  1. My Lupo has been sat idle for ages, after a failed MOT, long enough for the battery to go flat. Charged it up but couldn't find the usual key so tried the spare from the manual, but it wouldn't start the car. Any ideas or solutions? Edit: Car is a 54 plate if that helps.
  2. Hey guys, My dog got around my key and chewed it. I want to change it with an OEM flip key from local dealer, only I don't know what to ask them? Is there a part number i could get? I have central locking, with 2 buttons on my original keys. Thank you!
  3. I'm after a complete lock/key and mechanism assembly for a lupo tailgate 51plate in red. Although colour not important. Cheers in advance
  4. I've just bought a complete Mk2 bootlid and i intend to fit it to my Mk1. This is a non central locking bootlid so wiring will have to be transferred and a new lock and handle will need to be purchased. However to be able to use my existing key, regardless of which handle is fitted, the lock and barrel will have to be switched OR modified. I have done the latter and modified the lock to be fully functional with my existing key. This is how it was done: I removed the handle from the boot to do this but it can be done with it still fitted. 6 Nuts is all that is holding it in so its not too hard to remove and makes life a lot easier later on. First things first, you will need to remove the e clip and lock arm There will be a C shaped clip retaining the next part, i have already removed it in the above picture. This clip is the difficult one to re-install as it is retaining a spring plate. Be careful when removing this as the springs are under pressure and WILL want to fly everywhere. Once that clip is removed all of the other parts should just slip out. When i extracted these i made sure to keep them lined up but they should all slip together one way so it really doesn't matter, i was just being extra cautious. The business end is pictured on the left of the above, this is a 2 piece assembly, once the sheath is removed all the teeth should pop out. This is the bit you will need to swap with your existing part so that your original key will work correctly in your new lock. If however you are attempting to modify it, there are a few things to note, the modified lock will NOT be as secure as the original as it will now fit YOUR key as well as the donor cars key and any other key in between. The less modification needed to make YOUR key work, the more secure the lock will be. I was lucky as very little modification was required. When the key is inserted, all of the teeth should be flush with the body. As you can see in the picture above there is about 3 teeth that are not flush when MY key is inserted. All that is needed is for the teeth to be ground down flush, i did this with my dremel but it could also be done with a file. Test that it slides in the barrel when the key is inserted before you refit it and assemble in reverse order.
  5. ok, so ive been have problems with my remote key for a while now. at first my central locking wasn't working, i did all the recommended things, new battery, new fuse and trying to re-program it still couldn't get it to work. now when I try and start the car with that key it wont start, it will tick over and occasionally start but only rev once and then die again. the spare key works absolutely fine, starts the car first time. can someone tell me whats up with it, I don't particularly want to fork out for a whole new key if possible. thanks!
  6. Hi, for those in the Manchester area, I have just got a new key, complete with transponder, cut and programmed for £55 including VAT by Craig at "Locksmiths4u". He is mobile and came to my place of work and was done in about 25 minutes, really pleased with the service and can highly recommend his work. if you are interested its www.locksmiths4u.com or ring him on 07966 986939
  7. Hey guys! So im having a little trouble with my central locking on my 2001 Arosa s, i have had a new battery fitted to the key but it still doesn't want to work! The red light flashes when i press the buttons (so i know the key has power) i have both keys if that helps? if anyone can help that would be amazing! i miss my central locking! thanks, Joel.
  8. First forum, so be nice Basically I have 2 keys for my Lupo. The first key (main key) opens the passenger door, the boot and starts the ignition. The second key only unlocks the driver door and nothing else. This is a real pain swapping from one key to another, so I was wondering if there is a way to swap the barrels from the passenger door into the driver door?? I never use my passenger lock and it seems the best solution, unless anyone has any other ideas?? Thanks guys
  9. I have for a lupo/polo/3 door golf a lock set. Includes 1 key and the 2 door locks and the boot. Wanting £60
  10. VW 3-Button Flip Key This is a brand new 3 button flip key I bought as a spare for my GTI. It’s the one with the AH suffix, that’s proven to work on Lupo GTI’s. Included is a new emblem that’s needed to fit your own transponder as the one fitted inside the key can’t be used. The key will be supplied with a new uncut blade. (The blade fitted is already cut, blades are cut out of the key) £40 Posted. Payment via Paypal gift.
  11. Hi, I was wondering if any one could help me. I really need a set of door locks (passenger, door and boot) I am not bothered about the ignition as well. I would need it with a key! Hope someone can help. Thanks
