Geastb 0 Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Have been looking on the corrodo forum (again) and they are on about the Lupo wiper conversion (with part numbers)2x Lupo GTI wiper arm and blade kits (part no. V6X2 998 406) £17.36+VAT from VAGThis is the set-up for a corrodo - does anyone know if this will fit the Golf too? Link to post Share on other sites

acf8181 0 Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 now i may be wrong, but i'm sure i saw some universal blades of this type for sale at ASI...they certainly had the normal/old style attachment where they meet the wiper arm. Link to post Share on other sites
dusty_mauve 0 Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 So I just bolt the lupo arms and blades on and it will work? Link to post Share on other sites
Slim 0 Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Yes pretty much, took me 5 minutes in total. Link to post Share on other sites
Devilfish 0 Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 can some one take a picture of this installation and post it up here.. thanx Link to post Share on other sites
six appeal 53 Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 I thought you had to use different types of Lupo GTI wiper arms and blades on the Golf as opposed to just a straight swop over?Slim have you got any pics and all the parts/numbers used? Link to post Share on other sites
Slim 0 Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 I'll try and get pics tomorrow. I've done nothing fancy, a set of wiper arms and a pair of blades, straigh swap, work a treat, I'm happy as Larry. Link to post Share on other sites
six appeal 53 Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 So to do this I need1 x drivers side arm1 x passengers side arm 2 x aero blades all from from Lupo GTI?Sorry to be a pain, but don't want to order the wrong bits! Pics would be great mate. Part No.'s would be a bonus too! Link to post Share on other sites
stu h 0 Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 simon, do a search on www.the-corrado.net , there have been loads of threads about this, and i've seen the part no's listed before Link to post Share on other sites
DundeeDub 0 Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 http://www.vr6oc.com/forum_viewtopic.php?36.33344.0I used 2 left hand ones, means you can't lift them fully up but they fit snugly behind/under the bonnet Link to post Share on other sites
stu h 0 Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 looks very smart mate, like the way they almost dissappear under the bonnet. -do they clear the screen better? Link to post Share on other sites
DundeeDub 0 Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 compared to the standard wipers yes, much much better,plus in my case look alot better than the old rusting arms Link to post Share on other sites
six appeal 53 Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 When u say left hand ones, I take it you mean passenger side ones? Link to post Share on other sites
DundeeDub 0 Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 yeah, sorry about that.I took the part numbers off my reciept so they should be right Link to post Share on other sites
richellis 0 Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 sorry im a bit confused! The wipers shown in the pics of the vento, look small. Are they the same length as the golf (21" and 19")Should I order a drivers and a pass side kit or 2 pass side? HELP!!!!!!!!!Been wantin this mod 4 ages &| Link to post Share on other sites
stu h 0 Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 thats a good point, they look quite small, do they clear a lot less screen? would we be better off trying to source larger ones from a different model, i.e new polo?[ Edited Sat Feb 05 2005, 06:55PM ] Link to post Share on other sites
richellis 0 Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 had a look and mesure, they are too long, and the wrong shape. The lupo blades are 21" and 19", the same as the standerd mk3 golf. Have put a request in to vagparts, and will see Link to post Share on other sites
richellis 0 Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 www.vagparts.com do a kit for the mk3 golf. Link to post Share on other sites
badboyV6 4 Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 Andrew, Do the lupo items clear the screen the same as the old arms? Link to post Share on other sites
DundeeDub 0 Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 near enough, maybe just a little less (maybe 4cm max) on the passenger side but i never sit on that side so not really botheredi've had no problems at all apart from the stupid traffic warden lifting the wiper up to pt a ticket on and hitting the bonnet, made a wee dent and took a tiny bit of paint off Link to post Share on other sites
badboyV6 4 Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 muppets!! And they charge you for the priviledge! Link to post Share on other sites
richellis 0 Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Had the kit from www.vagparts.comFits a treat. Clears the screan the same as the origional ones. looks neater, as they sit lower under the edge of the bonnet. The p/side doesnt lift, other than that great![ Edited Mon Feb 21 2005, 02:36PM ] Link to post Share on other sites
