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

[greyhamism]

What unit is that? Looks fantastic just like OEM. Button lights in keeping with the rest of the MK4?

It's an OEM RCN210 I got off AliExpress, and had Clusters by Litke modify the LCD screen to match the factory colour & inversion. And yes, buttons lights are red just like the rest of the interior

This is the one I got : LEMON SHARK Car Radio RCN210 CD Player USB MP3 AUX Bluetooth 9N 31G 035 185 For VW Golf Jetta MK4 Passat B5 Polo RCN 210-in Car Radios from Automobiles & Motorcycles on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group

Plug and play (with the included canbus adaptor) if you have a Gamma stock headunit 👍

Correct, he's in the states. Unit was about $100 AUD, had it delivered to Litke. He did the mods, shipped it back to me at a cost of about $70 AUD. Costs of the mod you'd have to ask him.

Still pretty cheap all up, given the features and sound quality of the unit. Very much an OEM+ sorta upgrade. You could get away with not changing the screen, which would make a this even cheaper again. I just wanted it to all match up 😋

Sounds good mate thanks for the tip, the unit looks great!

Gave my beloved 02 MkIV Golf to a family member. They kept it clean, fixed a few things well, got busted speeding and then rear-ended two cars resulting in a bent hood and radiator smashed into the fans, but engine all ok. Next thing I know, they decided to send it to the scrap yard without asking me. Too bad if anyone was looking for a great engine, gearbox, wheels, doors, seats, steering wheel or anything else!

Haha hectic situation

[arek_p]

What a set of coincidences! Do you know which scrap yard?

On weekend finally replaced the still original steering ignition lock cylinder. Persevered with chisel & hammer for the shear head bolts and eventually got them loose.





Now may Bora is airing out over night after I've had an ozone generator inside for 1.5 hours to get rid of the original owner's pet and air fresher smells which I have struggled to get rid of with conventional cleaning products.

What was the symptoms which resulted in you needed to change the ignition cyclinder?

Preventative maintenance - this failed on my previous Bora and I needed towed.
