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

Been in Europe for the past month so the car hasn't been driven or turned on. Parents have informed me the battery is dead, so its getting a new one today.

I am waiting for the day my diff blows up in spectacular fashion.

Just to point out that on car sales there is only 22 mk4 Gtis for sale in the entire of Australia. Compare that to 160 mk5's, and 200 mk6's Was the mk4 gti a poor seller? haha.

We might have a rare classic boys!!

In 1999 general Australian public had no idea what a GTI was.
Then petrol got expensive and no one wanted to buy a Commodore, but for the same money they could buy a smaller, more efficient car with the same power, that is when the GTI became popular.

The Commodore was the number one selling car in Australia for decades, now it is the Mazda 3. This shows the shift to smaller cars.

When I bought mine no one I knew had a clue what it was, now every grandma has one.

Test fit my eBay auto-headlights box of tricks yesterday and tidied up the install today. Most satisfying mod to date. Love the coming/leaving home function - just need to wire fogs in and possibly side-lights to complete it.

Awesome. How long do the coming home lights stay on?

Hi Dylan - it seems to be about 20 seconds from locking the car.

Perfect.
Did you hook it up to a sensor for day/night?

Yes (this is supplied) - I mounted the sensor in the top centre dash vent where the climatronic sensor lives on higher spec cars(!) ... Timing for coming home lights seems to be adjustable out to about a minute - instructions aren't the best though so it's a bit of trial and error currently. I checked this morning and after my fiddling about last night I'm at 1 minute for coming home lights (which should be sufficient to get wherever I'm going unless I break a leg or something!)

[dylan8]

Sounds like what I want! Could you please post or PM me a link where you got it

[RolfGolf]

Mine is like this:

Auto Headlight Sensor With Switch Control FOR VW Golf Jetta MK4 5nd 941 431B | eBay

(I bought mine in July last year and have only just got around to fitting it. The seller I bought from has no listings at present, but this looks identical.)
