hunid-brake Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 That one with the gti bumpers looks pretty impressive. Done a pretty good job with the spoiler too. Funny looking thing from angles as im used to the gti arches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshLoop Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 (edited) I always thought the 3L had a different lower bumber on the rear than a standard lupo? Or is this just me being a mong again?Edit: It doesnt have 3L steering wheel either? Edited February 25, 2011 by JoshLoop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forsh21 Posted February 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 That's what I fort but if you look on that website most of the 3L's don't have the 3L steering wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaileyVW Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 (edited) I'm slightly confused too... and as Ben says Its not a 3L....

JoshLoop Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Right I'm now confused lol these cars are down as FSI which I fort was the 3L what's the difference?Posted 11 May 2008 - 02:10 PMlets put some things right about 3L and fsi.the fsi is pretty much the same car as the 3L. same alu wings, same front bumper (except other grille), doors from alu and the same weired shaped boot-lid. same straight side-skirts.i think it came with the same 14" magnesium wheels. only real difference is the rear bumper, the fsi has a normal lupo bumper, the 3l has that kind of mud-flap-like design, similar to the gti.interiour-wise both 3L and fsi have the golf mk3 seat consoles (whereas all other lupos have the mk4 consoles), the light-weight seats. i think the fsi has the standart steering wheel though, the 3L has that minimalistic magnesium wheel.as RAB said, it has vw´s first mass-production fsi engine, 1400cc. it comes (as the 3L) with many lightweight parts, such as pretty much the entire front axle from alu. both cars need other coilies than normal lupos and there is no after-market anti-rollbar for them. the fsi has disc-brakes in the rear, the 3L some lightweight drums.the biggest misery about both fsi and 3l is the gearbox. no manual versions sold at all. unfortunately, its neither a normal automatic gearbox with torque-converter, nor the dsg high-tech stuff. its some automated manual box, pretty much the same bull**** as in the mk1 smart. it takes ages for shifting, this is what makes it so slow and unsporty to drive.the 3L has a switch for two modes, one for saving gas and one for beeing a bit quicker. it turns the boost up and down, depending on the mode. on efficiency mode, it turns off the engine as soon as the car stops (like hte new bmw´s. except there is no clutch, to tell the car to turn back on ).also, the actuator of that gearbox brakes pretty much regularly and isnt cheap.converting either car to a standart gearbox is mechanically possible of course, but its a hell lot of work to get the electrical side working, you must do major reprogramming to the entire can-bus system. AFAIK, no one has gone through that before. it would be well worth it though in my eyes, the fsi engine has quite a lot of power and the car is lighter than the gti. plus its really good on gas.

Brammo Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Except the the 3l is a manual 1.2tdi that does awesome mpg and the fsi is a 1.4 auto which does whack mpg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can change gear quicker than any equivalent manual car and far faster than a Smart. Both the 3L and the FSI (5L) were built for maximum fuel economy so their lack of 'performance' should not come as too much of a suprise. The gear actuators are actually very reliable; 90% are changed unnecesarily due to the inability of the diagnostics to spot other faults, mainly expired accumulators. There is a clutch but no clutch pedal!RAB Edited March 15, 2011 by RAB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
