The official MKIV appreciation thread

[s14s2a]

After 115000kms its time to change the clutch, that will be my next victory..if i do it myself !!!!

Not sure to go stock or upgrade with the vr6 parts...more clamping, and will hold better for future mods so its worth considering...

Hi All

I just pickup my Mk 4 golf today.

I am very happy with it. Although its a 1.6 automatic. Its just what
I need for my wife to drive around town.

I am in sydney. It has done 83000km. can anyone tell me
which mechanic to use to change the timing belt when its due at 90000km?

Dont really want to use a vw dealer. I just need to find someone
at a resonable rate and reliable.

thanks

Dave

Didnt see this thread before! Go the boring MK4's!!!!

I've had mine for a bit over a year and love it, well built with lots of quality materials, sold drive too.

A bit slow stock, and suspension is very lacking for a 'gti' cough.

With a few mods they can be very quick and handle very nicely, i have no problems keeping up with highend jap's / euros through the twisties.

Van, there's a few moded MK4's in melb, but not many. Usually just standard wheel/lower/exhaust mods.

Theres 2 or 3 that a very nicely done and quite fast. Most beefy MK4s are in sydney, with some really fast ones too.
Hello funkey9! Havent seen u yet!

Heres mine, its fun

Hi Guys, got your flyer on my GTi (buggy5) in Denmark St Kew the other day & thought I'd say hello.

I agree with prev comments that most Mk IV owners aren't real VW 'enthuisiasts' unfortunately. There are still a few of us left though & we'll just have to carry the torch.

About me???? Well, I've got a black Mk IV Gti with Zender & Kamei body styling & engine mods inc. boosting, chipping, lowering etc. I love leaving the Rex's and Skyline of this world standing at the lights

Will post some pictures soon, I promise...
