VW 2001 Lupo 1.4 16v

[lewisdmz]

Well guys, the GTI6 is fun and all but it's expensive to run. I'm going to look at a 1.4 16v Lupo (75bhp) with the plan to slam it until it scraps, put stickers all over it and drive at 15mph everywhere because it is so low.

NAAAAAAT.

My girlfriend needs a little car to commute in.

Seems like a pretty reliable car from what i've read so far, anyone have any experience of them or the VAG engine? Anything special to watch out for? It is due a cambelt if it hasn't already been done so I guess that is a good £300 bartering point?

I think the engine is also used in the Polo/Seat/Fabia? But haven't found an engine code yet to confirm this.

thanks in advance
