cj1 Posted November 3, 2021 Report Share Posted November 3, 2021 Hi again all. Thought I'd return for a bit of a discussion. It's becoming more apparent that VW are dropping items from production / stock, and as such some parts are harder to come by. I thought it would be interesting to try and compile a somewhat list of those "Rare" parts, whether they simply be OEM replacement parts, or even aftermarket ones. So if I kick it off: Lupo GTI Ball Joints ABT Grilles Lupo GTI Headlight Washer Jets & Covers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lupo1.0se Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 (edited) I know the ball joints where for a long time before the parts where removed from the system difficult to get. Here is he diagram from ETKA. Slight confussing as there are two part numbers and hertige seem to say its not avalaible either. https://volkswagen.7zap.com/en/rdw/lupo++lupo+3l+tdi/lu/2005-441/4/407-407000/#9 To be added on the list Aluminum bonnet - Not avalaible since after the lupo went out of production. Basically if you ordered one frm Vw you got a steel one instead. SE side badge - avalaible to the SE only. Lupo rear badge Edited November 4, 2021 by lupo1.0se Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
