Glue is a pita to cut off.Stripped the centre section out of my engine cover too, painting it silver. Also back running 25mm spacers on the rear wheels, track must almost be as wide as the wheel base now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luaLUP Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Liking the idea of turning the abs off. Would be interested in how you're going to wire it all up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northwick Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 (edited) Fitted programable wiper relay...Complicated to explain what it does, but basically controls the delay on the wipers intermittant setting. That is cool. I've wondered if you could fit a stalk like the new Ibizas (and presumably Polos) have with a switch on the top that controls the intermediate setting by fitting an extra relay. Presumably not if you have done it this way. How easy is it to reprogram? Use VAG COM?Like the ABS switch loom as well. They are brilliant mods.

They are brilliant mods.The stalk on the later cars controls part of the comfort control module, which the Lupo don't have. This relay is a straight swap for the Lupo wiper relay, was fitted to Golf Mk3's but fits alot of VAG cars, so no need for VAG-COM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_M Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 So how does it work then?Do you just need to change the relay or also the stalk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_M Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Just done a search and yes it is as simple as plug and play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northwick Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 How do you programme it then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_M Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 To program is easy: Push down on the wiper lever, have it wipe once, bring it up and wait until you need to wipe again, then push it down. It'll use the same wait interval! Very clever, but not obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99hjhm Posted August 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 And it works really well, such an improvement! Easy to use/understand after you try it. £10-15 mod, well worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99hjhm Posted August 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 Finished the subframes and fitted the Mk5 seats, not painted the subframes yet, wanted to check if they all fitted and adjusted OK. They are VERY low, like driving a go-kart.Got another set of gloss black b-pillar trims to fit, never happy with the first set, need to get some rivets ordered to fit them with.
