Hi Artūras. Congratulations on being 2nd, you're doing quite well for a car that big
Sorry for not pitching in earier, but I just noticed this thread today (that's what I get for hiking in the Pyrenees with no Internet when this thread was started).
My Pug has the same exact engine as Euromodder's Volvo and I like my SGII, but it is used in a slightly different way: My brother-in-law is a part-time car mechanic and my SG gets plugged into different cars every few weeks to look for problems and delete codes. With all this switching back and forth I have no chance to track my long term average, but I've saved some money by finding and deleting my codes (I'm sure the local Peugeot service station is thrilled). Plus I've found the input from different gauges has been more than helpful. For example, my car's coolant temperature gauge stops at 90°C, even when the SG showed 114°C (the fan was disconnected). If you get a SG for the Lupo you may test it in the Audi. If it doesn't work then maybe you'll have some luck the MPGuino?

Lucky lucky lucky! Unheard
has a Lupo 3L, so you may ask him if he's tried a ScanGauge. Vekke is planning on getting one, too.

Either your temperature gauge is off, or you should look for a better thermostat. Euromodder's and my engine stays at 78°-80°, apparently that's the best you will get when ecodriving such an efficient engine. We'd prefer closer to 90°C (
since a diesel likes to be warm with a CAI), but I don't know what else can be done.

P.S. Not the best time in year to test Lupo 3L

If you get hit by the same snow front that I see outside my window, then you'll have more than enough chances to drive in 15-20cm of snow...
