Jimmie77 Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 just something thats on my mind.My Lupo i got a few weeks ago. The model is Lupo 1.4L. But some previous owner thought "Hey lets put in a 1.6L Engine". So it is a Lupo 1.6L 16v now i guess. BUT when i look at different models on wiki i c that the only 1.6 lupo was a 1.6L GTI. But the big letters on the Engine say only 1.6L 16v. It was suggested by a friend that it could be from a VW Golf or Polo or something. Can that be so? Is there a way to be sure what the hell is in there?And no i dont want to chase the owner who did the change cause its way back =P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarosa Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Try the engine code, I cant tell you where it would be though sorry, im sure someone will be along that can tell you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Some badges say 1.6 16v, some say GTI. Check the engine code as said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 If it is a GTI engine, it's far more likely to be from a Polo GTI than a Lupo GTI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobG Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 The bit where it says 1.6 16v is a badge that clips into the engine cover. Check on the right side near the coilpack, i think that's where the engine code is stamped onto the block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 I think Rich is saying it's a 1.4 with a 1.6 16v badge on the engine cover.Polo GTI bay...Lupo GTI bay... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmie77 Posted October 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 So the suggestion is that it is a 1.4 with Another "hat"? i can c the Pictures how they differ. But why would you change the numbers on the Engine but not on the cars back if you want to fake a bigger Engine?! There was a sticker attached to the left sied at some Point, i can c the markings. But the number also shows stamped underneith the plastic then you say? i have som trouble translating some Words and details im sorry.

arosa-beeftex Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 (edited) Try the engine code, I cant tell you where it would be though sorry, im sure someone will be along that can tell you.Takes away the guess work. Look either for a label in the boot or service book for a three letter engine code eg. AVY, AHW, AXP etc.I can't see a label on the timing belt cover to check it against.

Defcon5 Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 Of the engine block? What does the boot sticker say?Don't look on the mounts a lot of them are stamped AHB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmie77 Posted October 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 like i said the sticker is gone. i Went to the VW workshop and asked a mechanic if he knew where to find it. He checked and on the right side far in to land of Narnia (no easy spot) it sits. but it is not easy to read. i have to Clean it up and brush with steelbrush and c if i can get a glimps of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_273 Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 Looks suspiciously like a 1.4 16v as Rich has said, going off the location of the EGR valve anyway...Also, where's that pipe that comes out of the oil filler cap going to? That's not standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmie77 Posted October 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 I finally got VAG-COM working anyways. Theres a funcion in Win 7 that lets you run xp. so i can play with that anyways. Dunno if it can c anything. Does warn me about airbags can be damaged by running it! whats up with that??In any case i will scratch and Clean the area where the supposed "tag" is and c what i can read of it.

Jimmie77 Posted October 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 The Block say AUA like the original Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmie77 Posted October 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Could there be some other change made? like previous here said the pipe from the oilcap is not original. i Think it goes to something to give it heat at start or something. Its my mothers old car and when she bought it she was told the story what has been done to the Engine, but since she dont know anything about a car she said that it was a 1.6L and not a 1.4L. So somethings changed about it anyways and i want to know why. But it said AUA on the right side on the block Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmie77 Posted October 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 The pipe from the oilcap goes to the "Crankcase". I dont know if thats the correct English Word for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 55 kilowatts (75 PS; 74 bhp) @ 5,000 rpm; 128 newton metres (94 lbf·ft) @ 3,300 rpm — AHW, AXP, AKQ, APE, AUA, BCA, BBY, BKY Looks like an AUA and the breather tube looks like a bodge. Maybe the wrong (taller) oil filler extension? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_273 Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Have a traffic light Grand Prix against a GTI, and see if you can keep up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
