caitmorse Posted April 8, 2020 Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 Hello everyone:) i’m considering buying my first lupo as i really love the cars but i’m quite new to the driving scene and just wondered if anyone could help. I’m from england and have seen a lupo but it said that the clutch pedal holder is broken? could anyone explain what that means and any estimates on how much it would be to replace without cost of work? thank you:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have friends or family that are mechanics it's not the most difficult job. Usually the welding on the pedal box snaps and it's a case of rewelding it or replacing it. I would guess if you were going to an independant garage it would easily be £150 to repair, maybe £200-250 to replace. Note though that if the car is far away it may not be driveable.

Hello, thank you for helping, it’s a garage and they said they’d deliver it as it needs to be fixed before driving but thank you so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weslangdon Posted April 8, 2020 Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 The TDi and GTI models have hydraulic clutches which are much kinder to the pedal box and generally don't break, they are also the best models to buy, so if you haven't bought it seek one of those out. [some will argue for the SDI or the 100bhp 1.4 16v but they are wrong] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarahs Lupo Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 the part can be bought new for £50-60 atm.. cos i am looking for my lupo. if you can get help to do it yourself then easy, if not a garage would be 2-3 hours labour i imagine have a read of the thread MK2 has posted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
