I think thats from Polo. You can use larger diameter nut instead of a lot of washers to fill up the space.

Sounds like your clutch cable has been changed and thats it. My Lupo has cable exactly as in first picture.

I remember @mk2 saying it is not possible to worn them out. Any brand will work fine.

Did you reset clutch cable? Like this. You dont need that white strap to do it.

I use monroe, its OEM for several car manufacturers, but not expensive. They even have different stiffness rates available.

Wow, that middle sill rust for Lupo and Golf IV happens only in bad occasions

I have all the cross references of all gearbox codes. Details for all 085 gearboxes is also available on this page, which I often use, but those cross references contains only Polos and are not good overall.

My first thought, when wheels points outwards it is terrible.

ETD is the same, the one from Polo 6N2 1.4 MPI is exactly what you need. Do not brake with gears at all for now, it will destroy your gearbox in no time.

Do you have central locking and it is broken or you dont have it? If you dont know you can easily remove the lock cylinder and check if you have white switch there for central locking.

Looks like I wrongly assumed that every Polo MkIII with facelift interior is also clasified as 6N2. Dont know exactly which ones exactly, but some Polo III models with new interior has these 😂

Thats an option for electric window switch for Polo 6n2, its different than open air button, it has up and down switch in top and bottom and the pictogram is different.

If your center console is not already full of other buttons (unlikely for Lupo, but possible) I advice to use these buttons from Polo6n2

Hi! First, check if it is in great condition, and repair, then go for all kind of mods. Simplest upgrades that comes to my mind: rims/tires, Audi A3 or Golf 4 front seats, Lupo 3L steering wheel, remapping and EGR delete (for diesels only).

I really advice you, once you drain the oil just open rear of gearbox cover (few 5mm screws) and check if your 5th gear is fine. Sounds like you dont have any problems with your gearbox or clutch, except you cant disengage 5th gear. It might be indication that your 5th gear bearing has been melted and it stays sticked to output shaft when you pull back selector shaft. However when I had the problem I was able to drive 5th gear in neutral pretty soon, therefore I think your 5th gear bearing is fine, but its totally worth checking. If your 5th gear is fine, just close the cover and fill the gearbox with oil. It just takes to remove wheel and plastic wheel arche and you can easily access the gearbox.
