BridLupo Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 I've just officially after a year of saving bought a Lupo sport TDi and all i can say is WOW. Love it already. Picked it up from Uxbridge, London at dinner time and brought it all the way up north to Bridlington. Looking at the diesel guage it drunk about £17 - £18 of fuel for 230 - 240 miles. And i was giving it some. Average 90 on all the motorways top speed 110 but it still had some more to go. Gave the stereo a good listen too and the front speakers are surprisingly good. Its done 26000 on a 03 plate. Full VW service history. Very clean. Alloys. Anthresite Grey Pearl in colour. Glad i managed to find one as i had sold my car and i start back at uni in 3 weeks.Cheers for peoples advice on engines and i think i've made the right choice.BTW do the brakes tend to squeek a little when they get hot. Just noticed it??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montythemole Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 BTW do the brakes tend to squeek a little when they get hot. Just noticed it???<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Mine didn't squeak but I did manage to warp the discs around Milton Keynes (70mph - stop, 70mph - stop etc etc) so look out for that. I fitted ATE power Discs after that from Euro Car Parts and they lasted a bit longer but still could fell a slight warping under light braking when I sold it.Well done on the TDI, they're bloody great, did about 12k in mine in 3 months and average 50mpg and I drive like a fool a lot.

BridLupo Posted August 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 The subtle modder. Sorry to say i sold my car without even trying my boss jsut asked me if i's sell it to him. Secondly you really should have been reading the for sale section on here as that was where i found the car. Had to drive to london for it but its been well worth the journey already. Brakes have stopped squeeking so i think i'd jsut given them too much of a braying.I thought the Revo remap was supposed to be good especially upping the torque Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slyclone Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Well done on the TDi...I was looking for one when I got my Loop, but living on the Isle of Wight makes it hard and expensive to go and look at every car that takes your fancy! So when a petrol Sport was up for sale at a garage here I bought it before they had put the price in the window!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The subtle modder Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 thanks for the link mate but i aint gonna pay that much for a 51 plate im fussy i know but ive spent ages looking at cars so far (two years including when i owned the cinq) and figure i may as well make sure i get everything i want such as-got to be a mk2 arosa-got to be 1.4 petrol (diesls are alright and quick enough but arent the same feel as a petrol)-less than 35,000 miles (planning on keeping car for ages)-must be within a 120 mile radius of menot much to ask but it hasnt brought any up yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
