  1. I had a little bump at about 5mph the other day, and now the front bumper on the passenger side has been pushed out abit nothing major just about 5-10 mm and the plastic trim that holds the indicators on the front has been pushed out I think. So basically does anyone know how to fix this with out taking it to the body shop?
  2. I have a constant creak from the tailgate area. I think I've ruled out the lock and the wiper and now considering ill fitting offside rear light assembly. Any views ?
  3. So I've put some borbet type A's on my loop and while I'm waiting for my new wheel studs to arrive I just used the ones from the steel wheels, not good i know, but the wheel knock like mad under cornering and I was wondering if its because of the studs?
  4. I am wondering is there a way to remove the plastic protection trim that is attached to the outside of the door to protect from people banging your door? If so can some body explain how to take it off please? Thanks
  5. Hello, I'm looking to give my dashboard a small upgrade, so far i have started with replacing the radio that was stock with a Sony one. I'm looking to change my gear stick knob also and would like any links to some that yous think are good looking and comfy and if someone one could explain the process in replacing one that would be great also I'm also on the looking for the dials that control the heating and AC, if yous have any links to metal or chrome ones that would be great! And finally if yous have any suggestions on what I should do to the dashboard or interior please let me know Thank you David
  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!
  7. Hi all, I am a new member on here! I didn't want this to be my first post (I had intended on pics of te car when I bought it etc) but I need some advice! I have recently bought a 2001 Lupo TDi which although in pretty good condition the service history is a little sketchy as to what has been done (or not), so, I decided it would be a good idea to change the timing belt and give it a service before using it as my daily and retiring my Mk2 to a somewhat sidelined role (ie selling it; much to my dismay)! What a ball ache that hydraulic tensioner damper thing is! Much prefer the newer design tensioner like on the 52 plate mk4 I had! Couldn't get the blasted thing to depress so had to take the tensioner pulley and roller off to get the belt off then take the damper off and compress it in a vice, when it all went back together could not get the gap to 4mm even with the locking plate still in the damper ( 5 was the closest I could get it), but after pulling the locking plate it was more like 6 or 7mm! Took it apart and put it back in the vice once again bit the same thing happened again! Can anyone tell me if this is normal and it will be ok or do I need to try something else to get the gap closer? Any help appreciated, thanks!
  8. Will a mk5 golf double din cd player (gps system) fit into a lupo? Help?

    5x112 to 4x100

    Just wondering if anyone has used any adaptor sat all for their loops or 'rosa's, any recommendations and would it be easy enough to make with the right tool and materials?
  11. Hi guys so I was just wondering what's the best way to go about fitting wheels that are 5x112 to a loop don't fancy getting any new ones as I made these ones up nicely for my taste. Could I convert the axle ends or will I need new axles I have access to a fabrications workshop so and work can be done that's needed. Any help would be great thank you!
  12. When I have been driving around lately and have started to hear a annoying noise (not a whining noise but more like a clicking noise) when I'm in 3rd gear and above, sound like its coming from the gearbox area. Has anyone had this same problem?

    Back box help :)

    Hey I want to get a new back box for my car, to make it louder and sound better, but I don't know whether to go straight through, or to order a new one. I don't really want to spend lots of money on it but was thinking about buying a sportex one from ebay, has anyone got any reviews on them or know any better alternatives for roughly the same price I'm looking for something that sounds nice but isn't stupidly loud. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Lupo-1-0-1-4-Sportex-Exhaust-Tailbox-Single-3-/351123754212?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item51c09b4ce4 Any help will be appreciated Thanks
  14. Hi Guys, Basically I've got rid of the old coilovers and replaced them with new ones. They are TA Technix which are not the best, but I'm on a budget. The coilovers are adjusted the exact same height and are tightly bolted in etc. There is no unwanted movement. Yet, when I drive it's quite bumpy on a smooth road and the steering is light and pulls sharply to the right at times. I know that I may need tracking done, but wondered if you guys had any ideas and could help me out. Cheers
  15. Hi there I am having a problem with my electrics at the moment. My car somehow had the battery drained but the only things i had done electronically was having a new radio put in (took the wires out of the old one and put them in the new one) and putting a cigarette lighter in because the last owner took it out. I took it to a garage and they said that the alternater was charging and the battery was taking the charge and my dials were working fine at this point but i took the negative connector off the battery just to make sure it didnt die (I had to drive back home that day for 2 hours ) but when i reconnected it, the dials wont work properly. The petrol dial will go from 0 to near full and stay there when the electrics are put on, the temp gauge is stuck at the top, the handbrake light stays on along with the battery light and the rev and speed dials wont work either. The light for the dials wont come on when i put the headlights on either. The time started at 0:00 but is changing and the mileage part just comes up with a few random lines. Has anyone had this problem with the dials and been able to sort this? and does this sound like there is a power drain?
  16. My EML came on today and didn't go off. It was quite difficult to set off and it was 'stuttering' in every gear. It's came on before but went straight off. I have no idea what it could be and if anyone would be able to give us an idea that'd be great. I know this is could be a range of things but I can't really narrow it down anymore as I daren't start it. Thanks Chris.
  17. Someone is willing to sell me the following equpitment for £50 but i am unsure if this is good value as i already have a setup and would probably just sell it on. Infinity Reference RA6006 6 way amplifier Infinity Reference 475a 4 way amplifier Infinity 12" subwoofer (not sure on product name) Your help will be greatly appreciated
  18. I have got my first lupo and i am looking about mods and because this will be my first car i will modify, i am unsure of what to get for it. It came with a cone air filter and coilovers. I will be getting new alloys for it but im a bit stuck as i do not know what else could be done.
  19. Hi ive come on here as I know its the best place to get the straight answer by the people will know the best..... I know there Is a pinned topic about the gearbox issue already but im being asked specific questions by someone who is meant to be getting me a Recon box...... I know that my Box code is FFR & that this is the same part number as 4 other Box codes. He is asking me if the Gear Selector is Underneath or on top of the Gearbox?? also if the Sump is Aluminium or Steel..... if anyone would be able to answer his questions for me then I would much appreciate it because im currently unable to find the answers online & don't have access to a garage for a few days. Thank you in advance Ashley Lonie

  21. Any one know if you Can fit Golf 1.9 tdi injectors to a lupo 1.4 tdi?
  22. I have a 1.4i sport lupo 16v, currently both my windows arn't working. I've tried changing the fuses so I know it's not that. Whenever I try put them down or up they make a small single click noise as if there trying to move but they can't! Is there an easy way to fix this or will I need new window motors?
  23. After nearly a year of owning my Loop, I have only just clocked that most other Gti's have two catalytic converters on them and mine only has one, attached to the manifold, yet the sensor part way down the mid section is still in place and the pipe seems to be OEM ? Any ideas , I'm assuming that someone has removed it , will this cause an emissions test failure ?
  24. Hey I was wondering if anyone could help me with any information regarding how much camber you get from different size washers? Or what people are using? Or doing differently? And how people are achieving camber on the front, I know you can change a bolt so it's smaller are there any other ways? Cheers Josh
  25. I am having problems with my starter not turning the engine properly, the symptoms are strange: It grinds but the flywheel if not damaged The power drops to 8v, sometimes cutting the power to the stereo loosing presets etc... After about 2 to 3 seconds of grinding noise the car turns and starts straight away. It is a re-manufactured bosch starter The battery is brand new and capable of 670amps After the car is started I can stop it and it starts fine every time after, then if I let it sit for an hour the same thing happens! I thought it would be the solenoid getting a little stuck but I don't think that the motor would spin then! Please help I am very confused
