scotschick Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Hello, This is my first post and I'm gonna be a pain and ask for advice!!!! lol. I have had my GTI Lupo for a few weeks now and I <3 it, the only problem is a scraping noise when reversing and when on full lock. My friend who is a mechanic had a listen and thought it was the universal joint, however, after I put it into the local dealership they found 'no problem'. Is this a common fault with Lupo's? I'm confused, but to be fair it's not hard. Any suggestions greatly appreciated!!SCx style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
