This is very true haha another funny thing that happened yesterday is that I (a 17 year old kid) was left sitting in the drivers seat of the 458 in New York City so that the owner could go into a shop and not find a spot :face palm: (parked in front of a fire hydrant which is legal as long as someone who can drive is in the drivers seat)... I'm just gonna say that there were a few very strange looks hahaQuote:

no good leighaus, atleast it wasnt a rock or bottle as cookie said.
Havnt done much to the bora. have purchased a few goodies and currently eyeing off some candy I originally wanted for it years ago however :P
I pulled out the gauges section out to fit the new chrome rings that go around the rpm and speedo etc.
I pulled it apart bit tricky but it came out and then i put the 2 cables/plug back together and the dash stuff back.
Now it saying AIRBAG FAILURE :mad: anyone ever seen this or had this happen.I didnt touch the steering wheel??
the ignition was off during all this, the car started normal i havent driven it yet.worried il be wearing an airbag!
Any idea?
I read somewhere that if the key is in the ignition, even if it's turned off, when you disconnect the instrument cluster you get an airbag failure warning. You need VAGCOM or a visit to the dealer to clear the code.Quote:

Yeah, I didn't want to click it into place yet as I don't have the right removal tools for that headunit. But I have installed it all the way now and ordered a set of the tools from Hong Kong so it won't be coming out again until they arrive.Quote:

Received my ECS shipment today, so I replaced 4 ignition coils and the cars running again :)
The strut spreader tool is for a 1/2 socket wrench and i've only got a 3/4 driver :( so that put off the coilovers yet again FML
I'll pick up some spring compressors and the wrench tomorrow and it will be done, fingers crossed.
I keep driving past this parking lot for buses near my area (West Footscray) and keep seeing a whole bunch of Mk4s in the lot all being used for parts. A few Golfs and Boras. I thought it was some sort of cool new underground wreckers that I discovered, but after calling up I found out the owner fixes up these cars or something and doesn't wanna sell any parts =( Anyone on here?
lol in the past couple of months it's been the same thing with me.. Problems with ignition coils and coilovers. :facepalm:Quote:
