luiscamino Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 I've tried to search every then and now about a few parts that I need replacing, and still can't figure out if they're GTI specific or if I can buy anything "for Lupo" off eBay. 1. The undercarriage protection, what I believe you'd call "sump guard" (basically the plastic tray that protects the bottom of the engine compartment). This VW dealer wants 160€ for a new one ? 2. The sound dampening matt under the bonnet. For the life of me I've looked at dozens of pictures and can't see the difference between normal Lupos and GTIs. The dealer asks 85€ for this. 3. The sound dampening material behind the engine glued to the firewall. God knows what previous owners did but it is all torn and falling down. Don't even know if there's an actual replacement part for this or if VW just cuts material to shape. Probably charges 100s of € to replace it. So what you say? Would the normal Lupo parts fit a GTI?

Rich Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 normal lupos don't have the firewall guide, maybe the diesels do as well? umdercarriage one, same but you need the sides too? under the bonnet is the same on all if they have it.

lupogtiboy Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 (edited) The bonnet damper fitted to a GTI and a 1.4 TDI is the same part but has been obsolete from VW since 2015, it was £92.98 inc vat. I did try one I found on a 1.4 16V Lupo but it was different to the GTI one. The engine undertray is GTI specific and £171.67 inc vat from VW, jokers!

Rich Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 is the engine one the same as a 6n2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sound deading is a standard part I believe. The main thing you will need is clips. It is not fitted on 1.0ltr models though. Not sure on 3l Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 i might be thinking mk4 golf with the sides. clips can be stolen from other models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupogtiboy Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 This is what ETKA shows for the GTI undertray, and this is pretty much what mine looks like: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupogtiboy Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 And this is the info for the bonnet damper, shows the GTI and TDI version is different to any other model: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luiscamino Posted May 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 (edited) that bonnet illustration looks nothing like a Lupo bonnet anyway, I'm happy to report I bought that eBay damping and it's fitted perfectly. I'm just missing one clip now edit: now to really sort out my bonnet… see that missing rubber sealing at the top left of the photo, left of the VW emblem cutout? that would be nice to fix, but I can't find the part anywhere. VW dealer says it's not available anymore. any ideas? I even considered buying a damaged lupo bonnet just for that piece of rubber but seems like overkill...

Blue Loop Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 AFAIK that rubber trim is not unique to the GTi models (if I'm wrong, I hope someone corrects me) so you should be able to find it quite easily in a breaking yard over there in Germany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 scrappy time! I have a 6n2 undertray out and my lupo is in the air, trial pic tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
