1 previous owner from new
17 years VW main dealer service full history
Subframe, removed blasted, coated.
Exhaust replaced 4 years ago with genuine VW one
Rear suspension replaced with genuine standard
Original mats
New OE bushes
New wishbones
Tracking just done
Service and cambelt/water pump this year.
New spark plugs
Cloth interior
2 keys including original tag from factory
Interior pics coming

Lovely, lovely car. It’s not perfect but it’s honest and clean. I’m just thinking I don’t want to put more miles on it. Would prefer it to go to an enthusiast.

Yours is simply beautiful, life finds a way!
-
Very nice layering though 👌
-
They’re the rears right? Maybe my rears will try harder 😂
-
I’ve still got to look at the rears .. that’s the next job 😬
the arches themselves look pretty solid actually
-
Was reassured by the amount of rust proofing on the arches, it all just needed a clean and a Waxoyling in the cavities .. saw a Ford Fiesta that had rotted right through into the engine bay!

Hi
so I took out my arch liners to give them a clean.. surprised to see so much crud in the cavities !

Thanks for the info ....all locks work fine and I’ve replaced the passenger one and the boot .. I guess I should try to replace the drivers side even though that appears to work properly.
the alarm does arm, but as I say there’s no single hazard flash , but if I press the lock button a couple of times it does a very quick single hazard flash.
so confusing, even some garages can’t work it out. I guess I’ll keep trying but it’s really starting to piss me off now 🤣
-
I yes it does

It’s blasted with Garnet which is actually my surname.
i would been there for hours rubbing away or with a drill.
They guy who did it was going to leave the good parts but he said the paint was so thin it came straight off so he just did the whole lot.It now has a primer coat and two coats of POR which I tested is rock hard.

Hi all so I have Lupo gti Alarm problems...
Both doors lock interior light comes on, lights on buzzer works.
Boot lock works and the boot open light is not on, on the dash.
But when I lock the car remotely it doesn’t flash the hazards once. It used to.
If I press the key again they do flash once.
it flashes twice when unlocked
Any ideas what I missed??
Thanks all x
-
Primed and POR 15’d
-
Blasted!
-
Subframe is off .. getting blasted then coated with POR 15 after cleaning and rust proofing.
-
Thanks Martin..
I think I may have got somewhere
live changed the boot sensor that made no difference but noticed the passenger door is UNlocking when I press the lock button on the key twice so I think the problem is with the passenger door lock module which I’ve changed many times so here’s hoping 🤞
cheers

Any ideas??
which sensor in the boot is linked to alarm? -

Any VW OEM parts distributor, for example your nearest VW dealer should be able to order it (actually Audi, Škoda and any other VAG dealer might be able as well), delivery might take some time, because they don't storage all oem parts available in shop.
Can You please make sure it is correct OEM code?
Strange VW dealer told me this is obsolete .. 🤷♂️

6X0 947 569 OEM appears more than 1000 units left.
Where is this?
cheers -
Does anyone know where to get one??? According to VW .. part 6X0 947 569 is no longer available.. 😬
-
Hello and thanks btw🙏
-
As title says strange things are afoot.
Everything works as it should it’s just that the hazards don’t flash when I remote lock the car.
the ‘lights on’ warning buzzer works
the ‘boot open’ light on dash is NOT on but does come on if it’s not closed properly
any thoughts ?
