  1. If you had the steering wheel off, you need to get a diagnostics cable and get the fault code re-set. If an airbag has been disconnected while battery was on the car, it makes a fault code, that needs to be erased, this is also the case if you change seats if you have seat airbags
  2. I went for the FK Highline on my 1.0, they handle like a dream, and the comfort is superb compared to what i've tried elsewhere. They are nice and soft (a bit harder than OEM) but when you start throwing it around, they stiffen up because of black magic and science
  3. There's a Lupo 3L in denmark which have covered over 800.000km (497.000 miles). My own have "only" 367.000km (228.000 miles) on it, and my new one is 118.000 km (73.000 miles). They can last a lifetime i bet if you take good care of them!
  4. The interior light is so simple build up that it can only be a faulty swtich. there's 3 wires to it: +12v, Ground and Switch Ground. If there's light in it when one door is open, it's the switch, if there's no light in it at all time, it could be a more things, but as this seems, i would go for a new switch, even new parts can be shitty i've found out. I had an issue like this a while ago, and found that a 2nd hand OEM part had longer lifetime than a new aftermarket part
  5. Do you still have switches for heated seats? if so, how much posted to Denmark? need both ones if possible
  6. Hi all! Im looking for a set of Polo 6n2 GTI seatbelts, the black ones with the red outline. If anyone have any or know where to get them, it will be much appriciated!
  7. Is the polo Open Air cover helping regarding wind noise, or is it the same? been looking at swapping mine too, but cba if it doesn't do anything
  8. Welcome to the forum! lovely 3L you got there, it's almost like being on the Danish forums now haha looking forward to see what you'll do to it! If in need of spares (3L specific) let me know, we have a bunch of them here in Denmark (over 85% of all lupos sold here was 3Ls)
  9. I only know of two GTi's in Denmark, as they weren't imported by VW, so we have to import them from germany aswell, so my best bet for one would be mobile.de
  10. Must admit, got it with it from stock. Car is untouched, except my radio Excatly, my old 98 lupo didn't have glovebox, and i found out a lupo glove box is quite expensive, so i rocked the lower shelf The car i have is an german import, we didn't get any editions in Denmark, but 80% of all lupos here are 3L, so they are common as dirt here. If anyone wants 3L parts, let me know, they are easy to get by, and fairly cheap here! Additional information: this is one of only 5 known open air Lupos in Denmark, so it is quite rare here, really happy i found it in this condition!
  11. Yes you can, i have an USB/AUX interface which acts like the CD changer input, so i have both USB and AUX on my MFD
  12. Hi all! It has been quite a while since i last posted here, but im back! My blue Lupo (Sid) kinda died last autum, so i've been on the hunt for a new lupo to drive in! I recently saw this little beauty, and i had to get it! It's a mint 2003 Oxford 1.0 lupo, with the awesome Open Air sunroof! It have only done 116.000km (72.000 miles) which is becoming a rare thing to find so low milage on these cars! Except the Oxford trim, there's pretty much no acessories atm, except the MFD i fitted as the first thing. I do have a couple of doors with electric windows, mirrors and central locking in storage, in black too, so i'll be doing a retrofit sometime soon i hope!
  13. So, i finally finished the cleaning of Sid, so now he's super shiney, a shame he's a daily driver, all is ruined tomorrow lol! Also cleaned my polo 6R leather wheel which i need an airbag for, so if anyone has one or knows where to get one fairly cheap, let me know Before: After: My retrimmed rear seats (still waiting for the recaros to be done) Polo 6R heater knobs and my gear knob, which is still holding up very nice! sorry for the dark pictures!
  14. Thanks buddy! I have no pics from the process of making it other than the ones you've already seen, but what i did was: Brought a spare shifter to chop up. i cut away the outer stuff on it so i was left with only the mounting part of the knob. Next i took apart my flight joystick and trimmed down some of the inside so the mounting thing would fit nice and snug. When it all was ready, i took some 2k epoxy glue and filled as much of the inside as possible with it. Then it's like installing any other OEM gearknob with the clips and gaither around it ! Yeah, they are 14" the tyres are Continental 195/40 R14, but for this year im trying to get some 175/45 R14 for some more strech on them!
  15. Hello guys! Sorry, it's been a long time since i was online here, but the good part is, i now how a lot to show you Since my last update here, i got around and brought myself some new wheels, so the RIALs are now packed away and made room for my new lovely Pirelli P-Slots! I have upgraded my headlightswitch for the chromed Polo 6R one, and i have spent a lot of time making the heater knobs from a Polo 6R functional in the lupo, but im very happy to say they're in and they are working as they should! If anyone are interested, i will try to describe what i did, but im sorry, i have no pictures from the process, as i had no idea what i was doing and i just tinkered with them untill i came up with something! I also got hold of an arosa tailgate, fixed my front indicator panel so i had no holes in it and got spacers and other small stuff done! but enough talking, here's some pics: First ones are from a small photo shoot i did just after getting my P-slots: And some from Edition38, hope to see some of you this year! And our little cozy camp at edition: Hope you likes it, i'll try to get some more interior pictures, as i am in the middle of a re-trim!
