Hi everyone,

Looking for some advice. I've been looking at getting a small runabout for my wife to use and have found a VW Lupo, I know it's much the same as the Arosa, and since I've been on this forum since first buying my Toledo I'm hoping for some pearls of wisdom.
The Lupo is great. Well looked after, very clean, fairly low miles. But it has a misfire. The misfire is only there when idling. It isn't noticeable when driving. Any ideas? Would be good to know what to look at specifically as possible causes before buying it (in case it turns out to be something more serious like an injector etc).
