what size wheels are these? offset etc? tyre size?

the lupo cvs and shafts fit. you need to get 100mm cups for the gearbox (find a mk3 golf tdi box. this already has 100mm cups) and 100mm inner cv joints. only passenger side shaft need to be shortened by around 40mm, but I suppose this depends on where the engine is located. mine was 40mm shorter. as for ecu, i'd stick with the ecu from the 1.8t. try and get an AGU engine. a lot easier and stronger. i'm using a megasquirt, but its proving to be quite a challenge to get the fuelling ok.

few questions Norpan, what power steering pipes did you use, and how did you wire the speedo?

seen welded box section across the two chassis legs and a mk2 golf mount used

does anyone who's done a 1.8T conversion into a lupo know how to wire in the speedo? using a Mk3 TDi box. also, is it possible to get the rev counter working? using megasquirt ECU.

my 1.4 8v was, 1 1/4" diameter pipe, so I used a 1 1/2" clamp to compensate for the overlap and rust.

hello folks, me again. i'm about to plumb in my power steering but will need to source the correct pipes. my question is, looking from the front of the car (arosa) the steering rack has two banjo fittings, 1 high one and 1 lower down. what one of these goes to the pump? with this information I should be able to figure out what I need. the top banjo is 14mm and the lower 16mm. the pump has a 16mm fitting but i'm not convinced that the 2 16mm banjos should be connected. if anyone has a Haynes manual or a diagram, even better. 1.8T AGU engine and power steering pump standard arosa power steering. cheers in advance

Problem solved, new master cylinder. Seals must be away in the other one. Part is off a mk1 focus. 2 port

Need the spacer or the brakes will bind. Was at it again last night. Come to the conclusion that it's a dodgy master cylinder as when I press the pedal the fluid level rises. Looks like a seals away. Ordered a new one so hopefully it works. Thanks for the replies

cheers for the reply Geoff, I've done a 20v conversion into my 1.4MPi. the standard master cylinder was fouling the top cam pulley and had to opt for the Ibiza cupra/ ford focus stubby master cylinder. the calipers are from a lupo gti.

HELP! I've Installed the cupra/focus master cylinder, bled the lines but have no pressure. Pedal going to the floor. I have the 3mm spacer between the servo and the master cylinder. Any ideas appreciated

So I'm nearing the end of my conversion. Custom exhaust time. Problem I'm having is trying to get the brakes to work!! I've opted for the focus/cupra master cylinder, bench bled the MS and no air in the lines but the brake pedal is going to the floor!! Anyone any ideas? I have lupo sport calipers which are not seized. Pedal gets to the floor before the brakes start to work. No stopping power. I have the 3mm spacer between the servo and MS. Wondering whether to try removing this for more reach with the push rod to see what happens.

I'm wanting to put a 1.6 aee block and head into my 1.4 arosa. Existing engine code is aex. Do you know if this is a straight swap over?

Come on folks, someone must know?

Long story short; My arosa 1.4 AEX engine is goosed, planning to replace it but was wondering how much hassle it would be to put the 1.6 AEE engine in. Does everything from the aex engine fit the aee, Would I need all the aee manifolds and fuel parts, Does the aex ecu fit the aee. Any help folks before I spend my hard earned cash on something I can't use.
