Brad1992 posted a topic in Member's Cars
hey guys im brad, and this was charlie #1 until his clutch broke and was too much for my to afford alongside my insurance renewal.. My old corsa before that: 1.2 petrol (photoshopped but how i would've got it) My old arosa before the corsa: 1.7 sdi My living room when i had this My DERV Corsa: 1.7 CDTI But enough of my old cars, here's Charlie #2 - my 1.4 lupo: Spec List (I will update this as it goes along) -75hp version - Pop out windows - FK highsports - Now sold as i needed it higher for where i live - Remapped - BMC CDA air filter - GTI injectors + inlets - Manky oil breather (will be replaced soon) - Snowflakes for wheels (i'm getting new ones at some point) - GIANT EXHAUST (see picture) The day i collected it: After a good clean: Then came some lovely photos with my camera.. And then came the steelies (that got rusted onto in a matter of 3 weeks which are now gone) Anyone who knows me, or has met me will know i'm amazing at parking. (Bluewater meet) Excuse the crappy quality of this but i wanted to try a bonnet bra on, and luckily jay had one to lend me Since then i've had some bad luck, as in wrecked the bottom of my car + exhaust completely as well as taking chunks from my front bumper, as of which i have sold my fk highsports which i couldn't adjust as they are a bit unlooked after. But here's some more pics of the car with my girlfriends car whilst im doing the suspension. I have more progress on my phone etc but i will upload in time. I will post plans if asked. Look forward to hear from you! -
Ok, so I am considering buying a sdi lupo. But the problem is there is no one on ebay that makes a preformance backbox for the lupo. I can only find the standard one. http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Exhaust-Rear-Back-Box-VW-LUPO-1-4-TDI-1-7-SDI-1998-2005-/110636840192?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item19c2783500#ht_3601wt_1265 There is also a universal backbox. http://www.ebay.ie/itm/VW-CC-PHAETON-SHARAN-TOUAREG-LUPO-UNIVERSAL-PERFORMANCE-EXHAUST-BACK-BOX-LMS-001-/150875918370?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2320e7d022#ht_4831wt_12 But, Is there an onother vw backbox that would fit the sdi lupo? such as passat, bora or golf?

So my beloved 1litre is nearly dead. Anyone know any companies out there that will source an engine and swap them for me? And does anyone know if it's possible to swap from 1.0 to 1.4 with ease, like is or just a mount change or are the shapes completely different? I live in South Wales of anyone knows anywhere local... Thanks.

need help

Do you HAVE to remove the alternator to get the part number or are all the part numbers the same for a GTI? I kind of need my car every day and it would be pretty much a big hassle to remove the alternator then have to re-attach it. GTI 2001 no air-con so i'm guessing a 70amp alternator? 90amp will do the job as well?

been looking at a body kit for my lupo, and on the rear bumper the exhaust is in the right rather than left. would it cost anything to have the exhaust moved so it is in the middle. heres the link: http://www.madmotors.co.uk/bodykits-spoilers-14000/body-kits/vw/vw-lupo/ingo-noak-tuning-vw-lupo-98-look-rear-bumper.html and heres the front, just wondering if id need to change anything to put this on http://www.madmotors.co.uk/bodykits-spoilers-14000/body-kits/vw/vw-lupo/ingo-noak-tuning-vw-lupo-98-05-look-front-bumper.html last note, what side skirts would you recommend to use with this kit because there actually isnt any side skirts built with them cheers guys

Hi guys, Have a few questions that I hope someone can enlighten me and maybe some others on the vw lupo gearbox and vw lupo bumpstrips. Question 1. Could someone tell me what can be done to fix a vw lupo gearbox? Lupo gearboxes are notorious for failing but I am still a little curious. It changes smoothly in all gears except when I change DOWN from fifth to fourth it will not directly engage, I have to go up into third gear and then into fourth. Going from fourth to fifth is alright but I cant figure out what is causing it. I have tried researching but because thses gearboxes create hassle it is difficult to find an answer relevan to the problem. We seen somewhere that if you fix or replace the gear linkage it should fix the problem but I am wondering if some can help? Question 2. A while ago the driver's side bumpstrip fell off to reveal a metal strip screwed into the door? Was this done to some vw lupos or did someone do a bodge on the door? I am not sure if they are all screwed on and I am afraid to remove the rest for the time being until someone can offer some info. Apologies for the long post but these little things have been annoying me for a while now and it would be nice to fix them or at least try. Thanks in advance, Jake.

Hi, Was wondering if anyone could tell me who to contact for vw lupo 3l parts? Is there anyone on here that could supply these parts or order them for me or is it possible to go to a dealership and order them? The codes are available but they its ordering them that seems to be a problem. Any help appreciated and thanks in advance. Have a good day.

Hi all New member from Cardiff here. Aquired a flame red GTI last Friday with 74,000 miles on the clock and FSH. Was asking for 4k but bagged it for £3200 in the end. Umolested example with seemingly no problems apart from the common squeak on start up. Well happy and drives like a charm, brings a smile to my face everytime I drive it, even traffic jams are a joy - loving that burble! Booked in for a major service on Monday as it is due one, let's see what that throws up. No plans as of yet, just keep it clean and shiny and enjoy the ride!

So, the poor little engine in my 1.0 Lupo is on its last legs. And rather than trading her in for a new cari want to change the engine. Too many memories and all that. But, as I'm sure everyone's aware 1.0 engines are like rocking horse **** to find, and also not giving me enough go. So my question is, I'm planning to source and put in a 1.2. I'll obviously change the clutch plate too but is there anything else that'll need changing? Engine mounts etc. Or is it a straight swap? Cheers, Tom

Hi , just bought a Lupo 1.0 E without PAS and I'm wondering which tyres will give me the least heavy steering . The Conti Eco Contact on now are very heavy and wooly (I've had the tracking done). Any suggestions for 155/70 R13's ?(quite a few good tyres aren't done in that size) I'm looking at Goodyear Duragrip or Dunlop Street Response. Qualities I'm after are lightness of steering , low road noise and reasonable grip (in the wet since I live in Wales!), and if they helped soak up the potholes rather than transmitting the bumps that would be nice. Any help much appreciated.

Hey guys, just got my first car last weekend... a silver 1ltr lupo. I have some thoughts as to what i want to do with it so any feedback from you guys would be most appreciated - First thing i wanna do is get the back 3 windows tinted... not thinking of going too dark, but just so you can still slightly see through. - Then i wanna lower it... any help on some coil overs and springs would be great... dont wanna go ridiculous, maybe 40mm or 60mm - Get the roof wrapped gloss black. - Black out the badges - Get new alloys (some suggestions would be great) - Roof bars - New speakers any other suggestions from you guys would be most appreciated Heres some picture for you too look at... Hope you guys like

The Engine Management Warning light is permanently on in in Lupo 1.0 E from 2003. I need the fault codes to be read and interpreted to help me determine what needs to be done. As on low budget (daughters car) I am looking for somebody in the Crawley / Redhill / Gatwick area who perhaps can help if having a VAG-COM handy. Thanks C -
Morning All, I've recently had to replace the high level brake light on my 05 GTi, obviously the spoiler had to come off and sadly wasn't in the best of states so needed a respray. Anyway it's been sprayed twice now by the body shop and both times I've ended up with bubbles in the finish, they've said its common with Fibreglass parts due to the air inside working its way to the surface when the temperature changes. Does anyone know a way around this, they've said they can't bake it obviously and that there's no way around it but I was hoping one of you guys may have had one sprayed yourselves and know a trick or a better bodyshop who can do it. I'm in the Walsall area. Thanks Ste

Hello to all! My name's Hanna, and I've recently bought a 1.4 16V Fresco Green Lupo - 52 plate, with 32k on the clock. It's my second car, and considering I used to own a snail (Ford Ka) before this, I'm finding it pretty nippy! So here it is. It's completely standard at the moment, but hopefully not for long as I now have these. I'm hoping to get these sprayed in red, bumpers smoothed and the car resprayed. Open to tips and advice -
finally got my Lupo Tdi, its my second car, the first was a 1.0 red seat arosa travelled 14 hours from Leeds to Cardiff and back to get her home the guy lied quite a lot when selling the car as it had lots of scratches, some quite deep, as well as the paint being down to the primer on the front bumper. Also on the way home i had gearbox problems, it wouldnt go from 5th to 4th or 4th to 3rd, yet it would do 3rd to 4th and 4th to 5th so this was a real worry as it proved dangerous on the motorway. Yet when the car was cold or going below 20mph the gears worked fine He's a black tdi with full colour coded interior, which means blue/black leather seats and headrests, leather gaiter and handbrake cover, leather upper door cards, leather stitched steering wheel, cup holders, heated seats, sport alloys etc etc after a four hour clean: my old car: still lots to do so i'll keep you posted: - bee sting ariel - colour code badge - paint callipers - sort out paintwork - fix gearbox (if i can?) - clean interior (boot full of dog hairs) - Fix speakers (cracked) - paint door handles (scratched) - New alloys - Lowering - new Grill - rear spoiler - re-map? thanks for taking the time to look, any comments would be appreciated
