benmic92 Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 (edited) Hi Everyone,a few weeks ago i bought my first German car, a 1999 VW Lupo in what looks like post-it-note yellow with full service history and every mot since the car was new, long MOT and tax, i paid £800 for it which seemed fairly cheap. it has covered 64000 and is the 1.4s model. I think its the AHW engine?I drive a 2001 Subaru impreza and this is my sensible economical run about for travelling to work (250 miles a week)I would like to fit anthracite G60's with a stretch and Lower it as far as realistically possibly on coilovers 100mm maybe a little more?, paint the roof gloss black and fit cambridge rear lights, carbon wrap some of the interior and fit a double din dvd headunit. nothing too much as its only a second car.it has a small dent that I will have fixed when I have the money, it can be seen in the pic below.I have nothing to compare it to but it seems a bit noisy engine tappy/rattly (reminds me a bit my old 1.3 C reg escort)I and am looking for advice on it in another post in the Model Specific Section of Lupo with a link to a youtube video of my car. so please have a gander I just want comparison against others with the same engine.anyway hello and see you all around on the forum.

fatttty Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Nice I have just brought a yellow 1.4E as my second car. I owned a GTI for 3 years before this, great little cars. In my experience the 1.4 75bhp engine is a little tappy and rattly, though nothing too extreme. Mine is the 75bhp and its fairly quiet but still noisier than say my GTI. What engine has yours got?Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What engine has yours got?Alexi assume its the 75bhp one, on the top cover it said 1.4 16v and the model is the 1.4s on the vin plate it says AHW not sure if thats the engine code. after a good engine flush and some decent oil at the weekend I thrashed it a little on the motorway on the way home this evening and i must say it seems a lot quieter now, might do another flush and oil change in 3-4k and see how it goes, Edited October 2, 2012 by benmic92 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
