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

[funkymonkey]

Funkeymonkey where did you get your stubby mirror's from buddy? I got some from ECS awhile back and they are terrible quality. Looking for a nice pair before i get a repaint in a few months

OEM MKIV Golf mirrors. Got em because they have electric folding motors, and the mirror control switch has extra folding and defrost settings:


Apparently I bought them in 2010! Posted about them here.

Whoops, that's the LHD switch... this is the RHD one:

Hoolly chit I'm a retard. Here I am wondering why my car is driving like a real piece of crap.

I saw a few guys on here talking about spark plugs. This got be thinking when I last replaced them. I usually replace them every 5k but I'm thinking these have done somewhere between 12-15k kms due to study and work and not having time.

I'm using ngk copper bkr7e's gapped to .028 on a stage 2 k03s tune.

Well I pulled out the plugs and they were 110% truly stuffed. The gaps had increased to a minimum of .032. One I could just squeeze under a .035 feeler!!!!! One of them was completely covered/dripping in oil, I have no idea how it even sparked. (Well it obviously didn't, hence why I was having the misfires)

I replaced them and my car is back to normal, absolute beast. Probably common sense, but if your running a chipped car do not neglect your plugs.

To you guys running stage 2 k03s/k04 setups, are you still running coppers at .028??

You might need a new tapper cover gasket if you have oil in the spark tubes.

I replaced by AC compressor last weekend, new gas and now frosty cold air.
Picked up an 06 Jetta TFSI and the Golf will now get cleaned up for sale.

Yeh I actually had it replaced when the turbo was fitted. Just obviously haven't changed the plugs in ages!!

Changed headlights from yucky yellowy/white finish to clear!
Well clear-ish.

Used Turtlewax headlight restorer kit that was on special a month or two ago at Supercheap for $21.
Worked pretty good.

Have heard that the effects aren't permanent though. Will see how long it lasts

Installed silicone turbo inlet pipe and did the charcoal canister delete.

Bought a universal 1.2L windscreen washer bottle so will try retro fit that tomorrow and get rid of the huge 3L stock one.

I'm doing it the other way around. Bought a MK5, getting the MK4 for sale.
Replaced engine mount & radiator fan this weekend.
Still need to do a CV boot. But it is either pissing rain or as hot as hell so will have to wait.

Old mount had about 30mm sag, I guess I have 30mm better clearance on the sump now
