  1. Depends if your mechanic chap considers his time more valuable... he could save money by welding it, but it would take much more time than just buying the bits. £150 is about the going rate for a pedal box swap. But I've heard that Vdub occasionally do it for a lot less as they do know about the pedal box "issue"...

  2. You could pester your local vdub dealer, as they are aware that there was a recall on the Polo- which has the exact same design. There was no recall on the lupo (there should have been). They may do it for you at a low cost with a good will gesture... :)

     

  3. Welcome to club lupo :)

    to be sure if it has gone or if it's on its way out, the clutch pedal should be level with the brake pedal... if the clutch is lower, then you're right, the pedal box assembly will need replacing. If level, then it "may" just have a crack in, which buys you a bit of time. The creaking is often caused by the edges of the metal crack sliding against each other.

    pics of your car? :)

    People who don't enjoy life drive sdi

    Being 75, i don't need to enjoy life anymore. Can't walk. Can't see. Can't hear. Even stairs are difficult now. I wish my SDI were an automatic.

  5. From memory, the back bit is the same as a mk4. It's the little plastic pin bit that usually snaps. Then you can use the adjustable cable clamp, lever and clip from a lupo. I need to do this on one of mine too... I should post a how-to. This is so so common.

    We’re a weird bunch here. 

    Please don’t go, this is the light entertainment we all need 😁

    Its all in jest.

    Sadly this is why Ray has to do his job. Complete strangers like me have no idea what is going on up north in the Durham area where you all live... :)

    Normal people are of course welcoming to all in the love of our Lupos (and Arosas). We never jest as we have no sense of humour.

    I cant find many round here. Im considering selling as spares or repair.

    Just ask about in your area. Best people with knowledge are the little workshops. They usually know someone... 

  8. Stationary for a couple of mins, with the front wheels off the ground in gear to clean the diff too. Then dump the contents while still spinning, keeping all the bits in suspension (in oil). Gets all the metal bits out. See definitive gearbox thread... :)
