andy4976 Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 Hi Guys,Thats me now an official Lupo GTI owner, i drove to upholland, lancaster on saturday and did the business, traded the Focus ST, well impressed with the car, spec as follows:1) 02 plate, 12,000 mls with FVWSH2) metalic silver3) A/C4) Leather interior with heated seats5) Electric sunroof6) remote central locking & alarm - ( is this standard or optional ?)only took £23.00 to fill it to the brim with fuel, 200 miles back home on a just over £10.00, excellent mpg, can't drive her though until next monday as my private plate is going thru DVLA at the moment, well impressed so far and have only driven 200 miles it it, plan to fit cruise control, been checking out a kit on Ebay, according to the seller its just a case of swapping the indicator stalk.Has anyone fitted cruise control ?, pointers would be good.

Tigz™ Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 Never heard of anyone fitting it.Didn't think it was an option either so you'd be the first!Doubt it would be as straight forward as just swapping over the stalk though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoopy Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 Been down the cruise control route, Awesome GTI said the ECU didn't support it and my own investigations pointed in the same direction style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bikerz Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 er cruise control was mentioned on here before, some one wanted to pinch off a higher spec VW passet or somthing and he gave up fitting it as it was such a problem so i wouldnt be soo sure mate.

MattyB Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 Lupo throttle isn't fly-by-wire...IIRC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 GTI definitely is fly-by-wire, I seem to recall Tigz saying his 1L was as well...?Some early non-GTIs might not be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 GTi, 100hp 1400, 1.0 are all flyby.I dont know about the TDi, but Id imagen the SDi was cable also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 My old Polo 1.4 75bhp engine was fly-by-wire too, so I assume the Lupo is the same.The car I drove when I passed my test, my Mum's Mitsubishi Shogun, was drive-by-cable but had cruise control. Was awesome, the accelerator pedal would go up and down all by itself style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":o" border="0" alt="ohmy.gif" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 Heres whats on the back of my Polo engine, and I know Mitch's 75hp Lupo engine was the same. border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 200 miles back home on a just over £10.00Am I reading that right?I usually get circa 200 miles from a tankful, as do most folk... if you got 200 miles from less than half a tankful you need to drive it harder! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />Good luck with the car tho mate, you will grow to like it even more, trust me!

FunkyMunky Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 Hmm, I have no idea what this is about, so i'll keep out of it style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> (Cool beans with the accelerator pedal moving up and down by itself though style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 Looking at the |Ebay link, it looks like Snoop is right.the Gti isn't compatable.Check the table at the bottom of the advert.The GTi engine isn't even listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
