Cya Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Hi All, I've been looking for another smaller VW and came across the Lupo! There are two for sale in my area, a 2000 1.4 16v S that has 89k miles with this done on the car: VW Lupo 3 doors, 4 seats in good bodywork and interior Model 75 HP (55Kw) 5 fiscal CV (very good engine 4 cylinders and 16 valves).. Technical control OK 4 new tires bills in 2015: Kit distribution and pump water complete clutch Thermostat 2016: complete exhaust system revision (oil and filters) made in all € 2,600 maintenance bills; for sale need bigger. or a 2001 TDI with 80k miles with this done: Sells Volkswagen Lupo TDI 75 hp. Car in good condition. Options: - Power steering - Air conditioning - Power windows . Revision made . CT ok . Price negotiable Please feel free to contact me for more information. My concern is the gearbox/pedalbox failures that I've been reading about! Are all Lupo's susceptible to potential gearbox/pedalbox failure? Both are around the same price = 2,200 euros....the 1.4 is more appalling in that a lot of work has been done on the car and both cars look great...in the pic's. I have yet to see them in person... Any suggestions or help especially with the gearbox/pedalbox issues??? Thanks Cya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Loop Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Out of those two I'd go for the TDI (lower mileage, better fuel economy, cheaper and aircon). No need to worry about the pedalbox as the steering wheel is on the left in France. Go try both and see if the gearbox is good or not on both... Surely you can do some work with the 400€ difference between them both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skezza Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Wouldn't touch a 1.4 16v. Worst Lupo made. 1.4Tdi, arguably the best and most desirable Lupo (after a GTI of course). Take the TDI. Retrofit Cruise Control, a boot light, and some nice OEM+ extras and you'll have a car not only worth good money but that you'll actually want to keep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnglandSoul Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 Would also say the TDi out of the two having owned a TDI myself great little cars wish i had kept it now, but couldnt part with my GTi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My_Names_Buck Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 I'd also pitch on the tdi bandwagon tbh bud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
