know there is no more air in the system? What procedures should I take? Any ideas? Ty!

  10. i'm new to the mod scene, i'm looking at buying recaro seats and found a wicked set of 4 mk3 leather seats from a 3-door car, will these be able to fit in my 3-door 2004 1.0 Lupo?
  11. I Bought some GTI headlights made to fit 1.0, they’ve been working fine for months and not got the problem with them turning off on their selves sometimes it’s just the left light and then sometimes it’s both when the lights turn off I have to turn them off and back on multiple times and they will come back on and if that doesn’t work I have to turn the car off and back on and they light up again. When the lights turn off the side lights sometimes stay on but really dim. Also when the lights turn off you can no longer hear the switches inside the lights clicking when going from low beam to high beam. I have checked the wiring inside the lights they seem fine , the pins inside the connectors had abit of corrosion but I have cleaned them up. Just to mention it only has a cheap £30 ballast, don’t know if that has to do with anything. any help is appreciated, TIA
  12. Can anybody on here point me in the direction of anyone who can deal with gearboxes for a 1.7sdi, either to rebuild the one I have or source a replacement? Driving to a race track yesterday the box became particularly unhappy sounding when coating without the clutch in, happens in 1st and 2nd and the same noise has now spread to 3rd gear. Clutch in, out of gear and 4th and reverse seem to produce no whining, so I fear I've lost main bearings or something along that route in the gearbox. It still selects just fine, but driving it is likely to end in the inevitable loss of probably everything. I've been quoted around £1000 to have the box out, another box thats on ebay for £350 put in, along with a clutch and the labour, which I honestly can't really justify at this time. I've just put it through an MOT and at 183,000 miles its seen quite the life as my first and only car for the last 6 years. As some may understand, I'd be quite devastated to have to let it go Can anybody point me in any less wallet crippling directions?
  13. Hi! My Lupo has already have ‘half’ seat heat system. I mean the loom, relay, and switches but the seats do have not any heater things. So I have bought after-market heat panels but it has just two wires. Positive and negative. (red, black). The loom cabel hasn’t got any connector under the seat. It has four wires (without connector) Black, brown (these are big), and yellow, red-yellow. I have measured the voltages but one of them has no voltage. (I think it is the ground). So my question is, Is it possible to connect the after-market heat panel to the loom? And what kind of wires are there under the seat? (positive, negative, etc.) I would appreciate your answer guys thanks.
  14. Hey everyone 👋 Here's an intro to the 1.8t Lupo build from my other post, but I'll be continuing the updates here. I picked up a dirt cheap Lupo a while a go and it's been good to knock about in and that. The only problem is, it's a 1.0 and the severe lack of speed is quite frustrating. I've not had anything particularly quick on 4 wheels but have had a motorcycle since I was 17 and it's pretty nippy if I so say so myself. One night, after a few beers I bid on a Mk4 Golf GTI thinking nothing of it... until I woke up the next day and won it!! Oops. It was cheap, has some problems, but it was cheap. It's a 150bhp AUM with a 5spd box and full leather interior. It drives OK enough and for the most part works, although there is an issue at idle which needs addressing. It vibrates quite a bit at idle but smooths out as the revs rise - I'll be checking the spark plugs & doing a compression test to see whats up. And thats the start of my 1.8t Lupo...
  15. Hello all, Can anyone help if the above wheels will fit my lupo with 0 modifications? They come with new alloys too. Really like the look of them but wanted to make sure they fit and don't cause any issues. Thank you!

  17. Hi all, Recently I had to remove my gear knob from my VW Lupo 1.4 Automatic in order to remove the centre console. Whilst putting the car back together, however, my gear knob button is jammed about half way into the gear knob and out; when installing back onto my car the button is jammed in said position and thus not allowing me to change gears in the car. Has anyone else had this issue before and knows the solution/do I need to buy a new gear knob? I'm unable to find any information regarding the Lupo specifically online, but all of the tutorials online show the cars "swapping auto gear knobs" which is helpful: but, when they release the selector itself the rod allowing the car to change gear needs to be pressed down, whereas in the Lupo it needs to be pulled up in order to change gear. Many Thanks in advance.
  18. Hi everyone, I've been lurking here for a few months so I thought I should introduce myself. Firstly, I'd like to say what a friendly place this is and I think I'd like to stay around for a while if you let me! As a family we've owned at least one VW for the last 34 years now and still have a few aircooled cars on the fleet, so when we started looking for a first car for my son (He turned 17 a few weeks ago) our focus turned to something small, cheap to insure and he could also personalise to some degree. He liked the look of a Lupo, especially the clean lines of the GTi (he is obviously oblivious to the insurance implications) so the search began in October last year. Lockdown has made it a bit tricky to view cars, and I realised that Lupos were not exactly easy to come by and missed two or three, but I was fortunate to see a car advertised here last December in the same town I work and promptly bought it on the spot. You may all remember Helen who briefly turned up last year to sell it. The car is a 2001 SDi 1.7S in Taffeta Green metallic with 171K on the clock. Helen owned it from new and it has been serviced and MOTd at the same local VW dealer from new. Helen loved the car (I believe it has been replaced with a newer Lupo) but she is not a car lover and it is in quite a poor state cosmetically. A (very poor) repair has been attempted to the passenger sill, the driver's side sill it getting scabby near the rear wheel arch as well as in the roof channels. There are numerous parking dings and scuffs around, it also looks like the local youth have climbed over the car a few times with small dents on the roof and bonnet. Both doors made a banging noise opening and closing, the upper door cards and grab handles were broken and there are several bits of trim missing. Despite all this, we have fallen in love with the car, and the engine seems quite reliable and pulls strongly. Having the complete service history is a bonus, many of the usual faults have been addressed over time (pedal box, electric windows). It's never going to be a concourse car, but it looks OK from 20 yards and it will serve us as a learner car and a commuter car (I do about 60 miles a day) We weren't particularly looking for an SDi, but I can see they have quite a loyal following. We have decided to run it on veggie oil and have been doing so for the last month without issue. I must already say thanks to several members here, I have gleaned information to change the fuel filter, the roof aerial, remove and clean the headlining, fix one of the door check straps with an Oilite bearing and I also checked the air intake box (it was perfectly clean inside!) Again, thanks to @mk2, @Skezza and @Rich for posting some very valuable information. Apologies if I missed anyone. Still lots to be done, some beyond our simple capabilities, but the front brakes need attention, one of the door hinges need replacing and I need quite a bit of interior trim. There is also quite a loud whistling above 60mph. I think we will attempt replacing the front disks and pads ourselves, the new door hinge may be a stretch. I didn't bargain on it being so hard to find trim parts, could anyone help me with that here, or should I start a new thread? Cheers Mark
  19. Good afternoon, First time poster here since buying my Lupo. I am looking for advice on alloy wheel fitment. So my lupo needs 3 tyres replacing but instead of replacing them I have a set of 15 inch alloy wheels with tyres on that have only been driven 200 miles maximum. The alloys I have are of a mk3 golf vr6 (I have 4x100 to 5x100 adapters) so they will fit interms of pcd and centre bore as far as I'm aware. The tyre size on them are 195/45/15 and the car is on coilovers. So with the 195 45 15 tyres and the alloy specs are 6.5Jx15 ET43. Two questions I have are: Will they fit? Will there be a clearance issue in the arches? I look forward to your replys and expertise Kind regards Jordan Ps. I have attached a picture of the very same alloy wheels and my car.

  21. Recently bought my first vw after 10 or so years of looking down on them.. And I have to say that even with a 1.4 lupo I now understand why people are so passionate with vw. Theres a quality that you cant find in other new small cars (one of my other cars was a w168 a-classe 1.4 and even that little merc seems somewhat less well built). I m in the process of changing the door panel fabric to black and painting the trim to black.(its a red car). Can anyone suggest something subtle other than audio ,steering wheel ,seats and wheel covers? Already did a **** job with a wheel cover ( black with red stitching, I m turning everything in the interior in that fashion). Thanks in advance and thanks for all the info already in the forum. Open to discussion 😃

    Lupo GTI wanted

    Hi all New here. Anybody selling their Lupo Gti? Preferably Red or Black.
  23. Hello, I'm after some advice (or interest!) I'm looking to sell my Lupo, it's been a great little car but due to my change in circumstances working from home it's been sat on my drive, not being used since we went into lockdown. I have owned this car since 2010, it's been my first and only car and i'm really sad to see if go but seeing it on my driveway makes me feel worse, i'd love for it to go to someone who will be able to enjoy it and get some use out of it. My question is, where is the best place to sell? It is going to require work i would imagine, as it hasn't been used since March this year - any ideas where the best place is for me to sell? (or if anyone here is interested?) Open to offers and advice! Thanks, Laura @ sellingmylupo
