Andrew1971 Posted November 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 Hi All The lupo i was looking at is a no go (dont ask) So getting mine done is going to take a little longer then expected but it will get done. Now another plan has to thought of. Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew1971 Posted January 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Hi All An update. Got A few parts for the Lupo so it can run and a bonnet this is the bit i am unsure on. You can see the gap difference on both side's i have tried adjusting on the hinge's still the same. And to top it off i now i am not getting garage so it out all the time. We now have come to the point on is it still worth doing. Finding the part's it's going slow. The biggest job on it is the dash board the passenger air bag went off. How big a job would it be to put an other dash board in. So i am a little bit unsure to carry or get rid. Anyone got any idea's Andrew  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Dash isn't that hard, take yours out first though That should adjust out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 It's looking good... keep going. Adjust it at the hinge and the corner stops. Loosen everything then keep tweaking till it sits right. You may need to adjust the centre catch on the slam panel too (you can't do it till the catch is in). Yeah any Lupo dash will do. Shame it wasn't the driver's side airbag. Much easier, as it's in the steering. just bumper, lights, alternator, grill and grille surround and you're back in business! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew1971 Posted January 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 Thank You All For The Reply's. Just the little encouragement needed.This is where i am at now . Still got a bumper to fit. The bonnet gap is still the same so i think it's the wing is at fault slightly warped right now i can live with that. Now waiting till payday to get more part's. Many Thank's Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 Is it a gen wing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 Looking good! You've done a fair bit already. Not much left to do now by the looks of things. Maybe a day or a weekend of time needed. Get any used bumper/front setup and have a local place spray it. Do the prep work yourself to save a handful of cash. keep us updated with progress  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew1971 Posted January 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 @Rich it looks like it's never been off paint on all bolts look intact. I assume yes. I will be making a little shopping list soon for parts needed. I will keep updates. Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 The key is the seam by the two bolts in the sill. If it is intact all is good. I've seen them where they just don't seem to line up, I'd worry on it later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew1971 Posted January 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 (edited) @Rich cheers for the tip. How do you remove a lupo dash. Does the steering wheel have come of. If so how. Many Thanks Andrew Edited January 15, 2019 by Andrew1971 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 There has to be a dash how to somewhere. Steering wheel is 24mm socket, airbag is a screwdriver and skill, has it popped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew1971 Posted January 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 (edited) No air bag hasn't popped. Thankfully Found it steering wheel removal. Well I can't get air bag form the steering wheel that silly spring. Here's hoping I can get the dash off with it on. 4 x10mm nuts to come of then fingers crossed. How do remove the big plastic bit from under the wipers. Andrew Edited January 16, 2019 by Andrew1971 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew1971 Posted January 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Hi Still can't steering wheel off. I followed the guide now I am stuck.. Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sausage Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) The airbag removal bit or the steering wheel itself? Remove column plastics. Short flat head screwdriver, you probably have to turn the wheel to get it in the holes and with the flat bit angled in line with the round spring thing, you are hooking the spring inwards not outwards. Plenty of vids out there. Disconnect battery for a bit before as well, just in case.... Steering wheel should come off easy enough.

Skezza Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 The worst part of removing the steering wheel is the airbag. It takes a certain technique and it's very random. You can also accidentally catch the cabling and damage it, if you're not careful. I've just fitted cruise control on the A4, and honestly, removing the steering wheel on that is a dream.

Andrew1971 Posted January 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Thank you all for replying. Got steering wheel off I was going gently more force was needed. Passenger air bag is off as is the dashboard. It will be easier next time Now I know how to do it.

Rich Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 If you practice the airbag with the wheel off you will soon master it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
