VW Lupo 3L --> 2L

[Vekke]

No Audi 3L either did come to Finland. I would also guess that those lightweight wheels were stock only on 3L versions. However you can buy them on ebay etc if you want them in you car.

Ok I thought so (no A2 nor 3L) to FIN.

Yes they were only used on the A2 & Lupo, and yes I was looking for the Lupo wheels for a while but then decided against it due to the distance away they are and since I was able to get the Miata wheels for more or less the same it would cost me to ship 4 wheels to the US ($135) I decided not to get Lupo wheels

Vekke, have you checked out the Eagle cruise control ?
Apparently, being a hand-throttle, it locks the fuel consumption, instead of the speed. It's also dead cheap

Came across it when reading through the mods done to the green Lupo 3L in that Dutch thread.

On one of the pics, you can also see the guy covered the sides of the engine with thermal insulation.

Eagle CC thread on the Dutch forum
Het 3-Liter Forum • Bekijkt onderwerp - Eagle "cruise control" -> praktijkverbruikcijfer videos p8

Page 8, scroll down for a couple of movies

In situation 2 the road goes a bit up and down, about halfway into the movie

In situation 3, the bloke adds gas to merge, then the CC kicks back in.


Yell if you see anything you want translated.

I have thinked about putting a hand throttle but not investigated that any more at the moment.

Can you access it by putting the link into Google and maybe use translate or cached? Could be someone else was blocked using a similar IP to you (first part same)?

Weird.

Their club webpage at
Welkom bij de enige door Volkswagen erkende Volkswagen lupo 3L club, alles over de drie liter lupo, en het bijbehorende 3-liter forum
completely locks up one of my browsers, and that's pretty rare

Come across this yet, Vekke?
www.wardtro.de Andre´ Pötzsch Oldtimer- und Youngtimer Stellplatz Vermietung - vom 3l VW Lupo zum 2-Liter

To me, the most remarkable feat seems his leaving out 1 of the 3 cylinders, thus reducing displacement from 1.2 to 0.8 l ...

Sadly though, he doesn't back up his 2L claim with any factual consumption figures.

Thanks for that link. I will send some guestions to him...

Do I need also LUPO badge in similar way?
