The big cogwheel inside the regulator motor was worn down so the motor would spin but it didn't move the cables. I didn't want to drop the exhaust, so I cut the arb in half to get it out. I can sell it to you tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danyutz Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Haha, thanks but no thanks! You just rotated the cog a bit? Is it hard to open the motor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup half-turn did the trick. Opening the motor isn't that hard, but getting it out and tensioning the cables back is pita. Especially when you can't lower the window in order to get to the regulator clips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Badbrains Posted April 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 (edited) I've been lazy again, but finally there is something happening. New seats coming, some candy apple and radinox lips ready for Ozs. Parts getting painted and after some maintenance Lupo should be running this month.

lupogtiboy Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 What's the wiring mod on the rear bulb holder for? I love this GTI, really wish mine looked like this, clean, slammed and tastefully modded! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Badbrains Posted April 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 (edited) Seats need some wash and paint... Edited March 14, 2018 by Mr.Badbrains Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 It's not that difficult to reupholster a seat to make it like new again. You just need a sewing machine and patience. And you can come up with any cloth/leather/mesh/hessian/fishnet etc combination you like- in any colour! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Badbrains Posted April 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 And it would cost more than those seats did A good wash did make a difference already . Not good as new but will do for now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Badbrains Posted June 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 (edited) Exips painted finally and got some rubber on them. The s3 seats took some more effort than I thought. Mk4 and Lupo rails aren't the same after all. But with angle grinder and some other modifications I managed to get them fit and working.

Mr.Badbrains Posted June 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) I didn't like how the parking lights are in Lupos rear light, so since the lights are now all red, I moved them in the center. Now the blinker is where the fog lights used to be (fog light disabled). Also color coded rear Sharan badge. Waiting for 20mm spacers for the rears, 25mm poke too much.

lupogtiboy Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) Lights look cool but the indicator flashes red! Isn't that a bit illegal (certainly is in the UK!) Edited June 9, 2017 by lupogtiboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ordered some bright yellow LED bulbs, but they are all orange, not yellow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Badbrains Posted June 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 And yes it's illegal, but so is not having the rear fog light operating. Not a lot of the things i've done to the car is legal here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupogtiboy Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) I'm tempted to get another set of lamps and move the side light into the reflector lamp area. Ideally I'd like a decent set of LED lamps, not those horrid round ones they did years ago! Edited June 9, 2017 by lupogtiboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Badbrains Posted March 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 Isn't that nice that all my photobucket photos are lost... Anyway, started to strip my car down for some sound deadening, just for more comfortable ride. Meanwhile did some oem+ footwell lights from a salvage audi door panel lights and harness. Wired them to the light switch so they are on when side lights are on. Atm trying to figure out how to get cruise control to work with the Gti, but seems like I need a Polo Gti ecu for that.
