AJB-09 Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Thought I would stick this up more as a dairy of what I am going to be doing with it and keeping it all together. Been around VW's for years so thought I would share with you what I have been driving previously before I bought the LupoThese are just a few had loads of Corrado's as well (16v, G60, VR6) but it's onto the lupo now which is just going to be a tidy up and make it OEMI didn't want a silver one at all but it was so local and I needed a runabout, few things need sorting but i'm trying to get through them as and when I can, all very original except a couple of things which are being rectified as time goes on. Been much loved in it's life with a great service history, mostly VW dealers then a couple of VW independent specialists.Great fun little cars and after trying to get my mates wife to sell her Raven Blue GTI for well over 8 years I gave up and bought this instead!Updates to come very soonAdam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJB-09 Posted February 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Yeah the black GTI was AMD tuned and rolling roadies at 165bhp, the black G60 was running about 197 bhp with a diesel gearbox for better acceleration ( my favorite car that ) Lupo will be getting the little niggles sorted then prob a drop and some wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJB-09 Posted February 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) First thing to do was put a new red stripe round the grille, old one was faded and got this one off eBay for a £5Next job was to get the original red leads bought and get rid of these ones that didn't even fit in the holderMuch better now and how it should be!Cambelt and water pump done, all genuine parts from the dealer. Also had to get rid of the old expansion tank as it was dirty so a new genuine one was fittedCool beans nowBulbs up next Edited February 15, 2014 by AJB-09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJB-09 Posted February 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 List of things to do are as followsNew aerial base (radio doesn't really work)New stubby aerialSpoiler brake light doesn't workAirbox and engine cover (get shut of the K&N)Rear quarter wants going over again, paint is good but colour fractionally offJust bought some NGK spark plugs and fuel filter, will fit when this weather behaves itself.Might need a clutch in the next year feels like it has a very slight warped flywheel which is bugging me...Sell it and buy something else.

AJB-09 Posted February 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 that air filter other than that looking goodYep pretty rubbish, hopefully get something sorted soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJB-09 Posted March 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Got round to changing the fuel filter and spark plugs on her the other day. This filter was changed 9k ago apparently...Sorted..Car drives ALOT smother now, was quite jumpy in all honesty when driving normally but this has sorted it all out and makes it so much better to drive. I changed the spark plugs too, they were NGK ones in her which had done about 9k again, these were changed for the same NGK ones again.The red leads also have caused me problems as the car started mis-firing and running rubbish, took them off to find (only after checking and double checking everything else as the leads are brand new) that 2 had broken down on a join at the top of the lead and were arching, I was doubtful I would get them replaced under warranty but VW have just rang to say they will replace them FOC. Saves me £40!Other things to do now,New aerial base needed and stubby mastTop rear brake light New mats all roundThanksAdam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJB-09 Posted April 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Mine looked to have a little tab on the end of the line that you prised out slightly, to be fair mine really wasn't as straight forward as I had read bit of a 'mare doing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
