I did it - I now drive a 2003 Bora V6 4Motion

Do it!! Nothing on ebay either... What about R-Line bumpers, techniqually OEM

[Manaz]

Expensive, but they are an option that I do have sitting in the back of my head. I'm pretty sure in all my reading of the ADRs that self-levelling is required (easy enough, I already have the motors in the headlights, just need to add the sensors from an R32), but washers I don't believe actually are an ADR requirement.

[TazzyVR6]

What about TM Tunings OEM HIDs? Expensive but would be worth it...

Your car is OEM+

That's exactly what I'm going for.

* Bilstein PSS9 suspension (not wound down too low).
* VW R-Line wheels (17" version of the Aristos, VW Factory option so they're OEM).
* R32 brakes front and rear (OEM).
* EBC RedStuff (Ceramic) pads about to go on.
* Stainless Steel brake lines.
* 23mm front sway bar (OEM).
* Airbox from European DSG-equipped R32 (OEM).
* R32 steering wheel (gearshift just needs to be installed) (OEM).
* R32 pedal set (thanks Trent!) (OEM).
* R32 floor mats paid for (just need to pick them up) (OEM).
* Blue Haldex Controller (about to be replaced with Competition controller...) (OEM-enough).
* UNIbrace (this thing is awesome, it's the least-OEM part I have).

Bora V6 4Motion badging is removed from the rear, the only badging on the car is the VW badges front and rear and the lone V6 badge in the grill.

Things I need to fix:

* Stone chips on bonnet.
* Headlights are starting to get UV damaged. Will probably replace with projectors, still trying to find a set of OEM RHD projectors (if anyone know what market they were sold in with this option, please let me know!), otherwise I'll go with something decent available locally.
* Drivers door hinge has dropped a bit, door rubs on the rubbing strip inside the door sill. Need to get hinge replaced.
* Both rear wheels have some damage on them (Sorry Snowy!). Getting them repaired as well.

I also have a set of Bora Sports sitting in storage - I'll be throwing a set of KU36 tyres on them sometime shortly, hoping to start doing some track days etc in the not-too-distant future.

Was this your car at the VW Nationals?

Yep, that's me. I missed out on prepping it properly for the show, so it was a little dirty and had a few things wrong with it still - will have it there in all its glory next year though!

yeah I'm going to attempt it though and if I cant complete it I'll take it to someone who can - I'd imagine the part from urotuning will be much cheaper than anywhere else. ECS has it for $177 so I'd hate to see what a stealer would charge!

Yeah, i'll probably be in for this group buy if it happens. I still haven't gotten around to replacing mine. I've got a second hand compressor waiting to go in too...

have you tried switching it to recirc cos that fixes it for me? I can turn it on, hit recirc and then turn it off (or leave it on) and the noises stop. But yes, the radio fixes those annoying noises too

Might have to organise a GB on this item as I started a thread last year and there were quite a few people with the same issue.

I found the item here for $84US http://www.urotuning.com/shop/contro...ic-p-2385.html

ECS want $177 for the same item

But like you said earlier, its a true huge PITA to get to the unit and replace the faulty bit!

[Gravey]

I get the same annoying noises! I just put the stereo UP. The other way around that i found is just turn on the fan and then turn it off, seems to "fix" it temporarily

pretty sure mine is gone too, but there is no error code. AC fluctuates when on fresh air and there a weird ticking noise from behind the glovebox. When I put it on recirc it works fine though....they arent expensive thankfully, but a pain to replace from what I have read.

an intermittent flapper motor issue

Current thinking is that the open circuit on rear speaker is actually for a sub that's not fitted. Wonder where the wiring is for that...

[VWBORA]

yay!!!! congrats!!! Bora's Rule...
