mrs f Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 Hello allI am a newbie to the website and to driving a lupo.I have just bought a secondhand lupo for back and forth to work (6 miles) and although i have had everything else with it we do not have the manual.I am trying to find out how much fuel is left when the fuel light comes on?I have looked via ebay for a manual but with no joy, i have looked on vw website again with no joy.anyone out there with a manual which gives the answer to this question for a 1.0e lupo, please put me out of my misery...... style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LINCOLNSHIRESLUPOGTI Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 I think the light comes on with a gallon left in the tank. I have personally driven my Gti for 30 miles with the fuel light on (new years day and couldn't find an open petrol station). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babs Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 manual reckons gallon and a half (6 litres-ish) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusoe Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 30 miles, then a whole lot of sweat and tears, or boob flashing for a lift. lol.Shouldn't run it far after the light comes on as you'll suck all the sludge form the bottom of the tank into the engine and clog the filters etc. Good excuse to need a lift though, might crash a few cars driving past you though before anyone stopped style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlyall Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Used to have about 8 litres left in our tank when the light came on. That's about 60 - 70 miles in a 1.0 assuming that you can use all 34 litres that it holds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
