just go to eurocar parts, stick in your number plate search for your parts and it should list the compatable parts for your car

there will be a soldered joint that is failing, look at the pins where the plugs connect to the instrument cluster, theres pictures in one of my thread showing what a failed soldered joint looks like, last cluster i repairs had 6 out of the 8 pins failing (was on a polo and was affecting the immobilser, working perfectly since repair)

make sure you get the right version as powered steering and non powered steering are different lengths, ive got a lovely paperweight on my desk when a bought the wrong one as they are shorter they are cheap so do both sides, I was really anal when i did mine as i replaced the locking nuts, ran a die up and down the threads got it roughy right then had the tracking done knowing they wont have any problems as i had made sure everything was free and not siezed tight

a picture of what you have bought may help

sufferd from a worn ball joint on the wiper assembly, bought a repair clip from halfords and fitted perfectly, could have bought cheaper from ebay but couldnt be bothered to wait

sounds very similar to mine not sure about your hose configuration, but the sdi was a bit of a pig but had a new hose made up

Unable to hear file access restricted of somthingalong those lines First thing check the oil levels, when it goes low it starts to drag in air and makes the pumps noisey, if the levels are low then you have a leak My pump was noisy for 3 months before i bothered to look into it, found low oil levels, found leak, fixed leak and now the pump is fine and quiet again

check the obvious, how are the plugs looking, could swap them see if the misfire moves then its defo plugs, afer that would look at coil pack,

lol, £21.50 a day to take the lupo to London, good thing I dont need to go there

what was the last repair that got you a year trouble free

non refundable deposit tells me to stay well clear

prolly a bit of oil and a bit of moisture

you must have some of the wiring mixed up then, VW dont seem to follow conventional standard car wiring and on mine the permanent 12v feed and the igniton 12v feed had to be swapped

sound like your single din is knackered

unless you have found it already theres one on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Lupo-Polo-Centre-Console-Drink-Cup-Holder-4B0885995-4B0-885-995-/222490467573?hash=item33cd771cf5:g:ZngAAOSw2xRYXu-F

I had one made by pirtek, was pretty much a spot on replacment

just curious what the car insurance would be on a car that you built, a few companies panic when you swap the wheels, complete engine and drive train should give them a heart attack

no mot is normally a showstopper for everyone other than a breaker with a trailer, most breakers you would have to pay to have it taken away as the car is not complete

the duel colour are most likely speakers, to work out what goes where stick you multimeter onto ohms connect one wire to the multmeter and then just touch the other wire, one of the speakers should crackle thick red is most likely the permanent live, you just need to work out which of the other wires goes live with the igntion on, which will leave the last wire as ground its pretty easy with multimeter

its not like the old days where trade were looked after, Im a heating engineer so my main supplier is plumbcentre, i know for a fact you go in waving cash about you will get the same prices I get

if they dont fit there there problably not ment to

check the timing, make sure all the marks line up

to get a match im guessing both need to be replaced, same age same box they should be same shade

Im pretty sure the part number your after is 036109127N, this part number superceeded 036109127H stick that into ebay and plenty to choose from found the information here http://www.oemepc.com/vw/part_single/catalog/vw/markt/RDW/modell/LU/year/2000/drive_standart/231/hg_ug/109/subcategory/109055/part_id/3685900/lang/e hope that helps
