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

[QUOTE=djorkboy;759894]I read somewhere that if the key is in the ignition, even if it's turned off, when you disconnect the instrument cluster you get an airbag failure warning. You need VAGCOM or a visit to the dealer to clear the code.[COLOR="Silver"]

Thanks djorkboy,
Im on vortex and checking old posts and seeing all this about getting it scanned.what a headache iv created.

think the battery needs to be disconnected as per above.
I did that when doing my seat swap and had no problem, was very scared about bags going off when the key was first turned after reading things on the net

Received my ECS shipment today, so I replaced 4 ignition coils and the cars running again
The strut spreader tool is for a 1/2 socket wrench and i've only got a 3/4 driver so that put off the coilovers yet again FML
I'll pick up some spring compressors and the wrench tomorrow and it will be done, fingers crossed.

I keep driving past this parking lot for buses near my area (West Footscray) and keep seeing a whole bunch of Mk4s in the lot all being used for parts. A few Golfs and Boras. I thought it was some sort of cool new underground wreckers that I discovered, but after calling up I found out the owner fixes up these cars or something and doesn't wanna sell any parts =( Anyone on here?

lol in the past couple of months it's been the same thing with me.. Problems with ignition coils and coilovers.

[dylan8]

whats wrong with your coils??

work has started on next stage bora build for those not on my facebook


272 split bolts later...

Coilovers are in i'm 19 threads from the bottom at the front and the rears are all the way down with the perches in and it's tucking all round. Once i got all the right tools the fronts took no more then 1.5hrs and are as easy as the rears really.
The drivers side is at 61.5cm f/r and the passenger side is at 62cm f/r ground to arch, once it's all settled i will adjust to level it all out.

Clean all the engine last night and i'll do the rest today sometime and get some pics up. Thanks to the guys who helped me out on here.

Sourced a replacement interior from a Silver 2001 2L Generation Mk4 Golf. Our Mk4 came with the two toned black + cream interior and hasn't held up to well.
