mk2 Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 welcome to club lupo! what is the problem you have with the gearbox? can you describe the fault? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olgis93 Posted April 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 Thank you! 5 th gear dosent work. but i want it to be fully automatic couse here in sweden they count it as Manuel shift and this car is perfect for my mother and i love lupo but she can only drive automatic cars couse she only has it on her drivings license.

RAB Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Why would they consider it a manual when it has no clutch pedal? It is fully automatic or semi-automatic, depending on the position of the gear stick. A manual it is NOT! RAB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Loop Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 I've only ever seen 3L's converted to manual, never full-automatic... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Loop Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 Exactly. That's why I said the only conversions I've seen are from an automatic gearbox (standard) to a manual one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAB All are originally automated manual, but the conversion to fully manual are relatively straightforward mechanically, as the 3L uses a manual clutch and gearbox. I'm going to guess that a automatic conversion could be tricky. Finding a torque converter and automatic gearbox bell housing to bolt up to the 3 cylinder TDI engine block are the key. The rest should be relatively easy. The 1.2 and 1.4 TDI in many ways is a chopped down 1.9TDI. I would start looking there for possible donors for automatic parts.

Rich Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 I would look into the world of A2 tdi. but it isn't a simple task.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derv Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 I don't think I've ever seen an A2 TDI with an automatic 'box either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
