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

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

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!

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

Do you still have switches for heated seats? if so, how much posted to Denmark? need both ones if possible

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!

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

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)

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

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!

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

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!

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!

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!

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!

What a great project! love the transformation! sorry for OT, but you seem to not be able to recieve PMs, could you PM me about your P-slots for sale?

Eh? What's the question again?

Im actually in the progress of this conversion, but i warn you all! you need to cut up the polo knobs, the lupo knobs, the lupo interior panel, the polo interior panel, the polo surrounding for the knobs (with the dials and stuff on) and then in the end, glue most of the stuff together, putty the interior panel and glue the surrounds onto the light tranfering clear plastic on the lupo heater. i will get some pictures when im closer to being done!

Lovely car mate ! Grumpy cat sticker is awesome! well done!

Can't anything else than agree with Joe! nice lupo you got there!

well, nothing worth driving for imho, most of the "dub scene" here are teenagers with VWs with more fiberglass than car, so we really know how to ruin VWs here lol

Well, this weekend went out with a nice result! i spent a lot of time polishing the lip of the RIAL wheels, and i must admit, for the cost and efford (http://forums.clublupo.co.uk/index.php?/topic/94841-cheap-rim-polish-for-your-daily-wheels-pic-heavy/) i think it's worth the time! Here are a few pics: Before reflection shot: and after! and some random shots of the polished wheel: Here you can see the surface of the lip which isn't the best, but it's a close up, when standing just a step back, they just look shiney

Hello! Since spring and summer seem far away at the moment, i thought, why not try and shine up my summer wheels for the daily driver? I didn't want it to be expensive, as it is a daily, they will be dirty and ugly very fast again, but for showing off to friends after a nice wash or for some photoshoots? I will first of all say, that this method might not be suitable for people who attend to shows with their wheels, as it is far from show standard, but it looks good a step or two back, and it makes the wheels look like new again! What you would need: A power drill Polishing wheels with matching compounds (I got mine at a DIY store for silly money as 10£ including the compounds) an old rag/cloth Brasso (or similar metal polish stuff) fine cloth / microfiber cloth All shown in the picture: Alright, let's get started! First of all, clean your wheel with wheel cleaner and rinse etc. many other guides for this i know! Then, i was left with something like this: (i know im not a good wheel cleaner!) So, we want to get as much brake dust and corrosion off the wheel before starting to polish. Grab your rag/cloth and metal polish: Pour a bit onto the cloth: Now use some elbow grease and rub away as much nasty stuff as possible: You're then maybe left with some black half liquid stuff like this: Not to worry! just wipe it off with a clean bit of rag: And this is why you don't want to use your fancy and expensive cloth for this; it's impossible to get proper clean again: Now it's time for some polishing action! Mount the coarser polishing wheel to your drill (sorry for the nasty wheel, i've used it on a couple of other rims before): Run it in the compound a bit and get a nice even coat: Now, im only polishing my lip of the rim, but you can use this on the entire wheel, supposed your spokes aren't meshed like mine, but when doing a lip like this, i like to start in the deep end and work my way up, so i start out like this: (sorry for missing pics) I then work my way up the edge and onto the outer edge of the lip. If you're using an well used polish wheel, you might end up with this: But not to worry! clean the polishing wheel in your rag, maybe get a mate to help you strech the rag and then "polish" on it, to remove the dirt and nasty stuff from the wheel, then continue polishing your wheel and they should go away. you might need to do this a couple of times for each wheel depending on how dirty it is from the start. Now it looks a lot better already, but it is missing a bit of shine! Now it's time for the second part of the polish process, so mount your finer polish wheel: Get some of the finer compound on it: Then work your way up like last time, you will see that this wheel takes all the small marks from the first run and also buffs a fair bit of shine into the rim: Now, i take my fine cloth/microfiber cloth and just give the wheel a good rub down. I though recommend getting some good wheel polish if you want to get a nicer surface, but i didn't have any at the time, but this did what it should, rubbing away excess compound and polish some of the finer scratches in the surface: Now grab a beer (optional) and enjoy your new shiney wheel: As i menioned before, this is not an optimal wheel polish guide, but it's cheap and makes your daily wheels looka a lot better in my opinion, below is a picture of the rought surface i talked about, but if you have some wheel polish, or spend a bit on it, you could end up with a much better result! I hope you enjoyed! Disclaimer: if following this guide im not responsible for any damage it might cause and how many beers you drink! keep your common sense and nothing should go wrong!

Well, not from Germany, but the southeren Denmark tho but welcome mate!

Hi guys! First of all, i wanna appologize for the crappy phone pictures, but i forgot my camera home today (at my parrents place since they have a garage to work in ) But i went shopping today, and that resulted in a set of new Recaro seats! im very satisfied with how they feel, and they only need a retrim to be as good as new, so that's what's next on the major mod list hehe! Another bonus about getting new seats is an excuse to get the carpet spotless too haha!
