  1. Hi I have owned this car for just over two months now and I can't fault it its a great car!- nippy, sticks to the road, responsive... But I need something bigger, as much as I love small VWs. It's done 94k miles, it's got MOT till December, it's completely standard apart from a backbox delete so the exhaust is a bit louder (sounds good). Body work and paint is good condition apart from a scuff on the front bumper. Interior is good for the age and I've got stacks of history for it. The top end was rebuilt 10-12k miles ago with new valve seats, valves, head gasket, timing belts etc. (So engine drives spot on, gearbox is good too! (This is the 5 speed model). Since owning it I've replaced both drivers side window switches, drivers door lock mechanism, front pads and discs, oil and filter change, air filter, got the tracking done and spent a lot of time polishing the car. All in all it is a great car but I do need something bigger for work and sadly can't afford to run two cars at the moment. Car is fully hpi and accident clear etc. I am looking for £3200 for the car and it is located in Torquay (South Devon). Feel free to message me for any questions you have about the car, cheers.
  2. Doing the conversion from drums to discs... Does anyone happen to know if the GTI has handbrake return springs that sit on the rear of the calliper? Thanks, Sergio.
  3. i was wondering is there a way i could take the power steering off of my gti and buy a manual rack of a old lupo? would it be a direct bolt on job? i think it should be as there are the same shell??? cheers.
  4. My beloved GTi is struggling a bit getting it's drivers side headlight turned on! When the lights are turned on, all 4 fronts light up, but the drivers side xenon flickers on and off full brightness before turning off after about 10s. I have a suspicion it's the (rather expensive) ballast that's causing the problem, but wondered if anyone else has had a similar issue? My battery hasn't been overly happy recently, but given regular usage it seems to charge fine and the battery issues predate the light problem. Any help would be much appreciated!!
  5. Vw lupo gti seats for sale, front and rear. Text me on 07935056061 if you're interested.
  6. Hey Everyone! Im new to the site and the forums! Im not doing to many mods just yet as its only my first year of driving. maybe in a year or two i might do a few mods - i.e lowering, alloys, and other bits etc Ive put in a Sony WX-GT90BT (Double Din) stereo in, im considering a speaker upgrade aswell, or at leats putting some speakers in the back. Anyway, Ive just bought a lupo gti interior, and ive got a couple of questions. - Is the swap straight forward? like a few bolts and they come straight out? - Does the GTI interior go straight in? no need for drilling new mount holes etc? - Does it fit? The back seat is a bench and the standard lupo interior is two seperate seats, just wondering if its wider or the same? Also do the GTI rear seats still fold down? THANKS IN ADVANCE!

  10. I was wondering would it be possible to swap 5th out of a diesel gear box such as a 1.7 sdi gear box and install the 5th gear into my 5 speed lupo gti gearbox so I can have a longer 5th gear? I haven't seen anyone else post about it so I'm wondering if it is possible to swap or is there another way around it??? Would be great if someone could get bavk with a answer, cheers.
  11. Right I know I'll get some stick for this but I'll go ahead anyway. Who's got any gauges? And photos of them. I'm looking for what suits a lupo as I'll be playing with mine in the coming months....
  12. I'm wanting to change the speedo and binnacle cover in my lupo. Are the polo and lupo speedo and binnacle the same? Cheers in advance Kailum.
  13. Hello, So I managed to burst my inner CV joint yesterday on my car, which resulted in losing drive. I have to go get a spline tool to remove it today, and have priced a replacement Inner CV with TPS.... £163! (To put it into perspective I've just bought a run around Audi A4 for £180!) Did a quick search on here for the following part numbers that I have discovered are associated with this part 6N0498103A (possibly superseeded by?...) 6N0498103AX So my question is, is it possible to source one for cheaper? Or do I just bite the bullet and buy it? Has to be ordered too, so won't be until after Christmas till I see it! Cheers Mick
  14. Lupo Gti interior seats for sale. Looking for £200 ono Will post at buyers expense
  15. Right. So my GTI is draining its battery. The battery is fine (Holds charge and copes well with a discharge test). I also bought a brand new battery over spec'd for the car and that also keeps dying. I've done the usual checks, all earths and positive cables are fine, I've removed the fuses one by one to observe a change in drain (Albeit did change - but it stayed at about 2.88A) all to no avail. Then i removed all fuses (Including engine fuses) and it read 2.88A. The weird thing is, if i leave the car disconnected (Say over night) and check the drain in the morning, it's normal (between 0.1-0.2A). If i leave the car connected to the battery the drain increases - so after a full day and night of being attached its reading anything upward of 2.8A - the highest being 3.2A!!!! I read on here that the CCM can sometimes be an issue, but my thinking is that if I've removed all of the fuses, nothing should be live? (With the exception of the starter motor as that's got a permanent live from the battery). Does anyone have any other avenues I should look at? As it's pretty tiresome having it go dead constantly. If i have no luck then i'll book it into VW so they can take a look at it. Thanks in advance, Matt
  16. So the dipped beam lights have always flickered. Finally decided to sort it and just wondered if anyone has any experience with the Xenons and the components that could likely be the cause. There's no pinkish tinge and also the lights shine brightly then get dimmer as time passes. They also get Brighter when indicating or breaking. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance, Matt

    Gti sump

    Anyone know if a polo Gti sump will fit a lupo Gti if same engine code? Or is anyone selling a sump
  18. Hi people I'm Joe. I got my first lupo in February 2010 and was a flash red 1.0l (which you may have seen is up for sale). I wanted to start something fresh so I brought my self my second lupo, Soft blue, 1.4s, 62k on the clock tonnes of history with it and standard! I thought this would be a good start for me. I will get pictures up ASAP. I know all people are going to say is lows and slam it but I can't afford that ATM so saving up, and I got some G60s in refurbing to go on it. I intend to keep it clean, and how you enjoy to thread for the future. Joee
  19. Hello people, I have just bagged myself a bargain (mk2 golf gti 8v 1986) and my lupo gearbox has just blow its self to pieces I am thinking of getting a 1.8 20vt for the golf and taking the 1.8 gti engine out of the golf and into the lupo, was just wondering if any has ever done this? and if so how long was the process of doing it? i need the lupo back on road asap if not it will be a case of finding someone with a replacement gearbox
  20. I was wondering if other people have had people trying to buy their Lupo GTi in the street, so to speak. The first time, a couple of months ago, someone left a note on my windscreen with their number saying they want to buy my wolfie and just now, I popped to the local newsagent and as I got out the car, someone stopped me, told me how much they love them and asked if I wanted to sell it. When I told him it wasn't for sale, he said he would give me a great offer. I declined, obviously. Do any of you have this happen to you ? I put it down to the rarity of the little GTIs as I have only had this happen to me once before, when I had a Mk1 Focus RS but I believe these little GTi babies are even rarer.
  21. Hi, I have a golf 1.4 16v 75bhp, (tried posting on golf forums but got no help at all) its an x reg, it has a polo 1.6gti throttlebody, injectors and inlet manifold.Also has an induction kit, uprated HT leads & a scorpion backbox (if that matters) At the minute the air/fuel mix is all to cock (i think)it wont rev past 2-3k with foot flat to floor, but it will gradually go past 3k if you gently press it then you can floor it and it will happily rev to the limiter. Also if you try to floor it at 2k revs it sort of misfires and sounds like its backfiring through the intake Does it just need a re-map or should I try putting the 1.4 injectors back in and removing the induction kit, because i still have all the spare parts. Cheers If it does need a remap where is the best place to get one?
  22. hi iv had a 1.0l lupo for a couple years and iv lowered it and fitted some wider wheels but i couldn't see the point in making it any faster. but i just bought a gti lupo about a month ago. its completly standard but will be getting kw coilovers and some wide wheels (not sure what yet) i want to modify the engine to get it a bit quicker and the first thing will be the exhaust system. so any ideas? iv been looking at the scorpion cat back system so if anyone has any reviews of them would be useful. cheers
  23. hi i have a vw lupo gti and im thinking about buying some 15 inch cades blast wheels but there 8j wide with only 20 offset. will they fit? thanks
  24. Hello all, to anyone who can help, my Gti is currently fitted with a decat mid section and has failed the emissions test on the MOT. I have a few solutions but I need help: 1. Anyone got an exhaust I can borrow for a day? Willing to travel and pay! 2. Get a custom mid section with CAT In place. 3. Cut the decat pipe and weld a CAT in place. 4. Try and acquire the rare find that is a "full exhaust" system with all the bits on. Any other suggestions would also be appreciated, Cheers
  25. Unfortunately some tit has smashed the casing off my OS wing mirror. looking on ebay they have very few lupo replacements that are pre-painted, most come primed. however they do have pre painted ones for a mk4 golf. someone told me that the mk4 golf mirror casing is identical to the OS lupo casing. can anyone confirm if this is true? Cheers!
