Keelan Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 I didnt realise the subframes where different. I knew they share the same wishbones bushes and ball joints as the others (except GTi (and maybe 3L?)) And I know tou cant fimd a poly bush dogbone for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiggy Posted July 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 Hi guys, Bought a Lupo TDi the other day as a doner for my 1.0L . I'm assuming I've made life as easy as possible for myself by doing it this way ( rather than getting a Tdi polo ) I have both lupos side by side in the shed and we'll literally just swap everything over, so I don't see there being any problems ( if I've overlooked something feel free to point it out! ). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One small thing, the Lupo TDI is LHD, so concerns have been raised about the loom, as the clocks / fusebox / ECU are on opposite sides in the cars so the wires may not stretch but I'm thinking if I picked up a loom from a same year RHD Lupo/Arosa/Polo Tdi and just used that it should be fine? Or is that even a concern. Also the clutch in the 1.0L is cable and the TDi is hydro so again they are on opposite sides in the engine bays of each car but I assume it will just bolt across into my car?

Rich Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 You have opened a sneaky can of worms here. You need a GTI/tdi pedalbox and the clutch line. Ideal world, you should find a rhd loom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
