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

    How my day started, had to tightened my turbos bolts again before work... best way to start a monday morining.

    Seems how hot they got at Happy Laps yesterday was too much. Not sure what more I should do to stop them coming loose!

    A couple months ago I put in some 10.9/S rated structural bolts, with high temp locktite and Nordlock washers, and still came loose

    Great -_-
    Really getting fed up with this rubbish quality interior. You'd never guess this was once a 55k car. I've been in cars worth half that with better interiors. My first car was older than this and half it's price brand new, and it didn't have worn & torn leather, paper thin brittle plastics that look like they've been mutilated by a sand blaster, cloth peeling off trims and cracks through any and every woodgrain. To top it all off the mirror ****s itself and ruins half the interior.

    Not happy today.

    Yeah after the run I've had with her in the short few months, it's rather frustrating - especially now the wierd line through my mirror will likely mean I fail my 2nd roadworthy inspection.
    The fluid is stuck on the plastic well. I've tried to scratch it with my nail and it's level with the plastic so it's actually stained the plastic. There is a goop of it near the shifter and it feels like it has moulded onto the gear surround.

    Yeah poor little Laura
    Just after she had her broken sump, broken coolant pipes & pieces, broken interior bits, ****ty wiring, broken engine recirc hoses and now a broken rear vision mirror.

    The solution it seems so far is to get a new centre console. Plenty at the wreckers because they can be stripped from any old MKIV golf.
    Bigger issue for me is working how the hell I'm going to get it out of the leather :/

    Damn. I always thought that autodimming fluid was acidic and could eat into the leather.

    Not sure what prices you were quoted but I got one for $80 shipped from eBay UK. Good luck!
