    Got a GTI with no remote key fob. Key just has a transponder. How can I add a remote fob?

    Thanks, I need to get it moving tomorrow and have polo 6n2 GTi driveshafts aswell as polo 6n2 TDI driveshafts. I am hoping that one of the outers is the same. I was just enquiring before attempting them tomorrow. I found a post by @Rich which mentions inners, but not much on outers. Thanks for the help!

    Searching on here shows that all inner joints are the same except for TDI's I'm struggling to find out info for outer CV joints? Do polo 6n2 GTi outer CV joints fit?
  4. James_VW
    Are all 1.0 / 1.4 / 1.6 alternators the same? Guessing polo 6n2 will be the same aswell?

    Thanks for the replies. I would rather replace the ends so that next time it is easier. Can I not make the fuel lines from rubber hose? The quick release connectors are also available online.

    Was going to replace fuel filter but noticed both connectors are broken. The connectors need replacing but would it be easier to replace the line? Ive already tried putting a new connector on some spare Lupo line I had but was unsuccessful due to how tight the fitting is. It would be even harder underneath the car. So my thoughts are a new line or second hand. Would second hand ones be any good still or be brittle? Does anyone know the diameter of fuel lines?

    Hmm I'm sure I've got an old one kicking about somewhere. Might have to rip it apart to figure out how it works. I had thought it would be a pin but applying some force doesn't budge it.

    Does anyone know how to further disassamble the fuel cap? I need to spray it so would ideally like to remove the flap to avoid overspray etc.

    Yes there has been a few! Will be keeping hold of the blue GTI for a while. Do have some amount of spares knocking about. Will keep an eye out for you 👍

    One of the first alterations was to swap out the OEM steering wheel. I decide to go for the OMP Trecento 300mm. I think it's much better for the size of the car. Also noticed the indicator stalk has been swapped out for an aftermarket one. Will be on the look out for an OEM one. Next up is a service, android head unit and a good clean.
  12. James_VW
    Might be a possibility, I'll inbox you.

    Still in the Lupo game 😁 (although have been driving round in a polo 6n2 TDI) Although I now own another Lupo GTI in a colour I've always wanted! 150k miles but still drives great. Plan on keeping this for a while and doing it properly. Still have the moon silver GTI which now has MOT. Still unsure what to do with it? Do feel like the price will rocket in a few years so might keep hold?

    Has anybody installed an android double din headunit? What's the quality like? Do they fit well? What's the startup times? Been looking at something like this: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F113715283582 Lots of features and cheaper than branded versions. Any reviews?

    Thanks for your help. Discovered to be GVX.

    I have checked the top and I have: WWO O2T301103T GD-TL 023 I was worried the WWO was the gearbox code but I have cross referenced with another GTI 6 speed that also has the same numbers. I will check that spot and see if I can spot it!
  17. James_VW
    Where is the gearbox code located on a GTi 6 speed gearbox?

    Need to replace / upgrade the front speakers on the GTI. Yes the originals are good but they are non existent. I think I am best getting component speakers? Now how does the wiring work for this? Does the existing wiring from the headunit split so the signal is sent both to the tweeter (in the dash) and to the door speaker? Can I use the existing wiring to the door? So what am thinking... Existing wiring into door then into a crossover. Crossover to the speaker. Then a new wire from door up into tweeter? Is there a better way to do this? What are your thoughts?
  19. James_VW
    Apparently an Alfa Romeo 166 ballast is the same.

    Got hold of some 16" 4x100 I believe I need spigot rings 73.1 - 57.1? And the wheel bolts which will fit are M12 X 1.5 X 27mm - 60 degree taper? Does that sound correct? Anybody got these to fit as well?
  21. James_VW
    Wow, embarrassing. Fuse 16 was popped. Glad it was just a fuse... Cheers, anyways
  22. James_VW
    Measured both. Generic pic found online. Letter L (brown/red) = Lupo has no volts throughout. Polo has 0V at ignition off and 12V at ignition on. Letter I = Lupo has 7V at ignition off and 10V ignition on. Polo has 0V at off and 10V ignition on. Letter J = Polo has no wire. Lupo has green/grey wire So I'm assuming the problem lies with the letter L being there is no ignition voltage. What can cause this?

    Having an issue with the stereo not powering on at all. Tried 2 different stereos, neither work in the GTI but both do in the polo 6n2. Safe to say the stereos are good. Here is a pic of the stereo wires. (unsure what the purple and black wires are, but have no voltage at any stage) I have recorded the voltage of the black plug as I think the brown plug is just for the speakers? I have checked fuses 20 and 46 and and seem good. These voltages are as if you are looking at the black plug straight on. Any thoughts?

    I really wish that when I first started driving I bought a TDI. Would have saved so much money on gearboxes and fuel ? If buying a TDI I would look at gumtree and Facebook etc, eBay ones seem far to high priced for what they are. If buying one I would be looking in the region of around £500 max £750. I've got a polo 6n2 TDI same running gear as the lupo and genuinely cheaper car than a lupo, something to look at

    Welcome, Defiantly a TDI, all other models are now redundant except the GTI (IMO) 1.0 and 1.4 just burn oil and destroy gearboxes. TDI are cheap to run, munch miles, cheap parts and £30 tax if you get the right year.
