Jen Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 (edited) i wouldnt be disappointed things could be a lot worse mine does it too, great for making me look like a 'typical girl driver' but as everyone said its a quirk, just like the squeaky boot and you learn to love it and live with itmy solution...lots of right foot (and twinkle toes) hardly had any problems since (obviously not saying rag your car whilst cold...just be a bit more generous...)

mukilupo Posted February 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Thanks Jen ,i will try giving it more welly in the morning and see what happens.Promise i will take care, not sure if i got twinkle toes though,Thanks again, i think i should just enjoy the car rather than worry about small things like that...............

Ryn Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Just to say I get the same with mine, it feels like the engine is not getting enough air.Can anybody tell me if they still get this with an aftermarket air intake fitted?Ryn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Yes, they still do it.IT IS NORMAL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 A bit slow on the uptake on this one, but mine does it too Never mind eh. ( I did look a bit of an idiot in front of my bf when i first drove it though, his face was like 'urgh, drive properly woman!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Aye, every time someone new is in the car you have to explain that it's a trait of the car and you do actually know how to drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Just to say I get the same with mine, it feels like the engine is not getting enough air.Its over fueling, not under fueling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 I control mine through gear changing.I can usually judge when it's going to happen in 2nd so change up to 3rd and when in 3rd change down to 2nd.Never seems to happen for me in 1st and due to where I live the car has usually warmed up enough by the time I get to 4th.When it does happen TSO giggles and comes up with her standard line: "I think you've bought a dud!"Both of my boots have started knocking in the last month! I thought I was going to escape this trait! Seems not!Damn, damn and double damn! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Mine only seems to happen in first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 (edited) My car is absolutely fine from cold, no sign of the infamous kangaroo! It's the first Lupo that I've had without any hassles. I've enjoyed reading this thread probably more than I should have (not wishing to capitalise on the misfortune of others!)Watch out for my future thread when my cambelt breaks!

Toi gulp Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 (edited) Mine does it too but only a little, but i find if i swap gears, or depress the clutch and give it a quick rev it's fine. Dont drop below 1200rpm. i think the gti likes revs.i dont think the lupo like's beeing driven slowly lol Edited April 21, 2008 by Toi gulp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryn Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Indeed I only get it in first gear too, if I come off the gas and then try to go again when I come up to a junction or something.Thanks for the info about over-fuelling Tigz, that is what I was implying when I said it wasn't getting enough air (to mix).

Guest A20NWK Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Also happens to mine! Glad I found this thread as I was starting to get paranoid and thought it would be something serious and/or expensive. I've only had it two weeks but I guess I'll have to live with it along with the infamous starter motor squeal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GtiJames Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Blast from the past! Dragged up from 2008 lol.Oh, and mine kangaroos from cold too. You learn how to use the throttle and clutch to balance it out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjbaker91 Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Bit of carb cleaner in the TB every few weeks seems to fix the problem for me ... As people keep saying, just be gentle with her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Mine does it even still in this weather. 1/2 mins down road and she's fine. I get it in 1st mainly 2nd and 3rd if I loosen on accelerator rather than brake lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
