Nope, someone has installed a JVC head unit.
May change it for a standard radio in the future though, or fit a Blaupunkt that looks period enough.
Does it make a difference when finding a replacement aerial base?
Does it have JVC unit have DAB? If it does.. Just an idea to swap it out for a dummy shark fin that come on the MK6 golf or scirocco?

Fair enough. Do you still use the factory head unit?
-
Why do you need to replace it?

Driver's side is still available from VW, passenger side is obsolete
I'll check with my guys tomorrow see if i can get one. Any idea of a alternative for the passenger side?

The exhaust i did change on the car when it was 10 years old as it developed a rattle.
I still kept the back box (not the centre section) as a pattern in case i ever had to get a new one made. To be honest if i needed to change the exhause i would go stainless.
The main difficulty i suppose is a silly part. Eg a headlamp washer jet. I know someone is 3d printing them now but for a time it was not avalaible.
I do hope in the future Hertiage do start supplying more remanufactered parts to keep these cars on the road. I did see they are now supplying New Beetle parts now and it seems the same issue with the lupo has occured again. Not all parts have been transferred over.
I've kept all my original parts also regardless of condition because if the car goes the parts can remain with it.
Technology moves quickly which should keep some odd parts available like you said if someone is already 3d printing washer jet covers how long before someone starts making 3rd brake lights?
1 hour ago, Grumpy said:This is the exact reason after 3 Lupo GTI's, I decided to step away from them. Each time I replaced a GTI with another, parts were becoming more and more difficult to source. I still think they are a special car but I can't see me buying another.
I understand you. A number of times over the past few months I've looked at parting ways with mine, however I cant find a worthy replacement and I'm too attached to mine to let it go regardless of what it may need in terms of repair.

Its all a matter of opinion.
Yes, parts are now increasing more difficult to source but a good aftermarket option or an improvement on the original wouldn't put me off.
A full stainless exhaust which may have slightly different tips doesn't mean its going to be any louder.
Its 2023 the factory head unit and speakers are not great. So what's the harm in an upgrade?
If you want a completely standard car you ain't going to be using it. When it does need parts you cant source it will become neglected.
Personally its all about future proofing these cars to keep them going and it that means making better than original I'm all for that!

Anyone gone aftermarket on GTi door locks? Genuine ones are now obsolete dropped 11/2022. The genuine numbers don't cross with anything aftermarket

Is the worst damage to the driver front wing?
Would you put MOT on it?

SPARE OR REPAIRS £600
2000 (W) 6N2 TDI SE 103000Miles
Front fogs
Sunroof
GTi xenon’s fitted (don’t adjust manually or automatically) Standard headlamps included but the projected image is poor
couple of spares that I have and 2 matching alloys.
Recently had a passenger front tyre
Been a work horse for me for the past 18months but it requires some attention now. Had a cam belt and full service when I purchased it around 18months ago
Engine and Gearbox work well. Tandem pump has a leakWindscreen is cracked
Roof liner is sagged in several places
Passenger door mirror isn’t the correct one and the passenger door card is missing some trims
Heater controls don’t light up
Steering is vauge and play in drivers front
Drivers front inner cv boot is leaking
Exhaust has holes in the back box
Drivers window switch intermittently works and the trim is damaged.
Just had to top up the brake fluid suspect there’s a leak. Had a seal kit replaced in the passenger rear calliper about a year ago
Bodywork isn’t fantastic but no rust.
Again Spares or Repairs you may get up to the MoT out of it. Images to follow once it’s cleaned up. Mileage will increase. Anything else I think of will also be added.

Apparently the original listing didn't have pic number 7 and this is why the first buyer refused to proceed. I'm no expert but it does look rather corroded!
Yep, Alarming amount of rust for a low mileage car 😕.

It says in the ad. 'Looking to sell quickly as purchasing an Up Gti (probably will regret it)'
-
Have a look around the forum here I'm sure its been done many of times.
You will need a 16V boot floor installing if you want it doing correctly.

Done well to find a 3L in the uk. Was it listed online or did you seek it out locally?

Flat battery?

Thats a very rare car. There was only two made in 2005 in Anthracite. The other one was on Copart VERY recently.
There's a 05 anthracite GTi just round the corner from me

Assuming the top one is the old one 😄 Looks like the threads in the exhaust its self have pulled out and no longer exist.
