  1. Yeah, there's loads a things you can still use the std Beta hifi with. Even Bluetooth modules that can be directly controlled from your phone... The Lupo comes with pretty good door speakers as standard, if still working. Most of the functions are pretty intuitive. What do you need to know? And welcome to Club Lupo 👍🏻
  2. Here: (grab a cuppa before starting to read it...) https://forums.clublupo.co.uk/index.php?/topic/41812-the-definitive-gearbox-thread/ There's also the definitive pedalbox thread. All the answers are in those

  4. Is it just difficult to select a gear, or takes some effort to move the stick from any position to any position? Just wondering if it's the selector mech system or if the clutch isn't fully disengaging (needing adjustment or pedal box...). Might be a cracked pedal box- the clutch pedal rests at a lower position when gone. When my pedalbox went, it was really difficult to select first from neutral, when the car was stationary. And it wore out the synchro rings (discovered when rebuilding the box). The clutch was always lightly dragging the primary shaft, because it was running all the time, preventing the gears to mesh. You'll need a special puller for 5th gear. I posted some pics on the gearbox thread when one of mine was rebuilt. 👍🏻
  5. Do you mean stiff clutch pedal or difficult to move gear stick? Two totally different problems, causes and fixes. If the box is coming out, makes sense to have the bearings and seals all replaced, especially if you'll be keeping the car for a few years. Bearings and seal kit about £125. Labour cost, once the box is out, around £75 and a pack of beer for the guy doing it...
  6. Bridge a wire link in the relay socket to force the pump to run...
  7. Yeah, so a fuel problem now. Easy to fix. Fuel? Fuel pump? Fuel filter? Fuel pressure regulator? Fuel pump control relay? Fuel signal control connection from the ECU to the fuel control relay? Fuel pump fuse? [Main power supply bus to power rail for power on system (probably none of these if there's ignition)? Main power supply bus fuse? Main power relay? Main power relay control signal from ECU? Ignition switch?]
  8. This breaks for everyone. It's been a few years since I broke one, but I think it's the spindle that breaks, not the handle? The handle has a little hidden push button release thing (that you only discover after you've broken it...). I'm not completely sure, but I think the golf handle is different, but the spindle is the same. I posted pics on here a few years ago showing my mistakes and there may have been a mk4 handle.
  9. Wow! That is an absolute minter. And in white, which is very rare. I've never ever seen a white one for real. Don't Lupos look fabulous in white!? Someone is going to get a gem of a car there. And such low mileage, bargain.
  10. Welcome to Club Lupo Sounds like you're doing all the correct research before spending your money. Smart move. We did have a buyers guide on here until the site crashed and we lost everything, but yeah, sounds like you're doing your research. There are a lot of really smart Lupo/Arosa people on here, with combined knowledge better than most vdub/seat main dealers. Ask away, you will get the answer.👍🏻 If you had your original account banned before even posting, we've had a huge surge in Russian 'bot attacks' over the last two weeks, where we've been doing everything we can to keep the site clean and SPAM free. Myself or one of the other mods may have accidentally removed it. PM me if you remember the username and would like it reinstated...
  11. Might be a faulty light switch unit? To remove it, press the switch in- and while pressing in, turn the switch on. This releases the switch from the holder Then pull it straight out. Then you can disconnect the wires and plug.
  12. Yeah, leave engine stuff. Change to higher gearbox ratios... way faster acceleration, but limited top speed. Exactly what @amgerizsays
  13. Welcome to Club Lupo pics of car?
  14. If it dropped off (common issue on Rosas and Lupos), it is possible to drill a hole in the solid plastic bush and turn it round. Then simply grease it and pop it back on. Another 10 years of trouble free wiping...
