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

Thrashed the hell out of it at a skid pan. Something was not right, found my front tyres were on backward. The fool that did wheel alignment did not check rotation arrow. Tyres work a lot better the correct way around.

How long have they been around the wrong way??

Gave the interior a quick clean. found the passenger seat spring has also fallen out along with the little tab.

Since Tuesday, about 300km, + a few ABS stops from 70 & 80km as part of the skid pan day, then 10 sideways laps of the pan.
I noticed a vibration on the highway after about 150km I should have taken this more seriously and had a good look. It was not until I tried to find the source of a weird sound that I saw the rotation arrow the wrong way around.

Oh forget that spring, it wont go back in. You may now find it difficult to move the seat forward and back.

So who mounted the tyres? imagine you had a crash and it was the tyres at fault. im sure insurance wouldnt like that
yeah i know, mines ok forwards and back, but up and down not so nice. just have to take my weight off it abit.

no, surely the gearbox goes thru a combination of cog-swapping punishment, low lubrication, bad oils, and no doubt a little bit of manufacture defect or metal fatigue?

Had my aircon regassed, now have chilly air and not just vaguely cool air! Thankfully a regas appears to have been enough, there was a chance the compressor might need replacing.

Just in time for winter.

Heh tell me about it. When i brought my bora the aircon was stuffed on it. The dealer fixed it for us free of charge. Brand new compressor condensor and regass. Most awesome thing ever
