Gear linkage?

PM me a price posted for the gear linkage please (if its rod type) Thanks Daryl

Hi. im after a 1.4 rod type gear linkage that bolts onto the gearbox. Thanks Daryl

Drivers side window cable has snapped. Wheres best to get one from? Thanks Daryl

Yeah it was the stat sticking shut.

Nope no oil in the coolant. Before i took the head off i took the plug off the coil pack and took the top expansion tank hose off and cranked it and she was pushing out exhaust fumes.

Well i was right about that whipped the head off and could see it had gone between 1+2 and 3+4 Might get some photos up later Daryl

Started to have a few problems with the girlfriends lupo. Its a 1.4 E AHW. The car over heated the other day due to the fan not kicking in. So i replaced the water pump as it had the plastic one which was nearly seized. Also put a new stat in as that fell apart when i took it out. Now its all back together Ive got lumpy idle, Top hose hot bottom cold, All water hoses are really hard to touch until you take the expansion tank cap off and nearly blows your hand off even when you leave the car for a few hours. I'm thinking the pressure could be down to head gasket putting exhaust gasses into water system due to the over heating? Bottom hose still being cold due to new stat not working or blocked radiator? Idle lumpy - sensor by the thermostat, dirty throttle. other than that it drives fine and the fan kicks in. Would be great if anyone has any other suggestions Thanks Daryl

Should note that I'm not 100% that they are there but they will be around there where the door shuts.its like a black button. Hope that helps. Daryl

Door switches micro switches probably another name for them. If you open the door look where the door hinges to the car and its there. Should not cost much at all.

Alarm,interior light,light buzzer not working. All sounds like the door switches to me.

Do you still have the rear bumper? If you do could you drop me a pm with a price please. Thanks Daryl

Just seen this have a read Gearbox sensor Daryl

Took my girlfriends lupo for mot yesterday and it did this a few times. My guess its a faulty cable or sensor. Daryl

Well that tip worked thanks. Ive got the part number for people who may have this problem aswell. Part number: 085 301 227 Price: £6.60 Thanks Daryl

Thanks will give that a go. Daryl

Hi i got hold of a lupo a few weeks ago which had a number of things wrong with it. Last job i got to do on it is a seal on the back of the gearbox where the shift rod meets the gearbox. Ive got one on order with vw. Put the car over the pit to have a quick look today but i cant see how I'm gonna get it out. Anyone with any ideas on how to get this seal out would be great help. I did use the search but nothing came up. Thanks Daryl

The G40 before a melted piston at Santa pod it ran a 14.3 leaning out in 4th would of pulled around mid 13s. Sadly being broken Engine spec 1272cc, Full blend psd charger, k&n induction kit, heat shield, boost return mod, green 250cc injectors, sns stage 5 chip, toothed belts, mocal oil cooler, full longlife custom exhaust with decat 57.5mm, custom made manifold cnc'd flange to standard head, gt inlet manifold, helix organic clutch, lsd plus rebuilt gearbox box. This car has no head work and is standard internally. Also on gaz coil overs and a PPS sub frame. Alot of the parts are now being used to build a mk2 g40. Back to the loop its now nearly all back together. Got a wiper stalk to fit and sort the gearbox seal, renew the oil and shes ready to be back on the road. Anyone got a part number for the seal? I did use the search but could not find it. Thanks Daryl

Thanks. Well after driving the car back we only had a little noise coming from the gearbox only in fifth at around 2000rpm above that the noise went. Put new disks and pads on notice its got a oil leak (couple of spots) coming from the shift rod seal common issue? New cam belt and tensions ready just waiting on a water pump. Should be back together in the next couple of days. Couple of pics

Just a new member saying hello. Picked this little bargain up a few days ago for the girlfriend which she loves. Brought this from LoopyLing. Link Now its in the unit awaiting a good full service disk, pads etc. Thanks Daryl
