  1. Earlier Lupo's with the hazard switch underneath the cupholders have part number 6X0 953 235 A 20H, been obsolete from VW since 2017 Later Lupo's with the hazard switch between the air vents have part number 6N0 953 235 B 302, this is still available from VW £37.91 inc vat On both versions, the relay is built into the hazard switch
  2. OP has already said one from a Polo GTI, which shares the same engine code, doesn't fit, so I'd say that a non-GTI Lupo one wouldn't fit either.
  3. 15 is the handbrake cable, part number is 6X0 609 721 E. These are obsolete from VW but says they're available through VW Heritage parts, hopefully the link works! Heritage Parts Centre - Classic Parts
  4. The pipe is obsolete from VW now, but should be available via VW Heritage parts. It comes with the top and bottom hose joined together, part number is 6X0 121 049 J
  5. They are vinyl overlays from EZMODS, and I've done the front badge too, looks so much better, especially on a red car.
  6. Has he got both blues though? Laser Blue and Raven(na) Blue.....
  7. The part number is 049 129 627 T, but from VW it's an eye-watering £71.48 inc vat, and it needs to be cut down as it's too long as it comes. If you can find an alternative, the dimensions are 40.2mm diameter x 240mm long
  8. That's the only thing that worries me with the Lupo, getting parts. VW had a massive cull back in 2020 and made around 80% of Lupo parts obsolete. Thankfully there are a few places you can get non-oe parts, but not everything. I'm glad I stockpiled a lot of spares when you could get them!
  9. I have both! I can't part with my Lupo, it's part of the family now, so not going anywhere! But I needed a new daily, so I bought a 2012 High Up! from the dealer I work for. Came fully loaded, it had 7.5k on the clock when I got it. My son now owns it as his first car and now has 75k and has been amazingly reliable. Fun car to drive, especially on 17'' rims and factory sports suspension, you can chuck it into bends and have a right laugh! The time came and it was paid off, but the intention was always to give it to my son. I thought I'd done a 5 year HP thing, but it was on a 4 year, so as soon as I found that out, I knew what I wanted. I test drove our demo Up! GTI when it first arrived (on garage plates and not even registered!) and decided it was similar enough to the Lupo in terms of fun. So I asked my mate in sales if they had any, and sure enough, they'd ordered one for stock that was due in within a few weeks. Tornado red 3 door with a black roof, beats sound system, cruise control, parking sensors and rear view camera, pretty much everything I wanted bar auto lights and wipers, but I could live with that. I kept it standard for a while, but I found that as an everyday car, it was lacking a bit of performance, especially the higher up you get in the rev range. Over 5k revs, you can really feel the power drop on a standard map. So I took her to a friends garage that does APR remaps and had the stage one map put on her. Wow! Total transformation. It now revs to the red line without fuss, pulls like a train and still gives me 55mpg+ everyday. I've added a Forge intake, Forge dump valve and the VW Racingline turbo elbow, I reckon she's got to be making 145-150bhp now easily. I love the noise of the dump valve too, really catches people out when they walk past! Next mods are going to be an exhaust and coilovers, I'm thinking of trying the Lupo Whiteline rear ARB as well. It handles quite well for a standard car, but does roll a bit in corners. The seats could be a bit more supportive for enthusiastic driving, but they are comfortable on long journeys. I'd love to find a set of Polo GTI front seats to see if they'd fit one-day. It ticks all my boxes as a daily, I bought it new in April 2019 and I've covered nearly 48k of fun happy miles. It's not the Lupo, but it feels similar and has the smile factor like the Lupo. It doesn't feel as special as the Lupo, and lets be honest, I doubt any manufacturer will ever go to town on a small car like VW did with the Lupo GTI ever again. Side by side they're similar in a lot of ways, and I love my Up nearly as much as I do my Lupo, so it's another car I'm planning on keeping. The Up is a far easier car to make faster as it's turbo'd already, but I still prefer the Lupo. It just has something about it that I love.
  10. @Johnstanyer96doesn't 3D print the actual pump though, only the jets
  11. And that isn't listed for any VAG group cars, they are all FIAT group vehicles, so no idea if it's compatible or not, expensive way of finding out!
  12. And even the part number they suggest in the 'System Remark' box is obsolete now as well
  13. VW don't list it separately, in fact the steering column is obsolete from VW now anyway
  14. From the picture on ETKA, VW don't sell that part separately, it's part of the steering column
  15. It looks like part number 6X0 807 599 A
  16. If you mean the airbag slip ring, then it's this part:
  17. @johnstayner96 3d prints these but only as a pair, they are long obsolete from VW
  18. Sounds like you may need a new thermostat outlet, they are made with a solid piece of plastic that runs across the middle of the outlet that a pin on the thermostat pushes onto when its opening. Even with a new thermostat fitted, if the plastic piece is missing, it has nothing to push the pin onto, so the thermostat can't open
