  1. hi, ill take one tomorrow because its dark now. knew id forgot something! haha
  2. Reluctantly up for sale is my 2001 Y plate Lupo GTI. Genuine reason for sale as i am in desperate need for a van for work and can’t keep the Lupo too. If I had my way it would be at the end of the drive until i could afford to use it as a daily but unfortunately that is just not doable so since I bought it from clublupo it only seemed fair to try sell it on clublupo so i know it is going to someone who will appreciate it like I have done. Mileage – 82654 (slow increase until deposit secured as i need it to get the 2 miles to work each day, once deposit secured car will not be used!) TAX – 6months MOT – 6months Colour – Moon silver Owners – 3 including me I have owned this car for 2 and a bit years now and have not had any MAJOR issues, starts first time, every time, even in the cold winter months! Car has been regularly serviced (although book not stamped) and all MOT’s since my ownership were at VW in Leeds. In fact i have all the service and MOT paperwork and it looks like most of the work was don’t at VW dealers! If I had to buy anything for this car most of the time it was from VW TPS or lupoboz on here, recent items in the last two months include injectors, HT leads and coil pack costing me a small fortune, saving the buyer one!! Ha-ha This GTI comes on 4 month old AP coilovers (like new) with polished ATS cups running slightly stretched kumho tyres (all in good condition). I have changed the front bushes to powerflex and fitted new drop links and top mounts all when the coilovers were fitted. The front bumper has been smoothed out so plate can be taken off at shows. IMO looks brill! Other modifications include:- De-wipered rear (although i still have this should the buyer require it) Aftermarket exhaust (wish i had information about this but it was on when i bought the car, IMO sounds miles better but not too loud, unless you put your foot down ) Red grille surround added to front Inner VW badge on front painted red Small Ariel EBC Greenstuff pads Smaller rear vw badge off a passat – colourcoded Set of front Porsche 944 tombstone seats (rear GTI seats - fabric covered to match (not retrimmed on rear!) Audi TT knee rests I have 2 keys for this car but I think only one ticks the engine over. I have upgraded this to a flip key but still have not managed to make this work remotely yet so I have to open the car with the key. Probably an easy fix but i haven’t had time recently. I have spent allot on this car and some people may have seen it about at shows the past two years, this year it was at ultimate dubs, VW festival, modified nationals, the big fat tour, and Edition 38, so people who have seen this will appreciate the effort I have put in. Like all cars it is not 100% perfect but the small problems should not deter you as they haven’t me:- Dash needs repainting – see pics One rear arch must have been repainted at some point, although all is straight and true there is a slight bit of what looks like paint spray, I covered the worst with my big fat tour sticker so is really not that noticeable. If you unlock the car and then open the passenger door the alarm goes off although from reading on here it’s possible this could be a micro switch or similar? All I do is unlock the car and put the key in the ignition and wait a few seconds before you open the passenger door. Few small stone chips on the bonnet, not bad for age, but try to be 100% honest. V5 present. Always cleaned, polished and waxed in either auto glym, meguires or poor boys. Priced at £4200. Please email me either on here or at rutherford9028@live.co.uk any time of the day or call me on 07989673255 (calls only after 3 please as i can never hear it at work) for any questions or viewings and I’ll try to help. Located in Garforth, Leeds just off the M1 If there is anything else I can remember I will update as I remember
  3. As per title. Looked lowered too. Never seen another GTI in garforth before sweeeetttt

  6. Hi guys wondering if someone can help me with this. My remote central locking stopped working some time ago. Well it works every now and again but hardly ever and a friend said my remotes were shot so I decided to give the flip key idea a go. I bought a full new case and got the key cut, also bought an old flip key ( 3 button square type) and swapped over the internals along with my little chip out of my lupo key. Went to programme it and put the old key in the ignition, ignition on, manually locked the car with my new key, took it out and thein pressed the unlock button. Nothing! No horn, so waited 6-7 seconds pressed it again, nothing. So manually unlocked the car and tried tge new remote in the ignition and it works, turns the car over fine but will not remotely lock or unlock the car so I'm back to square 1!! The light on the fob flashes So I know it works. Is there anything else I can try as I miss remote locking Maybe my problem does not lie with the remote. Please help. Danny
  7. Hi I'm in the middle of changing to flip keys and need to get my spare blade cut but can't find anyone in the Leeds area. Ended up at a timpsons in sainsburys. He said he would have a go but couldn't promise anything so he did and it doesn't work I have one spare blank blade but just have no idea where to go ? Danny
  8. As above, to fit a GTI but must be in a good condition (no scratches ect) thanks, PM me. Danny
  9. Wind deflectors sold?? Danny
  10. As per title, half was soft blue but quite a lot of primer too looked like it's in a smoothing state I was a few behind you in a GTI but you went up towards elland rd.
  11. Exactly. Gonna have a deek but I'm sure there is no drainage holes. Do we have a piccy of the holes? Danny
  12. I have this would be interesting to find out what it is.
  13. It's fixed would you believe after trying 3 different ht leads I tried one more thinking if it's not this then I'm taking it to a garage and it's running sweet! Just shows how temperamental the silicone leads are! The last one (which was new may I add) has cracked my NGK plug down tge ceramic part which will explain it getting worse. So a new plug and lead and codes cleared and it's running great again. Just gonna give it a good service now and fill the tank and enjoy driving again. Cheers guys for the help and thanks to defcon5 for your time, be sure I'll be down next time I have a fault
  14. My mate did it, he is a mechanic so trust him to do it right. Straight down the tb a little bit at a time. Na it didn't stall just got better haha
  15. Errm maybe about 2-3 weeks ago?? Slightly bad at first, gradually worse. Big jase - put most o a bottle of red-x in throttle body and one in tge fuel and tbf it sounded sweet at first but then went back to standardly sh*t lol. Need fuel now so gonna put some in tomorrow and see if it makes a change, praying it was just a dodgy batch of fuel but know it won't be Edit, by gufted you mean busted? Maybe not opening the top? Humm. Worth a check
  16. Yep swapped them around twice feels more than a slight misfire now. I'm not even using it at the moment. Danny
  17. Si once u get in the new estate you need to go straight on at about 3x mini roundabouts, ignore sat nav!! They must not have updated the estate on them yet So it tells you not to go far enough in. Haha. Toms a top lad he will look after you!!
  18. Ok now it will not work at all, could it maybe have something to do with the convinience unit? Could this also be related to a really bad misfire I am currently having? As in if the key is not reading right in the barrel? Mind you this would not affect the unlocking and locking of the doors as it has done?? :/
  19. I know. New coil pack dudnt make slight bit of change so thought injectors the next thing to try. Hoping it's not ecu related??
  20. Put a new injector in no3 already
  21. Is that it? Oh this will Deffo have to be done when you say AH Suffix you meaaannnn??.... sorry 4 being thick. Thanks danny
  22. I have it running and unplugging tge clips going to the injectors one at a time and once again when I unplug injector 3 there is no change so I'm thinking there is no electric getting to it... Any ideas?
