sixteenvalve1400 Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 This morning I bought a blue 1.4e Lupo. I knew the 16v would be a bit lively, however I have driven an Ibiza sport with the same engine and it seems so flat in comparison to this, definitely not standard (apart from the induction kit). So, I'd like to know if anyone knows who this car belonged to, what they did to it and possibly why they sold it. It was bought in Nottingham, and has been in this general area from new I assume:First 3 letters of the Reg are T68, it has a brand new throttle body and a BMC CDA induction kit and I think FK's all round (probably wrong)Anyway, Im in love with it and havent even picked it up yet.Liam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete91 Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 It's super charged mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 If its the AUB as you have tagged, then its got a 100bhp Sport engine in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixteenvalve1400 Posted May 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 It probably isn't the AUB then, ideas on which one it is supposed to be? The only engine code I'm 100% sure on is the ABF in my mk3 Golf.Its definitely not supercharged, more likely the Nurburgring sticker on the back is making it quicker...

Koop Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 That looks like an Arosa engine cover to me...Arosa sport engine perhaps?Though tbf I thought my S was pretty nippy, they weigh bugger all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixteenvalve1400 Posted May 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Bloody hell. What have I bought! I pick it up tomorrow, hopefully I can get the details of the last owner and ask him what this has Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Actually that could just be the earlier font, 6n valvers are the same. There is the curious lack of VW badge though so I may have stumbled across the answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixteenvalve1400 Posted May 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Well, I was so eager I picked it up this evening! It's home and outside. Very happy lupo owner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
