  1. You can also find Antera rims with valve placed under center cap.
  2. Are you searching for thermostat or temperature sensor?
  3. I think ALD engine is same as several lupo and polo 6N2 engines, cranckshaft sensor is located under gearbox bell, you can try to locate through starter hole.
  4. The correct OEM code for this part is 6N2721403 for RHD and 1J1721403G for LHD.
  5. Is that brake caliper? One of the holes are for bleeding and other one for brake hose.
  6. Very accurate. To be exact it is that hard, but some guys still managed to make one. @Josh93 , I strongly don't advice to try this modification, but I will be glad if you will try and get it done.
  7. The description says seller already has a code for this one "Mit Code"
  8. The whole rear end of sill most probably is rusted, Lupos typically have rust on front (under wings) and rear of sill, arches is only one more indicator of heavy rust. You should remove the rear wheel housing liner, and, after removing dirt, I am pretty sure you will be able to press your fingers trought end of sill. Check both sides.
  9. Recently my gearbox started to drop off the plastic sideways shifting rod, bought new plastic part, and it happened again. After removing the part I found out it was littlebit weared out, check picture. I even needed to use vice to get the plastic rod on replacement part. Lucky I got replacement part from my spare gearbox, which is not totally fresh as well. Came out if you don't replace ball bushing on the end of vertical shifting rod, not only it will have a lot of freeplay, but it will also wear out the inner of this part. Looks like tooth cavity, littlebit more and there would be two actual holes. . Replacement part was not perfect as well, but at least in much more better condition. Soon my Lupo will reach its 200 000th mile and it was not well maintained before.
  10. If you grind/saw off the bottom of the rear mount, they are plug and play, they have littlebit different rear floor mount angle.
  11. I have heard aluminum valve covers sometimes bends, and I just realised Lupo has aluminum valve cover too, isn't this the actual cause of leakage?
  12. I dont know anyhing about yaris, būt cooper has way more expensive maintaince parts than lupo. lupo is very simple and cheap if you can repair your car yourself.
  13. 👍 This set, shown in picture, is for lupo. You can also see manuals for this on https://workshop-manuals.com/volkswagen/polo-mk3/body/general_body_repairs_exterior/front_door_central_locking/doors_front/removing_and_installing_lock_cylinder_with_inner_profile_key/ I just use the top part which holds spring in place (the one which he removed at 0:45 in video) to reassemble the lock. Just turn the spring in place with those little extensions and push it down. But be very careful by holding the spring down, I laughted about importance of VAG OEM T10009 tool until I nearly got the spring in my eye.
  14. I don't want to sell them while I own lupo. Search for door frame roof bars, I think its more accurate therm for them. It is exactly about surf board/windsurf straping, use seperate straps and lupo roof racks will work just fine. And I like bicycle holders with front wheel removed, because they feel more stable on long drives.
  15. You can use any universal on edge roof bars, I have old mont blanc ones, the point is they are very strong, but do not try to pull them together by attaching objects with singe starp to both bars.
  16. First you set subframe, only then try to set lower arms, finally you can make a little adjustment by moving the ball joint, at the end of arms, littlebit diagonally in bolt spaces. Not much abilities to adjust something. There are also available special screws for more subframe adjusting.
  17. These looks like 195/40 R16 tires which has 22inch diameter, therefore this setup should be totally fine. Filling arches is not the same as making sure they are not rubbing while driving. On OEM setup 23inch tires will rub against the fender arch and the bumper on large bumps because of soft spring rate, which allows a large amount of travel. If you have coilovers then it might be possible to use 23inch tires. It is not about rim size, it is all about tire diameter, width and offset. Could use R17 rims on Lupo, but with 185/35 R17 tires and proper offset.
  18. I came to conclusion this was false statement - Lupo is made for 22inch tires (diameter), all follwing tires are 22inch: 175/65 R13 155/65 R14 185/55 R14 195/45 R15 (21,91", OEM Lupo GTI) 195/40 R16 (22.14") 23" tires (like 185/55 R15 and 195/45 R16), without special modifications, will occasionally rub.
  19. This informative page very clearly says you are right: https://europa.eu/youreurope/business/taxation/vat/vat-rules-rates/index_en.htm There should be a way to get these items without paying VAT twice.
  20. As far as I know, they aren't allowed to remove vat for any person or legal entity which is not in listed in EU VAT register and they must always check it to not cause troubble for themselves. https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/?locale=en However your article made me questioning myself and I will read more about the new order.
  21. This is very interesting, can you name specific Regulations, Directives or other acts, or at least website with info, on which You are referring to?
  22. If thats the FSI engine, I dont think the FSI engine will be reliable for Lupo.
  23. Isnt the widely available replacement thing from polo6n2 and longer than lupo one? All the polo replacement lock barrel can be used for lupo, but the thing at the end is different and one more part must be slightly modifyed for lupo thing at the end.
  24. If you dont have rear brake regulator its easy to remove rear coil springs, unscrew bushings, leave rear axle hanging in shocks and replace the bushings with bushing press tool. I done it in less than 4hours without any experience.
