Yeah it's fairly easy to do exactly how rich said! Did it on my last lupo after the clicking noise became almost permanant! Most annoying part is getting the airbag off!

I haven't managed to find anyone with a spare bootlid, so I've been looking into getting a new loom for this and I've found the part number for it, which is 6E0 971 145 E and a website selling one https://www.online-teile.com/volkswagen-ersatzteile/6E0971145E_Wiring-Set.html If I buy this though, will it include everything on the loom like i'd removed it from the car, or will all the clips and fixings need buying seperately? May sound like a stupid question but its not very clear on etka whats included.

Nah, I saw those on ebay but I'd rather just replace the whole loom to be honest.

Don't want to start a new topic for this as it's related, but does anyone know if you can get a new tailgate wiring loom from VW and how much it would be?

Looks very nice in black, have to admit!

Still looking for one!

forgot to update, but this has now been sold.

Standard front ARB is 22mm

nice one, cheers!

Anyone selling one? As a long shot a raven blue one, but I'm not overly fussed on colour as long as the wiring loom is intact!

Just a quick bump to say if anybody wants to take this off me this weekend. They can have it for 3 grand!

yeah they're the ones!

Just adding to this to say the car now has a full year's MOT after getting a CV boot replaced. And if anyone offers £3500 you can have the standard alloys and the BBS 764's which are the rare 16" version of these BBS wheels.

I'm Selling my GTi as I have bought another one, Going to advertise it elsewhere but for now I'm just putting it up on here. I've owned the car for three years and in that time I have had the cambelt/waterpump done, two new window regulators, a new handbrake cable,and replaced the spoiler brake light. This year it's had all new brake discs and pads, and two new balljoints, new track rods and wishbones which are polybushed. The car has a Janspeed catback exhaust which has the twin pipes so still looks OEM and AP coilovers but it's not lowered massively or anything and I still have all the original suspension which you can have with the car. I also have all the rear wiper stuff which will be included incase you want to put it all back. Other than that it is standard. The car has a full service history, done roughly every 7 thousand miles and there's loads of receipts for thing's that have been done over the life of the car. It will also have a full year's MOT that I am getting done tomorrow. Current mileage is 86954 but that will increase slightly as I am still using the car for now. Obviously for a 16 year old car the paintwork isn't flawless but when its cleaned and polished it looks very nice! The EPC light is on for an implausible brake light signal, I have replaced the brake switch with a genuine VW one and all the brake light's function properly, not sure if it's just a case of resetting the light but there are no issue's with this at all and it's never really bothered me. The starter motor occasionally does the VW squeak but again that's never really bothered me much either! Only have a few pics for now, I will get a few more when it's daylight. Price I'm after is around £3500 though I'm willing to listen to offers, and i'm based in Manchester. DM me for any more info, cheers.

I would say that due to the rarity and desirabilty of GTI's, the fact it's an import wouldn't really have any kind of detrimental effect on the value. I don't see it as a negative and I was actually looking at getting one before the blue one I ended up getting popped up!

Nope, nothing then either. Had a go this morning.

Rather than down the road though it takes about an hour of driving roughly to come on, not really relative to any sudden bumps in the road or anything like that. It's very odd. Edit: This has just popped in my head actually, the stereo hasn't forgotten any settings or anything when it comes on, which would suggest it is constantly getting power?

Gonna get myself a multimeter and have a look when I get chance, cheers.

In my new GTI the stereo only seem's to work after I've been driving the car for a while, it won't switch on or show any signs of life, then all of a sudden it bursts into life when i'm driving along. It's definitely not the stereo because it does the exact same with two different ones i've tried...Things I maybe think it is (shot's in the dark to be honest) bad earth/wire damage perhaps or battery not strong enough? Noticed theres some greenish gunk around the battery connections aswell, dunno if that's significant? The car had barely been used before I got it so could it maybe be the alternator? It's very odd, once it does finally come on it works totally fine

Was it on Ebay? didn't realise! I saw it on Auto Trader and it was only up the road so I went and stuck a deposit down sharpish! Considering it's only on 59k with leather seats and air con it was ridiculously cheap, so cheap in fact I wouldn't want to say what I paid for it ha! Didn't know that about the 03's being the last year of Raven blue either, interesting!

Cheers! Relatively low mileage, leather seats and air con aswell! Got myself a right bargain! I've only swapped over the Cambridge lights and the Stereo, I'm gonna sell the BBS splits separate and the rest will be staying on the black one. Gutted to lose the exhaust but I don't have the mean's to swap them over unfortunately.

So this happened... Will be selling the black one. Gonna be looking at around £3500 for it on 87000miles. Will put up a post in the selling section soon

Might possibly have just bought another GTI now I'm looking for an exhaust for it, preferably Janspeed as I don't want to change the Twin pipe look and I like how the Janspeed's sound!

Just had a look, Very helpful cheers! I've just replaced my wishbones and saw the state of all the ARB bushes while I was at it. So they are next on the list!

Just got one working for Firefox aswell! Nice one!
