  1. I'll get some pictures when the weather clears up. And I'm glad we saved this one, I'd never driven the TDI before but it's quite nice actually. Remap is on the list. Awesome have a generic one listed for £150, think we're gonna give that a go first. Want to do some subtle mods but struggling for inspiration at the moment!
  2. Not to be cynical but I don't understand why people obsess over having their own part numbers before ringing a dealer. Could solve the problem in half of the time. It's what they're there for, if they can't find the pedal box on their diagrams i'd be worried! Also IIRC the brake pedal clip isn't available on it's own from VAG specifically for the lupo. Mk3 golf one.
  3. It seems I'm the only person that had one fail closed...
  4. He doesn't want a manual box though....
  5. Found it. Can't be bothered if I'm honest, seems like too much hassle.. It's working anyway. If it isn't broke...
  6. Where does one acquire such a horn!?!?!
  7. Yeah pretty much. Depends on what type I guess. I have twin air horns on the rally car and I used the existing horn connections to switch a relay, with power then going to the compressor.
  8. That's the only thing I could think of. But it's not causing an issue so I probably will just live it with. What exactly causes it? (IE if I was to go for the repair option, what am I actually repairing?)
  9. Final list. 4 new tyres New suspension arms New ball joints New tie rod ends New drivers door lock Window regulator repaired New front springs / struts New ARB Drop links Replacement rear bumper - needs painting but is in much better condition than the original. New front discs & pads New rear shock absorbers Happy to report we finally got an MOT on this last week and I've been using it as a run about to keep costs down rather than using the main car for work. (Arteon). It makes a weird whining noise on startup though, like it starts, loud whining and then runs fine afterwards. Lasts a few seconds or so, anyone any ideas? I'll post a video later when I get chance.
  10. IIRC all lupos only have a key and no remote. The central locking isn't remote. Anyway, you'd be able to tell. Mainly by the boot lock if you're really unsure. These turn differently depending on if it is central locking or not.

  12. Don't need to guess when it's listed in the article....
  13. First event on pacenotes just gone. Went well, 28th overall and 5th in class out of 58 starters! Not feeling summing each event up. Here's a summary: https://www.ewrc-results.com/profile/132380-calvin-woods/
  14. Tbh I wouldn't bother with the ball joint step.
  15. I'm not 100% on that one to be honest. All the guides I'd found did say to run it, so I did and didn't have any problems. Only speaking from my own experience really. As for removing it, remember it being as simple as removing the airbox and then maybe 3 or 4 torx bolts on the EGR. Took around 30 mins in total I think!
  16. Good point. They're coming off anyway to remove the box!
  17. Are you handy with some tools? It's quite a simple job to do yourself really. Isn't that involved. Only downside is you need to run adaptation using vcds afterwards, but still cheaper by a considerable amount...

    AFH Engine Mounts

    Yep, I'm not even bothering!
  19. I think I paid £20 for one when I had my 1.0, 30 minutes or so to change. They're having your pants down tbh. Even a new one from Euro is £120. Where abouts in the country are you?

    AFH Engine Mounts

    Maybe best placed on the polo forum but in all honesty when I've used either of the two main ones the responses were less than helpful. Is anyone aware of a company making uprated engine mounts?

    I'll post some pictures later. But so far gone is: Front Bumper Wings ECU / Loom / Key Headlights Wing mirrors Everything else is currently still available. This needs to be gone by midnight Wednesday at the latest. Happy to take bits off and keep them for a short amount of time. And also happy to post a lot of bits.

    Soft Blue 1.7 SDI

    Yes gearbox all good. I have no idea how much those bits would be worth to be honest, drop me a PM
