Hi all, random problem started up a few months ago and ive had a quick search on here to no avail so hopefully someone knows...
Basically when the passenger door is opened on my car the window's will drop down, although the passenger side only opens 3/4 and driver all the way. I have checked the wiring at the join between the passenger door and body and nothing appears to be getting caught in typical VAG fashion (although i havent fully removed the padding/tape) and i have pulled the passenger door card off and put my hand inside the door and everything feels fine from what i can tell.
Yesterday i investigated further by pulling the kick panel from the passenger footwell where the connector blocks are for the window wiring/speakers etc and again they look fine. When i disconnected the window wiring block and reconnected it the passenger window went down fully then, so that double confirms its not getting caught on anything.
I have noticed around the same time the windows started going down that anytime i do something electrical like switch on lights, press brake pedal, doors auto lock etc, that i will hear an electrical click through the speakers like something is earthing oddly. Everything works 100% besides that.
Any idea's or suggestions on where to look/do?
Thanks, Gary

i bought the £80 spoiler, but theres three more, trouble is theyre in germany! the brake light on your lupo comes out and the gti spoiler and brake light fits nicely in the hole
It must be a Sport spoiler then as is the GTI brake light not different and you have to buy that as an addition? Pretty sure ive seen that in other threads on here.
I have a hard to find MS design spoiler that has one of the very corner edges just broken off. Its only the very tip and an easy fix for any bodyshop or if you're handy with a bit of pon/fibre glass
Unused and unpainted. Your original brake light fits into the hole for it also. -
Good to see you're keeping up the woman stance and doing what you're put on this earth for.......... CLEANING
Wouldnt be too sold on the red sprayed bits, both interior and bonnet, but looks as if you've done a good job on the rest
If you ever get bored of the rubber gromet let me know, i have an unused glass blanking plate kicking about for the boot 
UP THE AROSA'S!!!

Would this be of any use to you if you dont want to play about with the rear light and changing it?

Hmmm, interesting choice going by that one photo and nothing else. Was it hiding a VR6 turbo lump and spotless throughout?!
-
Ive still to see said Lupo that won as that was some rant you had on RMS Ruth lol! Any pics?
Dont take it too seriously now

We used the container with a hole opened up half filled with saw dust then aerosols then all doused in a healthy dose of petrol makes a pretty impressive bang
LOL! and now we all know how he got these scars.....
-
By the way that was a epic fire when we finished
You should have been in Northern Ireland last night to see what an epic Bonfire is all about
-
Any further joys yet or whats the latest?
-
Dont tell me the Lupo got traded in in the end?!
-
Lick my left one....
Faceparty is where its at!

Sorry silver, i was meaning taking the whole lot out of the dash, not just the drawer covers
It was for changing to a double din HU
Typically now im not sure if i like it lol -
They place a reflective backing onto plastic plates, so it doesn't matter that they are not plastic, they still have the same backing on (not paint...)
Correct.
Was away hunting there on a local car forum of mine with info from local plod and a plate maker who has also checked with our DVA (same regs as DVLA) and its exactly has been pointed out by the plate manufacturer to you in the emails. I see on your plate you even have the BSAU145d requirements and are marked. You also have GB which is fine. Your plates look legal font from what it appears in the photos. The yellow looks a bit odd i must say but again its maybe the photo?
Check this out: http://www.direct.go...lates/DG_181503 Even says there 3D is legal if they met all the requirements. Measure your characters and spacing as detailed there (doubt its wrong) and if it all meets the requirements id go down to the local station where this guy is based and ask to speak to either that officer or the one in charge and take a copy of that directgov page and politely explain.
The only thing i have a doubt over is the fact the post code and BS is not on the actual plate but a border, not sure that makes a difference? I'll ask and see
-
Do not pay the fine and roll over. If they are spaced correctly with the right font and the minimum amount of border and BS stamped on them, then your pressed plates are perfectly legal.
I'll try and find out the exact in's and out's for you and report back. Sounds like a complete jobsworth and you'd be better going down and speaking with his commanding officer about it and see if they can quash it for you before any court balls.

Ok just went brave and decided to give it a good oul tug as i was damaging the plastic with screwdrivers. Took a good jolt but the lot popped out and took a lump of skin from my fingers whilst at it (basturd). But all done and HU in
-
yea, i don't particularly like arosa's, sorry guys!
-
Yeah they do look smaller next to the bathursts, but they are nice:) As said, must be style of wheel makes them look smaller.

Shave only a few mm lol? Think you'll need a brave whack there!
Maybe its the style of wheel but are they 13's? :S
-
get a small flat head screw driver, towards the top of the lower din put the screwdriver in the left corner, and pull out that side, do the same for the right and it should pop out. does not matter which corner you do first that's just the way i did it haha
Sorry to bump/ask this again, but i presume this is the same as what you need to do for the mk2 Arosa in dash cup holders?
There's just a coupl of tabs on the sided keeping it in place? Had a quick look the other week but couldnt see anything obvious so dont wanna bust nout lol
-
Defintootley has to be a Lupo, no interest in Arosa's? Far nicer looking car
-
Schporting sir!
Nice work as always, one of the better Lupo's om here

Ok update, as it turns out after some more playing about today, it doesnt matter if you open the passenger door, just pulling the handle to 'pop' the door sends the windows off :S
