they are for a lupo gti looks like its had the wrong ball joints put on it.

hi all just a few questions. has the lupo gti got different wishbones to the standard lupo's have looked around for the answer but keep getting different information. some people say they are the same as normal lupo's its the lower ball joint thats different? have asked 2 different vag dealers and they came back with different answers. one said they were the same the other said they were different. Any help would be a great help cheers jay

this is checkmates address as well as phone number as above tried to ring this number but know reply. people like this muppet should be band of the forum. i'm working away at the moment but when i return will be paying a little vist to the address below. ainsley chang 71 hillary rd southall middlesex UB2 4PT

still not recieved the airbox that i've paid for has it been posted yet. there seems to to a pattern forming here at the moment people have paid for parts and not recieved them. could you sort it out please or send a full refund as this is getting a joke.

vw quoted £180 for 1 new key + £56 to code it. changed full lock sets before on cars its just they have never needed to be coded after. would rare have full set of all new locks with all 3 keys. just wondering if anbody had Vag Com in the area then would pay them instead.

hi all well bit of a question about lupo GTI keys. i only have one key for my lupo GTI but have been offered a new lock set. which is from the right year for the GTI. Right number of questions. has anybody got Vag Com in the Staffordshire area and can they code new keys to the alarm. Or is it take it to the Dealers to get the new keys programmed. has anybody done this on the forum and there is a how to somewhere.

well just had a read of this thread. its horses for courses. but the difference is build quality. if you go for 106 or a saxo the quality is not good at all. must be a french thing. and remember a fast 1/4 mile doesn't mean that it can go around corners. i have a lupo gti and it puts a smile on my face when i get the chance to drive the thing. and yes V tec honda's are a great engine but look at the style of the car they go in.

hi all well my 2001 GTI rev counter started to play up. don't know if it was the cold spell we've had but. Some days it wouldn't go back to 0rpm it might start at 3rpm even thou the car was on tick over. then some days it says its ticking over at 200rpm seems to just come and go at the moment anybody any idea's cheers jay

has anybody got the part No off a standard lupo gti airbox please as have found one but need to know the part No please cheers jay

hi all right the rubber hose that comes off the power steering reservoir are they the same on all lupo's mine has a split in it and vw can't get one for 2 weeks. mine is a gti so are they the same or different cheers james

hi all well been offered some Borbet A's 7.5 x 16 et20 set of 4 will they fit or will i have inner front wheelarch issues when on full lock. and if anybody has got pictures could you put them up please. cheers jay

cheers mike good old VW they never let you down with using parts out of different bins to make cars.

hi all does anybody know if there is a difference between the airbox and pipework off a lupo gti and a lupo 1.4 16v sport. As i have a lupo gti and want to put it back to standard but can not seem to find the airbox and pipework setup anywhere. So may have to find one off a 1.4 16v sport. cheers jay

Yep well chugged with it. Still after a standard airbox and engine cover if anybody has one

bonnet head lights raditor grill bumper outer plastic skin slam panel off the top of my head. working away so full info is at home with the gti. inner wings show no sign of any damage. i've bought the lupo to use its not going to be a show pony. but well happy with it. sure some people get nervous with cars that have been damaged repaired but if you know what to look for then you can get great car for not alot of money.

hi all what size tyres should be put on 16 alloys for a lupo gti just bought a gti and the tyres catch on the inner front arch plastics on full lock the tyres are 215/40/16 are they the right size.

hi all well after some looking about a picked up a a lupo gti 2001 y reg 5 speed a/con s/roof etc for £2900. it was cat c at some point in its life but the mileage checked out with a vehicle check at 24700 was genuine. also has all the the vw reciepts for the parts that were needed to put it back on the road and the vic check as well. well happy with it at the moment and so is the missus. feels like a mk1 gti abit puts a smile on your face. will get some pictures up soon. but i'm after a standard air box and engine cover as it has a k&n at the moment but if anybody has one let me know cheers jay

read the build thread about your OEM lupo gti looks great i can see taking to you alot when i get my lupo gti.

they can't be as bad as mk1 gti can they?

thanks phil just trying to get a heads up what to look for. spent alot of time on mk1 gti's +caddy's +corrado g60's etc. haven't even driven one yet so not to sure what to expect. hope its a bit like a mk1 gti but then something the missus can drive as well.

thanks james yep read lots of the threads on the club lupo. yep i am mechanically minded have played about with vw's for years. but never worked on a lupo or know anybody who has had one. hence this is why i'm asking the question before i go looking. so any advice would be a great help. cheers jay

Right looking at buying a lupo GTI.what are the Pro and Cons. here different things all the time. ie is 6 speed better than 5 speed. gearbox issues, pedal box issues, can anybody give me a few tell tale signs what to look for.had various vw's but never played about with lupo's before so any help would be greatfully recieved cheers jay
