shao_khan Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Hiya, Not sure which versions had ac as an option - I know the GTi did, but not surre which others - quite often VW ddidnt offer it on smaller engined oil burners. As for points to watch as on clublupo.co.uk as you'll also find a few cars for sale there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjie Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 My friend has a/c on her 52 1.4tdi se polo, and another friend has a/c on his 1.4 16v petrol lupo. i think you have to specify it from the factory for a non-gti lupo.

Many thanks Adrian [/ QUOTE ] A/C wasn't standard on any Lupo's, and in the UK it was an eye-watering £940 option so it is very, very rare to find it fitted although it seems more common on GTI's than others. I'd get a quote for a retro-fit which could be near £1K, but you would get about £400 back come resale time. If you really want A/C I'd consider looking at an earlier A2 but then I would say that wouldn't I As for running costs, the 1.4TDI shares an engine with my A2 - VW dealers are cheaper than Audi dealers but I think the cambelt change on my A2 is £350 and I'm sure the VW price saves £100 on this. I'm not sure about the intervals as they keep on messing about with these on the A2 - earlier versions of the engine were every 60K/ 6 years, my Service book suggests 80K/ 8 yrs but I have just been told this is now revised to 4 years 40K!
