Is that a UK Lupo that has been exported to Japan?!

Pics on the ultimate gearbox thread... You can swap it from the outside if you're very careful (as it's easy to score the shaft). The easy solution, unless it's pouring out is to simply keep topping up every year, via the speedo pickup hole. The level is right when the plastic gear is half covered.

And also what would be the oem number for the seal?

I'm a bit late on this thread but does this DIY manual work on 2003 arosa 1.4 mpi 60bhp 8v 5speed manual? Repair shop said that they would need to take off the gearbox and replace it from the inside...

Thanks man! Fingers crossed the person I bought it off will continue to make them for the little guy. They'd make a couple more sales that's for sure!!

I didn t know...

I don't really know yet🤣😅 the car has a lot of issues unfortunately. The car parts should arrive this week and I found some oil leaks underneath the car🤦🏼🤦lucky me

Like the gaiter btw! I need one too

They are called “exip”

Beautiful car! What do you think of the 1.4 16v engine? Do you like how it pulls?

Brap initiated.

Ok! I will check the sills , but they are kitted out because they had rust. I will try to remove the engine when I will have enough time. How much do you think I could get for the rims?( not that I want to sell them, although I would love to have some BBS RS ) Thanks for all advice!

Thats the most expensive reason to disassemble your car. You can apply to work at breakeryard for a day.

You can remove the engine under tray and wing liners to check everything. You can see from below the car. You don't need to remove the wings and bonnet. I would check inside the sills for corrosion. You need to remove the rubber bungs to have a look. If necessary, you can spray more wax inside when it is dry. 👍🏻

Thanks! I think it really look good! I want to remove some parts because I want to know my car perfectly...

The old one should come out if you bend the pushed-down tabs back up. When you install the new one, push the tabs down to lock it in place

Nice car! Welcome to Club Lupo

Hi, I'm Cris and I live in Portugal. Three weeks ago I bought this Lupo as my daily driver. It has around 105 000 miles and it belonged the last two years to a lady. On the first day I drove 100 miles without a problem till the key was stuck on the driver's door ( fixed). And after two weeks the car stopped after appearing the oil light. ( I have done a basic maintenance oil(5w40) and filters). I believe the thinner oil helped💪🏻 It has oil and the coolant level is on the point. So piston rings,connecting rod covers( google translated), O2 sensor, spark plugs, oil pump, new clutch cable and clutch. Now I will begin my journey😅🤣 Waiting for the car parts to start the repair. Unfortunately we started with the wrong foot. So I am a car enthusiast for a few years, normally I like the small "old" cars that have some pedigree. My main goal is to keep the car as original as possible. The outside needs the 16v badge at the front grille and redone the back lettering (it's not straight) The inside I need to fix my seat( it doesn't flip the seat forward 🤦🏼) HELP New radio Upholester the steering wheel and side panels( original color) So my English isn't the best at all, I hope you all understand it💪🏻

Excellent. I'll message them. Thanks 👍🏻

Hey hey, an open air with BBS alloys! Nice 👍🏻 Why do you need to remove everything? That is a lot of work... It looks good.

I tryed that and it did not helped me at all, but luckily the handle is big enough to grab and twist it with all kind of tools.

I used a giant screwdriver I had where the handle would fit in the plastic groove.

What do you think?
