Chazbob Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Hello just thought i'd ask a few q's before i buy a lupo sport. There is one in black with the red trim interior ect i want but i just wanted to know of any common faults with these cars? I've heard the gearbox's tend 2 be naff on these? Or is that just because of people raggin the tits off em? Any common faults or troubles with this car will be appreaciated so i can get a heads up on whats comming. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliveski Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 The pedal box can brake - do a search for more info.Timing belt tensioner can snap early - make sure the whole timing belt kit is changed every 40,000 or 4 years (which ever comes soonest) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkycooljem Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 the pedal box on mine broke, kinda felt like u need to push the clutch down a bit more but its already down, and it crunched every time i put it into reverse! also a few of my mates have had problems with piston rings going at around 70k. and also drinkin oil! another thing to keep an eye out for is the exhaust filling up with water coz it sticks out of the back of the car and points upward, my garage drilled a small hole at the bottom of mine and about 5 litres came out!hope this helps and good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
