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

[Big_M]

Had car serviced;

- coolant flushed
- brake/clutch fluid flushed
- oil dropped & replaced with RP 10W-40
- 6 x new spark plugs
- 2 x new ignition coils

Oh and ordered some car care gear from ZAS

Nice Royal Purple huh. Used it before ?

No, I haven't but generally has a good rep. The car was running Mobil 1 15w-50 due to the higher kms but Mobil 1 are no longer producing oil? So the 15w-50 is becoming like hens teeth.

Car feels so much better now with all of the above done, wallet is destroyed thanks to VW's excessive price markup on parts ... $38ea for a spark plug STFU!!!!!!!!!!

Gave the car a wash (first since the day before Nationals... whoops)
used the 'soap' attachment on my gerni for the first time, worked a treat in lifting all the rubbish off as a pre soak

Yeah the VW markup is not friendly. But I'll have to dig out my invoice from VW I don't think I paid 38 ea. I'll see if i can find it.

Got a new tail light.
Saw an ad on gumtree, could not have been better luck.

A lady broke the right hand tail light years ago, VW would only supply a pair, so the left one was left in the shed. Now that she has sold the car the left one was useless to her.
The Mrs picked it up today when visiting grandma as the gold coast.
It includes the bulb carrier and 5 bulbs. Has a VW part sticker, perfect condition OEM.

Total cost $45. farking good result or what ?

[Big_M]

Awesome result mate. Got to be happy with that.

[RolfGolf]

Love those wheels - they really suit the car.

[marquee]

Suspension in thermostat changed.

Car is awesome now

I love gumtree. A very similar thing happened to me, i needed a rear rhs light for my series 2 bmw e30. Wreckers wanted $150+ and i was scared to call BMW. Found it on gumtree, brand new in a BMW box for $35!!

Spent the day getting ready to purchase a brand new car for my misses (ironically), parked at the local shops to get the deposit money out (Broadmeadows Shopping Centre, Melbourne), and come back to find this on the car...



Sigh... no "major damage", all panel work (thankfully).

Need a new bumper, side fender, wheel arch housing, headlight, and possibly a new hood, but a mate tells me its possible to bang it out. Oh and the drivers door won't open because it's jarred in by the fender, with a dint on that too.

I don't even want to know how much this is going to cost me... Unfortunately I'm on 3rd Party Insurance, due to me wanting to purchase a new car next year. But I did want to sell this, so I'll have to repair!

What a f'ing day!

[JustCruisn]

So what's the story with the other party ? Don't tell me it was a hit and run.

Broady and honesty don't go hand in hand. My guess hit and run

Yikes! I'd be gutted if I got back to my car and someone had just driven off after doing that - random carpark scratches are bad enough.

Hope you get it sorted soon.

Just installed the new car battery and now time to fit my new wheel spacers and as the sun is out I thinks it's a lovely day for a wax!!

This is why comprehensive insurance exists. It may be exxy, but thiese things become so easy to deal with
