Replacing a VW Lupo GTi Door Check Strap.

One of the common faults on old VW cars is the door check strap making cracking/screeching noises. Usually this is due to the rubber/plastic bush wearing away. The dealers will make you buy a whole new check strap but instead of paying their ridiculous cost, try replacing the plastic bush for a metal one found on Amazon. But in my case, I did have to replace the whole strap. I found a cheaper alternative on ebay here:

Good video, i just ordered a pair from eBay. I think they're called bushings. Many thanks for the information.

Saved, gotta do this soon. Was hoping it was just the bolts but you've given me the steps to follow!

@DamianBrown 4 жыл бұрын

Finally got around to doing it and got scuppered trying to get those two bolts out. My tools don't give me space to turn the bolts so I've gotta get something else :(

not sure if that's wd-40 or not, but your best bet with metal on metal is either white lithium grease or white calcium grease. As a PSA to anyone reading this, WD-40 isn't really a lubricant, it's a penetrant and moisture displacer, it's lubrication will wear away very quickly as it's mainly there for the penetrating/loosening ability.

Yes Chi! This video has just given me the motivation to swap my check straps. Had a look on KZfaq before to find a video and this is the best video I have come across yet! I was stumped after seeing my speakers pop riveted in but but the looks of it I can squeeze my skinny arm up to reach the strap without removing the speaker. Will subscribe, hopefully see more tips and tricks for my lupo gti in the future.

It’s the most annoying noise ever! Hope you get yours sorted.

Do these parts keep the door open as well? My door doesn't make that noise but feels loose (you open it and it just closes again - very annoying)

@TidyChi 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, it has 3 door settings that keep the door open, if that makes sense.

Hello Chi . I have watched your lovely video but the problem I have on my car is where the check strap fastens to the car (not door) this is moving ? Any ideas on how to fix this as I can find no videos on KZfaq ! Stuart .
