Does no one know?

Morning all My Lupo gti is showing signs of HGF. The water level has dropped and the oil cap is very mayo'y (it has never shown any signs of mayo before). My question is, does the gti have an oil cooler/ laminova? Or is it definitely the head gasket? Cheers

I tried this as a last chance before taking the bumper off and it worked had the ignition turned on and the lights on. Kept on turning it until the motor whirred and then I wound it back up to about level with the other one. Thanks for the help

Perfect. Cheers guys I will let you know how I get on

That sounds a bit more like it, cheers Is there a guide on here, or some pictures of a xenon headlight taken apart?

Ah, ok, thats interesting. When you turn them on you can certainly hear a little motor running on both sides which I assumed was sweeping through the range, as you say like other cars. Could you expand a little on what you mean by adjusting it using the wheels please?

Unfortunately I had a coming together with a small deer one morning a couple of weeks ago. I managed to slow down quite a lot but it still hit just below the drivers side headlight. The bumper has a little damage but not too bad. I lost the cap that goes over the headlight washer jet. The headlight appeared to be undamaged on first inspection. However, since driving in the dark for the first time, I have realised that the auto-leveling has stopped working. When you turn the lights on standing outside the car you can hear the motor whir, but the drivers side light does not rise to the correct level. Could someone explain how these work on the Lupo please? Is the auto-leveling inside the headlight unit itself, and does it sound like I will need a complete replacement unit? Thanks

The rad fan appears to have worn through the protection on one of the wires that runs passed it which caused some smoking. The battery is now disconnected until I can sort it out. I am just wondering if anyone could confirm what the wire is? You can see it in these pictures (I have moved it away from the rad fan now) Cheers for any help

I could be interested in the rear discs and pads. How much just for them if I could arrange someone to pick up?

The plate used to belong to me before I sold it to Willcrook What happened??

Who owns my old number plate now then?

Spotted a red gti going into Harlow on Sunday just after 4pm. I flashed but I wasn't in the Lupo. Anyone?

Yep, had it just over a month now. So much better than having a Bora TDI as a shed and if you drive the Lupo slowly enough (I dont) then it can do almost the same MPG. Happy days

Pah, no need for snow socks here

Looking good Nikki. Congrats on the house purchase

Hi John, How are you? Still got yours? Do the Iver meets still happen? Indeed, the sat nav was the only option not on the car so I put it in myself, with your guidance of course

Yep Climate control in a Lupo

Evening all Crusoes favourite thread is still going then Before AndyP complains again, I am kind of looking for another GTI to buy How are we all? Forum is looking very posh

Cool, tell them I am sorry for cutting one of them up on the roundabout on the A414. I was in a Zafira, and in a very bad mood

I saw one on the A414 going towards Hertford from Hatfield, and another in Hoddesdon. Both on friday. Anyone on here?
