heartagram Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 DIesel is boring. Especially in a small car like a Lupo. You want to hear it at high RPM. Not clattering at 4k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heartagram Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 It probably does sound sick. Most diesels sound sick because they are being powered by liquid illness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VolkswagenDan Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 I love the diesel comments haha...To be honest, I like the laziness and torque of a diesel. Each to their own. If we all drove the same car life would be very boring. That's why we modify them. To be unique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartagram Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Diesel is okay. But you can't say a 1.4 3cyl turbo diesel sounds better than a 1.6 16V petrol. Diesel lupos sound crap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heartagram Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 I'm assuming it still has the same diesel engine though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mini-man-dan Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 (edited) A little bit different I know but I've had a lupo gti, polo gti 6n2 and a 9n polo tdi 1.9.I would go for the diesel any day now. Ok its not a lupo but its bigger brother. Keep it in mind if you want something quick and economical. Mines running about 220bhp and still does 55mpg at 75mph. 160-180 bhp is achievable pretty cheaply, any higher involves more expensive turbo and intercooler.Not driven a 1.4tdi lupo, did try a 9n Polo and really hated how gutless it was off boost. Like pulling away or driving slowly round a round a bout, if you were slightly off boost it did absolutely nothing. I found myself having to change down from 2nd to 1st gear whilst still moving to get it back on boost to keep up with traffic. However the 1.9tdi is a completely different ball game. Shame it was never put in a lupo, would've been a true gti beater!When you've got going the 1.4 pulls well, but my gti was much more fun to drive and had more character. The ideal in my opinion? A GTI with a tuned 1.9tdi in... Reality if it has to be a lupo? Gti. Edited December 3, 2012 by mini-man-dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooper_GTI Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 I don't think a 1.9 PD engine is worthy of a GTI badge in any car to be honest.A GT TDI maybe, but the top spec GTI needs a petrol engine to be a true enthusiasts car.

James827 Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 you are a noob.GTI originaly was to do with the engines aswel as trim.the GTI's were the only MK1 AND MK2 petrol golfs with Injection.Conicidence?GT refered to the trim.
