Thanks very useful! I’ll await @Rich expert opinion 😎 any links to where I can buy some is also appreciated. Thanks guys!

Anyone know of any suppliers of these now? dealers can’t order them apparently. Struggling! ordered from autodoc on another thread but came and doesn’t seem to be right. need a full pair ideally.

Hello, ordered from the link which I thought was both sides? only one arrived but doesn’t look right, the middle hole isn’t long enough? wondering where people are getting ball joints for a gti from please?

Hi, I think I've deduced the answer to this one myself, however is there a difference between the 1.0AUC Clutch and the 1.4 16v you'd use with an AFH engine? They're the same diameter from what I can see but different part numbers. I'm more curious as I think I've put a 1.0 clutch on my AFH and in less than 100 competitive miles it's now slipping! Not a topic I'm overly knowledgeable on so any informed input would be appreciated!

Sorry but that doesn’t answer the question. Thanks though.

Hi, I’m wondering if anyone has a record anywhere of the resistance range of the fuel level sender. From some research on other sites I’ve found: 286 Ohms Empty 39 Ohms Full but it would be good to confirm. many thanks.

Hi again all. Thought I'd return for a bit of a discussion. It's becoming more apparent that VW are dropping items from production / stock, and as such some parts are harder to come by. I thought it would be interesting to try and compile a somewhat list of those "Rare" parts, whether they simply be OEM replacement parts, or even aftermarket ones. So if I kick it off: Lupo GTI Ball Joints ABT Grilles Lupo GTI Headlight Washer Jets & Covers

In the words of Donald Trump, "Fake News". Fitted an LED panel to replace my interior and had no flickering issues. Even when I did this some years back on my first Lupo I had no issues just with a regular festoon LED. Although, I will caveat that with some do stay lit very dimly when the light is still turned off. Soon fixed this with a resistor across the +ve & -ve of the light.

Aha, the window regulators are too fiddly for me! Not a problem on the rally car with polycarbonate windows.. maybe that’s the way to go lol. I’ll do some more fiddling around with the reg and see what I can do to free it up.

Motor seems to work fine on its own. I’ve 3 regulators (new and old) here at the moment And none of them are “finger push” easy... IMG_4529.MOV

Hello, recently replaced the regulator in my drivers side window and used the original motor. The window is very slow to go up and down, even without the glass in the regulator takes a while to go up. The motor also overheats during the process. wondering where is best to get replacements? Other than VW who want £280 a side including discount ...

Will get some springs or something ordered this week.. It's going to bug me too much to put off for much longer...

I wondered how long until someone noticed it... Yeah eventually I'll be lowering ever so slightly (30mm probably max) - there is quite a big gap. probably not aided by the 195/45/15 tyres... Not yet, still got the box sat here waiting to get it down there

Car back and the team dynamics on. I think this will be the further from OEM I’ll make the car look. Think it’s a nice change and the grey looks good against the black!
