20 Years Since Top gear did a lap of the M25
lupogtiboy replied to lupo1.0se's topic in London and South East
I don't have either a Sport or a TDI, but would definitely be interested in this! -
On a GTI it is the sidelight and full beam, it's in addition to the Xenon full beam. If the main headlights are off and you flash someone, they will light up and not the main headlight, but they also come on with the xenon on high beam when the xenon is switched on.

If you're going down the twin-charger route, get one from a Mk5 golf, not a Mk6. The Mk5 version has stronger pistons and block, the Mk6 version tends to break the top of the piston off due to the stresses of always being on boost and VW cheapness.

Engine Dies, But Restarts 1.4 16v Likely Causes?
lupogtiboy replied to scotty2's topic in Volkswagen Lupo
Could also be the MAP sensor on the end of the inlet manifold, quite prone to becoming dirty over the years. Would also explain the 'air flow' fault? -
I saw this parked up in Reigate near where I live on Saturday! Was shocked to see an Anthracite Grey GTI in the flesh, I thought I was dreaming!

Driver's side is still available from VW, passenger side is obsolete

The fuel pump will make a noise when you first open the driver's door, as it's the pump priming. It sounds like something getting hot and failing after a while, so could be a relay on it's way out

Change rear axle - ANY 1.2TDI 45kW/61HP 0603/505 - CY 2002
lupogtiboy replied to Mardrignac's topic in Volkswagen Lupo
Not all rear axles are the same on Lupo's 6X0 500 047 is for models without rear anti-roll bar (PR code OBA) 6X0 500 047 A is for models with rear anti-roll bar (PR code OBB) 6E0 500 047 is a GTI rear axle -
What a stunner!

May be worth taking to a friendly garage and seeing if they have an MOT ramp with a headlamp aim machine, they can set them correctly

New Member - Question about wheels on LUPO GTI
lupogtiboy replied to Shivas Regal's topic in New member?
I think they're the best wheels on a GTI as well! -
New Member - Question about wheels on LUPO GTI
lupogtiboy replied to Shivas Regal's topic in New member?
They will fit but probably use rubber band tyres! The Up! GTI has 195/40 r17s as standard on a 6.5j x 17 alloy, I'd imagine you'd have to run a 35 profile or less tyre to get clearance in the arches. -
Pm me your reg and i'll have a look for you

I run 205/40 r17 Uniroyal Rainsport 5s on mine, a massive improvement on the crap Goodyears

GTI Headlight washers ends - where to get.
lupogtiboy replied to Mattz341's topic in Car Care, Maintenance and Mechanical
There are a couple of people on eBay who 3d print these now -
Most people have swapped to a 195/45 R15, I did many years ago due to lack of choice with the OE size. I can highly recommend Uniroyal Rainsport, they are by far the best tyre I've ever fitted to my gti

It's an SE in the UK, but it is quite a rare car. Nice find!

GTI xenon lights flicker
lupogtiboy replied to Will Cheyney's topic in Car Care, Maintenance and Mechanical
If the battery on mine goes flat, then when I get it started again, the Xenons flicker as the battery is being charged by the alternator, then as soon as it has enough charge, they stop flickering. -
If yours is a 16V engine, VW used the silicon sealant for the camshaft housing from the factory, so you won't fit a rubber gasket that fits anywhere! VW part number for the sealant is D 188 003 A1

Engine Dies, But Restarts 1.4 16v Likely Causes?
lupogtiboy replied to scotty2's topic in Volkswagen Lupo
I recently changed the crank sensor on my GTI, was a pain in the ass to do. Mine was fine until it warmed up, then it would jump, like it had a massive misfire, then drive with about half the power it should have. When it first did it, I turned it off then on again and it was fine, but after a week or so, it brought the EPC light on. I've now fitted a new sensor and all is well again! -
Anyone happen to know where I can get a breather pipe from
lupogtiboy replied to TimTeece's topic in Volkswagen Lupo
It's obsolete from VW now, but the part number is 028 103 493 AA -
I just looked when it was originally posted, March 2012! Weird as I clicked on the 'New Posts' tab at the top and it came up!
