Im still having a problem with the left indicator. It seems to want to work then not work soooooo annoying. Have tried numerous amounts of times to get bulb out to have a look but to no avail. You mentioned on here that u just remove the black cap and out it comes but as you probably guessed nope not for me. What else can i do any ideas??????? Really dont wanna have to take it in to the VW garage as they will have less knowledge than me. HELP!!!!!!!!!

When I indicate left, sometimes it works normally but most of the time the indicators flash really quickly... I'm thinking of replacing the front left (main) indicator bulb to see if it fixes it but don't know how to get to it. Can anyone help explain how? Would be really helpful if someone could explain what to undo/remove to replace them - do I have to get into the same bit as the xenon bulbs (is it dangerous?) Thanks in advance, Nena

I used to come on here years ago but can't remember my old log-in! I'd be grateful for any info advice on this gearbox problem.... My GTI started getting difficult to select 1st and reverse....I saw a "how-to" adjust the selector on here but came across the problem... The forward/back action on the gearstick has loads of play as the 'hingy bit' seems to be all wobbly as though it's worn away (sorry, I'm clearly no mechanic, I hope the clip shows what I mean). The up/down bit inside this seems to be ok (left/right movement on the gearstick). There's been no whining noises or anything else unusual and I've arranged to leave with 'Mr Clutch' on Monday. I'm hoping to be armed with some knowledge/info though as I don't want to get fleeced! I was told it would become expensive if the 'box needs taking out etc. Mentioning the going into gear problem to my local VW dealer on its last service, they said "We don't know, yours is the only Lupo GTI we've ever seen...but we could put a new clutch in - here's a quote."
