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

[gringo_54_oval]

Dropped off my bora AGAIN to mother****ing Barlow ward. So they can fix the massive power steering leak
I filled the petrol tank did 300kms no more fluid!
I have gushes of hot air coming through near my feet, i jack up the bora to find a big rubber gromet by the steering missing. Thanks again Mother****ing Barlow ward not world
I still love the bora after all the **** iv been through. But its pushing me to sell the ****er. Last chance i think

Man your not having much luck with them sorting it all out huh !.

Guessing they just fix and get it out there to the customer who I'm guessing they normally think knows nothing and will just be happy to have the car back.
I know it has happened to me before. Had to take one back to have the runs in the paint sorted, the items they had used self tapping screws on instead of proper clips replaced. I guess it's just how much cash they can get from the insurance company / customer is all they are worried about. Which in some places leads to a lack of touch and finish. Can be hard to find a good panel / paint place.

Hope you get your car fixed properly this time mate.

Can you elaborate on exactly which "Barlow ward" you have been going to... theres a few BW dealerships, ie Mascot/Fivedock

Absolutely. Factual posts detailing what happened and without going into opinions of people/services are fine. Start to make judgements about the capabilities, etc, and posts will quickly be deleted.

Do you ever think someone might have it in for you? Either that, or do you spend your days driving round building sites?

HAHA no, I had to buy a new set of OEM style/fitting wheels to get passed my defect.
Turns out the bargain I got them for wasn’t such a win, still turned out nicely though as I have some fairly good condition wheels and tyres to fall back on.

Sooooo after a massive battle on my old computer I now have access to photo bucket.
and here are the results




ewwwww, so much room between wheel and guard.


Just clearing (milk bottle is 10cm wide..)


No more poke/properfitment


No more fatness..

Have also had my catalytic converter replaced with a high flow one, and new clutch pedal after the old one got repaired and reinstalled (thank very much to my gfs dad for the repair!

Getting the height right on the car was interesting, rear ideally only had to be lifted 1cm to clear, but I lifted it a inch to make sure, front was lifted 50mm or so + some in increased tyre diameter and it only just cleared…

Passed in flying colours and got the car back on the road. The girl at Vic roads apparently wasnt impressed that the officer didn’t a) measure the car, b) leave her a point to double check against. But not my problem now..

Helper springs will be getting removed next week hopefully, and some new wide 19s will be fitted under the coil overs, while my 18s are away getting painted
