Hi
A new rattle has started in my GTI.... from the middle/drivers side of the dash. It sounds like something hitting against the wind screen or something clicking. Its fairly consistent but no pattern to the rattle i.e. it doesnt just happen on bumpy roads or going round bends.
COuld it be wheel bearings? Has anyone else got this??
-
I always pass a young lady in a Reflex on a Y plate, but always going round bends/too fast to wave

BUT today I saw a black one, also driven by young lady, blonde hair.... near the M3 ?
was it you?
-
Yeah I took off the thing in the boot and unscrewed it but have no idea what it does - didnt seem to make the spoiler loose or the light.
Anyway dont think they will do it under warranty will they? As its a light bulb.... One of my number plate lights was broken - that was contacts rusted up. Doesnt look good for the future all this water getting in everywhere!
Got my window seals to replace again, so will get VW to have a look then. Cheers

hi....
My brake light on the spoiler (centre l.e.d. unit) has stopped working and it has a lot of water in it.... I had a look but can't see any sensible way of it coming off.
How is it stuck on? Does anyone know?
Cheers !
-
hmm not good how much did it set you back at vw tigz?
-
yeah i know thats what i am scared of. convinced its not a whole dash job though.
do they do haynes manuals for the lupo?
-
Does anyone know how to change them?
If so how much cost and what part numbers? CHEEERS !!
-
hmm forgot that post cheers!
so its not too bad at all. ... what about 205/50 r15 do they exist? are they cheaper and will they fit? cheersss!

just ordered 4 sp8000's - 75 squid each is this ok? what has everyone else paid?
-
Yeah sorry about that - Beta unit is OK!!!
Anyway, www.ebay.de is great - 6 discs are about 200 quid, single disk about 80 quid. bonus!
-
Hmmm i need new tyres as I flew off a round about in the wet today, 8000's for me.
-
Joe - you need a Gamma head unit to do this - not the one fitted. You can pick these up on eBay cheaply enough. Then you choose either a 6 disk or 1 disk changer that fits in the DIN nice and easy. Again, these are on eBay a lot.
its dead simple and if you sell your other unit on eBay should only cost you about £130.
cheers

I just checked mine (42,000 miles) and she is fine.....

I have a rattle at about 2500 revs from the front dash i think.... any ideas?
And when my speakers are up my door cards rattle like crazy - surely this is not a design feature? Any one else had this???
cheers

Not meaning to sound too up my own ass I have done a few track days - my last was last October with SeatCupra.net in my Golf MKII 16v.
I have to say that brakes and tyres were shot (I drove as fast as I could everywhere). I also span out and landed on a landing light (it was an old airfield) and had to replace my wheel arch trim. But, it cost 35 quid for the track. There were no 'prats' it was a group of people with like minded ideas.
Track days are THE BEST FUN I HAVE EVER HAD IN A CAR. Forget other roads this is proper big empty space, make your own path type stuff. There is sometimes a slalom and some racing. There were no major incidents at any of the events I have been to, and at the more organised tracks safety is better than the roads!
As for a roll cage I suppose it does happen but you have to (and please do not take this the worng way) be driving like a real c**t (sorry) to roll - especially in a Lupo with wide track!
Are these not designed for the track? Mine appears to have stiff suspension, big brakes, a crazy engine and handling better than a lot of cars that get on tracks.
COME ON!!!! This is a great opportunity to have some real fun. As you can tell I am well up for it!
ClubGTI are organising an unofficial trip to the Nurbergring (sorry about spelling). I am sure anyone can tag along. You just pay 7 euros per lap and have to pay for any debris!
