What have you done to your mk4 (golf/bora) today?

Fark that looks exactly like all my shrapnel i found when i dropped my gearbox.. it was crown wheel fragments.. u could see the teeth missing when i rotated the drive shafts and looked up the oil drain hole this is very concerning as mine was caused from a rivet sheer off from the crown wheel.. but does your gearbox not have an LSD with the ARP diff bolt kit?

Its got a peloquin LSD but have herd a few tales of the bolts letting go although i think they have since changed what is supplied in the kits.

Pete (YellowDieselGolf) had something similar happen to his Peloquin, apparently the bolts decided to take a tour of the internals.

I heard something about that today actually. Seems quite a few people have had similar issues, and Peloquin are playing the "not our fault" game...

Geebus, the bolts look to have sheered clean off? Are the bolts supplied by Peloquin themselves?

i've completely ruined my door lock module. now i cant lock the driver's door or even open it from the inside. now i have a new getting out procedure - stop, turn the car off, open the window, pull the exterior grab handle, turn the ignition on, close a window, get out of the car and hope noone steals it

I'm not 100% sure but he did mention to me that the bolts weren't up to the job and Peloquin were coughing up and replacing parts, so I would guess they were part of the kit. Hopefully Pete might see this and chime in with more details, I know his car has been off the road for ages now.

Pulling these apart is rather difficult.

Well got of my ass n pulled the gear box out of the golf this arvo..............
and yep noice hole in the bell housing from all but 1 of the diff bolts shearing off
I think i am very lucky that there isn't more damage as all i was very close to home when it happened and the bolts look like they havn't had a chance to really start a tour of the rest of the box
