Welcome to the Club Lupo forum! My name is Jean-Pierre, and I’m thrilled to join this community of enthusiasts who share a love for the wonderful Volkswagen Lupo. For the past six years, my Lupo has been my faithful companion, enduring all kinds of challenges: bumpy roads, dust, mud, and all sorts of weather conditions. It has always held up strong, and I absolutely adore it for that! However, I recently ran into a bit of trouble: during a visit to the garage, the front and passenger-side windows unfortunately got damaged. The issue is that the Lupo is a very rare car here in Africa, especially in Yaoundé, the capital of Cameroon where I live. As a result, finding replacement parts is quite a challenge. So, I’m turning to you, dear forum members, to ask for your help and valuable advice. Do you know of another car model whose windows might be an exact match for the Lupo’s? Or perhaps someone among you might be able to supply these windows? I would be truly grateful for any information or assistance you could provide. Feel free to reach out to me here or via private message. Thank you so much in advance for your support and kindness! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 With heartfelt gratitude, Jean-Pierre

I have recently bought a VW Lupo 1L. I’m looking at changing the cassette player in it to a CD player but not sure how. I have a CD player already but the connections are all completely different. Please could someone recommend a good CD player that has a connection for your phone too please for this car that would be a straight swap. Thanks in advance!

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!

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!

Hello, Please if anyone can help me with a problem i face with vw lupo 1999 3L i will be very grateful as still my mechanic cant find the issue. I have a lovley 1999 lupo which has been great till now but while i am driving it happens sometimes that it doesnt engage. So while driving the engine seems not to be turned off but it wouldnt engage at all and when i press the gas pedal nothing happens. What i have noticed is that it happened in low speeds and also when i drive in moring after car has been in rest for many hours the issie doesnt happen, if i turn off for the second time it happens frequently. It happens only in city street(which is very stressfull for me☹) meanwhile in highway it almosy never happens. Please if anyone can help. Thanks Francy

Hi guys. Looking to know if anyone has any leads for an exhaust, induction kit, decat downpipe, manifold etc. And does anyone know how strong the stock camshaft on the Lupo 1.4 75bhp is and if it could take about 100bhp? Any other modding tips would be appreciated. I’m new to the game with Lupos and wanted to know where I would stand before I bought one. I don’t want to be told to just swap the engine as I’m really not capable of that lol. I was hoping to go for just a bit more power but mainly a low and slow build.

Can the lupo 1.4 sport (100bhp) parts such as the cams and aftermarket manifolds end exhausts fit on the 1.4 S (75bhp)?

Hi all, This might be a bit of an outlandish question but would a Volkswagen Golf Mk7 1.4L TSI R-Line Engine and 7-Speed DSG be capable of fitting inside a Lupos engine bay? I understand engine swapping is difficult, frustrating, and potentially very expensive, but the thought process was both engines are the same size (granted the Turbo) so they should both fit - and how large can a DSG be, right? Atop of this, of course, other aspects of the car would need to be changed, but most importantly I was just wondering if anyone has swapped a Golf's 1.4L into a Lupo; specifically a more modern 1.4L (like the Mk5's GT TSI DSG with 170bhp, or the R-Line TSI with 150bhp). Thank you in advance

Hi, i have a little 1.0l lupo and need some ideas on what wheels to get! At the moment it just has the standard vw alloys. I need some ideas of what looks good that isn't toooo pricey but don't mind spending a fair amount on something decent. Any help much appreciated
