Sirsmudge125 replied to sciroccotune's topic in Volkswagen Lupo
These motor for the electric windows.... how hard are they to mount? any ideas? -

I just did something like this on my dads Evo 9... Get a touch up paint kit admitadly, if you look t it really closely you can see a dip in the paint work where the scratch is but its hard to see looking at it even closely Halfords sell good kits but its worth while getting one from your mian local dealer All the best tom x

Me - "Hi im needing to order a new pedle box for my Lupo Reg X*** ***" Bloke - "...And what happend to the old one?" me - "Gone for a walk... It broke lol" Bloke - "okay well you will need to bring it in first as i dont think you know what breaks off the pedle box" me - " No.. your right... Although..." Bloke - "...What?" me - "Im holding something... oh wait.. its part of the pedle box" Bloke - "are you sure?" me - "i took it off the pedle box.. im pretty damn sure.." Bloke - "okay well for £45 quid we cn check it out for you a quick inspection?" me - "Good bye" BEEEEEEEEEEEEP okay not a lie... but they were useless

VW and the pedal box issue?!
Sirsmudge125 replied to Dixon's topic in Car Care, Maintenance and Mechanical
Hey rob, The symptoms which ive got and heard of my self are : Grinding into reverse. Hard to change into gear (for me Especialy 1st - 2nd) a nice creaking sound when you put your foot down on the clutch pedal And a main give away is the Clutch pedal is lower than that of the Break. The part that sheers off is like the stop for the pedal. so if it was to go... youd have to really put your foot down in order for the clutch to even remotly work. One last thing, look beind the clutch pedal and youll see the stop im talking about, the clutch cable is fed thoughn there. There will be a crack or signs of fatigue on the side of the uni where it connects to the rest of the pedal box. Hope this helps tom -
Hey sounds like the same roblem i had with mine... What i did was i took off the hydraulic breaking cylinder... turned out the notches which hold the break shoes central and flat with the rum inner diameter had snapped and bent off so when i took the drunk off, the shoes went with the drum.. easiest way is to remove the Break cylander and then blead the breaks when finished.. new parf form GSF auto parts i think was about a £10 or less... this might not be it but it sounds a hell of a lot what happened to mine. Hope it helps and sorry for the lateness of this message youve probrably finished it now X

Hey. VW have said to me... For lupos.. "If the car is under 5 years of age and under 999,999 miles. we cna do it Free of charge" which then i thought... a million miles in 5 years? Is it really possible? -
**** hot stuff man! how much for the grey plastic trims on the Dash of a lupo (Air con vent trims) big bit of trim leading down to the console and the button console itself. looking for a carbon fibre vynyl.
