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

[Manaz]

I believe the last letter in the product code refers to a revision - there have been several revisions of coilpacks during the life of the product, you'd want the latest, as there have been issues reported with previous ones.

ECS have a great response time to email queries as well - you may be best to email them a query.

022905100N is the latest revision coil pack that replaces all the others mentioned in this thread.

Yep - the V6 and the V5 are definately the same - so for about $140AU delivered I can get 3 coils.....the same price only gets me 2 through imparts, so I'm going ahead with the $30 ones which are the OEM type.

Ordered a genuine boot liner, booked my car in to get the sway bar fitted on tuesday, and got some new wheels. (think i'll keep it now )

Got my car dyno'd at MRC in castle hill, and as expected, i'm down on power.
3rd run in 4th got 89.4kW (it's a chipped gti running 16-27psi unitronic program). quite an ugly power curve too, quite jagged.
but the air fule ratio is the most concerning. at 4300rpm, it drops from 10.8, to off the scale (ie. under 10), and only slightly gets back on scale at around 6400 rpm.
i'll post the graphs in my MAF thread shortly...

Oh btw, i've never taken my car to a dyno place before, but Marc from MRC was VERY helpful. spent quite a lot of time with the car and really showed interest in my cars problems. so for what its worth, i really reccomend him.
they use dyno dynamics FYI.

also got some philips extreme 80+ light bults in the mail today, will be putting em in shortly... (last crappy eclipse bulbs blew...)

Lets see the graph mate. Be more concerning if it were leaning, what flash do you have, some might like to throw a bit more fuel than others for safety.

added 's' wing mirrors....

looks the bloody same!

lol

[McDub]

put my philips xtreme power 80+ bulbs in.
def reccomend them. i was sick of the lame white/bluey bulbs i had before as they were so dim.
lights up the road so much better now. still pretty expensive for $63 from ebay (aussie seller)

Unitronic flash. They're from the states and have only been supporting the Australian market for a short while. Yeah i hear that they tend to run them a bit rich, but surely this is more than a bit rich yeah?

go back
get it done in gear 3.

gear 3 for 5 speeds
gear 4 for 6 speeds

thats how we've always run the dyno days and gets the most accurate figures.

and for gods sake, please do not use a dyno dynamics dyno lol

[McDub]

i'm not gonna spend another 80+ to get it tested again just to get better accuracy.
i looked for a mainline one near work, but yeah i found this one nearby and they could do it the day after i called
anyway no-one told me to get it done in 3rd, so i let the guy do what he thought was best.

[YellowDieselGolf]

Looks good Pete. Did u do the painting and install. Cheers Jay

I painted them, but I'm glad I didn't install them!

The dealership had issues - the genuine R32 splash shields didn't fit my 1.8T hubs and the genuine R32 brake lines didn't fit (not sure why, but it may have been length?).

They're on now though

fair enough ..

with 4th gear you will get a low read out. get in touch with either crescent motorsports, tell them you know me otherwise todd from mainline and either of the 2 will sort you out ..

[fuzion]

nato run is all repaved now, much better than before!

..

only took 20 years!
