@weslangdonI was trying to think about that one, tdi sport? Thought they didn’t do one but then I remembered about ‘a petrol car’ as I’ve been fixated with diesels.
Is it so much better to have a re-map than a simple cost effective chip ? The chip was summat I already had lying around from the previous vw and convenient to hand.
Most Lupo tdi models were Sports, slightly lower and stiffer than the Arosa tdi, the one I had was kidnapped by my wife as it had an electric sun roof but we ran them side by side for a while

MK2 GTi uses 256, as do sports and TDI lupos.
They all run 14".
Kam once ran 13” but had to shave calipers.
Correct

Just wondering if anyone has ran 14inch wheels on a Gti or even if its possible with the clearance on the calipers ? If so anyone have any photos ?
On a MK 1 and Mk 2 Golf GTI, the 16v version of which had 256 mm brakes, same as on the Lupo GTI

Got any door cards with window winder holes?
Window winders go through the steel of the door, not the cards

I doubt they sold many

Colour will always be a problem though, more cat sick than hearing aid beige, but not nice and expensive to fix

Thanks

Hiya, anyone know where I can source these for my TDI

I have two stickers on the back one says fulled by recycled dinosaurs and the other is a purple ribbon, tbh amazon is paying for my car 🤣
People have little choice in many parts of Britain, which is why they place these work camps in areas of high unemployment, my grandson managed a week in Swansea Amazon during the pandemic but left because of the lack of PPE, his mother was shielding.

You don't, they are slave camps

It's just a Polo, the only good ones were the G40's from two generations back

Get stainless flexi's, give it a good clean and paint with black waxoyl, don't use it when there's salt on the road, I'm lucky its fewer than a dozen days a year when its salted but in the Pennines it could be 5x that

Put them on your Lupo Sport, put the Lupo's wheels on the Polo, sell the Polo😇

I've had mine remapped by a tuner in Llanelli on the recommendations of an enthusiast I know who had been disappointed with another local expert, I'm delighted with it, more torque better economy a delight to drive and as my wife had a Lupo Sport tdi at the same time the differences were palpable

Lovely colour, needs the Sports seats from the 100bhp sport model, they come in blue so are a decent match, invest in a remap not a chip, but only on recommendations as they very in quality

The adverts annoy

Fit manual winders, far less trouble, easy to fit only issue is finding them, measure twice before you drill the hole for the handle
-
Synchro's go either side of 3rd gear too, looking at £500 for a rebuild, but yours is just noisy, change the gear box oil for a fully synthetic as a starter, that alone might fix it, if it doesn't start saving

As long as the engine and gear box are fine most other problems are fixable, take care of your power steering hoses though as they are getting impossible to source

TDI and GTI have a hydraulic clutch, so avoid the pedal box issues that plague the other models, TDI just as fuel efficient but much more powerful and remappable

You'll be fine👍
