Anyone on here play guitar? post a pic of yours ...

Here's a few quick pics of my lupo gti that I bought today. It's got pretty good miles at 77k and the wheels were refurbed in anthracite by the previous owner about 6 months ago. It's sitting on eibach coils and has CDA induction and a powerflow exhaust. The splitter is from a cupra R and there's a momo wheel inside, looks like a 28, got a decent Sony head unit but the speakers need upgrading so any suggestions would be welcome on that front I've got a private plate to transfer on to it and it could be doing with a stubby mirror for the drivers side. The window regulator is gone so that's first on the list to get done but it's pretty much a blank canvas!

if money was bountiful...

Hi, I have a 1.4tdi and I initially noticed that the gearstick rattled really badly at idle. I can stop the rattle by firmly pushing the gearstick left or right as far as it will go. Also, sometimes I can hear a slight whirring noise when the clutch bites in 1st gear. Usually when cold starting. The car has done 115k miles and has never had a clutch change or a flywheel change.

Is it hard changing a clutch on a 1.ol mpi lupo??

Some of you may disagree with me on this, but as I was going through the Archive/How To, I realized that we seem to lack basic instructions for fairly fundamental tasks while being overloaded with 'vanity' tutorials so to speak. I'm not saying these are bad, I intend on writing one or two myself when I get chance (we need a proper one for RCL which I will write over the next few days), but it seems strange that we don't have a single tutorial for replacing a headlight bulb on a non-GTI Lupo. This isn't the easiest task in the world for a novice, yet there's not a single description on how to do it. Another one that's missing is how to replace a Brake Light Switch. Why? It's a really simple task, but not if you don't know where to look! I'm not suggesting that the current information isn't useful. I'm just saying perhaps we need to look at compiling more tutorials, on more basic subjects as well as more complicated. I'm expecting a load of abuse here or 30 "why don't you write them then" comments, but like I said, just an observation.

With starting up the new business, I don't really need a car as I'm driving the van, and SWMBO has a rather nice Golf for the family. However there are times when a man needs a little project... plus my daughter will soon be 17 so something small, safe and economical was needed. Enter... Doris ...a 2004 VW Lupo SDI Pulsing 60bhp naturally aspirated diesel, £30 per year road tax, eleventy billion miles to-the-gallon and a mere £100-odd quid to insure. Full service history (76,000 miles), MoT'd for a year, four new tyres, towbar (ideal for the bikes) and as scruffy as a scruffy thing... Welcome to my blog-type thread covering Doris' titivation and rejuvenation

I've seen this idea on a few forums now. How about we start a photo of the day thread? There seem to be a fair few of us on here with at least some interest in photography so just an opportunity to post some good photos up for people to appreciate or comment on RULES: 1. one pic per member per day 2. must be the work of the poster 3. try to keep the images to a reasonable size to assist viewing. A link to the full res version may be posted if required. 4. please respect others images and ask permission before using elsewhere or downloading to your computer (Added by Silver! 14 Oct 08 as the original rules seem to have disappeared)

I have a 1.0l mpi lupo and the clutch is knackard !! What are they like to change any advice???

Hi all, I know the polo 6n2 gti and the lupo use the same engine code but are the throttle bodies the same?

Hi folks, Tried to look for similar topic but couldn't find anything really, unless I wasn't looking that hard I want to wire up the garmin unit for the Mrs in the Lupo and I want to hide all the wires etc. I'd like to get a switch to power it on/off and there is plenty of room under the a/c controls (few blank covers there) The question is are there many choices available for the Lupo apart from heated rear window switch? I know there is quiet a few for the Golfs, so perhaps Loopy has them too ? Thanks for any info, Stan

Hello, I'm looking for some bathhurst gti wheels and was wondering if anyone was selling or new someone that is, Cheers rich

Not looked in Reader's rides for a while and noticed some more nice cars, maybe this should be in there with a sticky for interesting other reader's rides. Few more vx220s out there to add and must be others for the list, other than the diesels which aren't interesting enough.

Time of year when I start looking for replacement wheels. Running out of BMW options I think (though z4m or a v8 might be fun) tempted by something older and more interesting but it needs to be reliable and used as a daily so approved used warrenty is usually what I go for. Last few cars for those who don't keep up: 3lr Z4 E85 m sport with the sound generator modification and a few other custom bits and enjoyed the sound and handling though the ride was pretty shocking and it needed plenty of things replaced under warranty (wheels, steering rack, rear springs etc.) Mover to an E46 M3 which I loved, but got married and the running costs were getting too high to justify. Best engine and fantastic m-diff, loved the sound, space and handling and always felt special. Down side being the boot floor cracks, bushes and springs lasting 30k miles and service costs in four figures. Changed for a 130i and it has been the best of both, being similar to my old z4 in running costs, not had any reliability issues or warranty work and it is almost as quick as the M3 up to legal road speeds. Doesn't feel as special but easy to drive and doesn't scare the wife like the M3 did. Had E39 M5, E46 325ci and E90 330i in the past too so had enough of 3 series, but not finding much that I like in the current BMW line up. Prefer N/A over turbo, straight 6 or V8 rather than a 4 pot and has to be manual not flappy paddles or auto. Budget is about £18k for trade in but can be a bit flexible. Only do 8k miles a year mixture of business and pleasure in my car and I have a 120d for longer motorway runs. Options are: 1. Keep the 130i but get the bmw performance exhaust and induction kit plus a remap and differential to give 280 bhp and the excitement and sound I miss from the M3. 2. Look for a manual e89 3lr N/A with a manual gearbox. (not that many around and the e89 gets a bit of a slating in most of the reviews I have read though none seem to have tested that specific version). Looks like the dealer 30 miles away has one in approved used so I might go for a test drive. Electric handbrake might rule it out, be nice to be back in a roadster though. 3. Wait for a manual 645/650i or 545/550i to turn up on the AUK site or just go for a z4m. 4. Other?

Right so I got this beaut for VERY cheap considering what it is, I have got to take it into the mechanic as the MOT has just run out and it supposedly overheats? I'm hoping its gonna be a cheap fix read more here: http://forums.clublupo.co.uk/index.php?/topic/95080-help-overheating/ Plans so far (if not much work needs doing)-New louder exhaust- tinted rear windows- new quarter panel or get it re sprayed- Sort out 3 spots of rust- maybe re trim the door panels with digital camo pattern- get some nice wheels rather than the bling sh**ty ones- new stereo/ fit 6x9's I have and get a sub (as I love my bass)- Give it a good clean MUCH MORE PLANNED TOO Have a look: Stay tuned for many more updates

Alrighty, This is my second Lupo. Previously owned a Lupo 1.0 E before owning the Polo 1.0 E and now currently own a GTI . I'm well happy I got it. I'm a student so unless I get a job (I've been searching and applying for months) progress will be slow. Anyway, this is gonna be the build thread for my car. I have a good plans for it such as; Coilovers De-tango the rear lights Possibly mud flaps? Undecided - apparently the bring up stones and ****? Wheels - Only if I get a job. Most likely Rota Zeros, BBS or Schmidt TH Lines. BMC CDA. But before any that happens the bad bits are getting seen to first. Here are a few snaps: Follow me on instagram if you've got it: davidelliott294 Cheers

good to chat to you about your car, a true beauty, i did look for the build thread but havent yet found it . . .

Bit of an odd colour, but not a bad little loop(:

I changed my heater plugs as the car was sluggish on first start,but even after changing them its still sluggish,what to try next?fuel filter,oil filter,or air filter or all .

Hooted your horn. Totally caught me off guard haha, gave you a thumbs up. Nice Lupo

So scene.

cheers Joe! positive feedback is always good.

I have a set of cookie cutters but one of the center caps is pitted slightly. Does anybody know of anybody who is selling a set or even just the one?! Thanks!

but dont worry, in the mean time, i'll look after her

Just picked up my new car which had previously had Cambridge edition rear lights, these were switched back to standard Arosa Mk2 lights for the sale, all the fuses were blown so i replaced them and they blew all over again. Different wiring. While rectifying the problem i found a load of spliced wires and it occurred to me that not many people know how to correctly swap connections in terminals so i decided to write up this little how to. Here goes: This is the spliced loom how i got it (bar pin 6 which i fixed before thinking about making a how to). If this mod was done the 'correct' way, it would be a lot quicker to revert and a lot neater. Step 1: Insert a small screwdriver or something similar to pry each end of the retainer. This block is for the rear lights, the retainer on the connector block for the radio will be a slider that pulls out the center of the block. NOTE: MOST BLOCKS CONTAIN RETAINERS. INSPECT THE BLOCK THOROUGHLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY EXTRACTION. This will be what it looks like open: Step 2: Insert something into the connector block from the front on either side of the pin to compress the tabs, you should feel/hear a small click or pop, this indicates the pin should be free. For this i used a staple from an electric stapler/nail gun. Not the greatest picture but you can just see on pin 5 (red and black) the staple pushing down on the tabs. Step 3: Extract the pins and swap around. Its that easy. A picture of the loom tidied up - all wires heat shrank up, then bound with insulating tape for water proofing and bound again with loom tape for strength.

Not done it myself but as far as I know it's straight forward. It involves a washer and a bolt. I'm sure dave will be back along to give a better answer though

see ya later sound deadening...

Not for the tdi. The 9n covers some things but the engine bay is different and tbh haynes isn't all that IMO these days. I'm sure it used to be better? I think it would make for a better site.

I know it seems weird that I have a car that has paint from 2005 but was made and sprayed in 2001, I'm trying to find why myself, don't really appreciate being called a liar about a simple question I asked about my paint code.

im 18 and pretty much nobody will insure me upto 12.5cm lowering, even though my friend took that policy out last year with the same company... who are people with for getting insured with lowering included. not 0-5cm the 5-12.5cm.. any help is thankful
