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

[RolfGolf]

Looking good mate!!! You fitted brakes yet??

I'm close(!) Got to them with a wire brush and some black paint (to match my colour scheme), but I have a list that gets longer each day!

Latest is O2 sensors - anyone got quotes on them recently(?) I got quoted $300 odd pre-cat and $700 post-cat - seriously looking at getting them from the UK.

Interior's close to going back in and front suspension is on the list for the weekend - some would say I should do the brakes at the same time, but I think three jobs at a time is all I can handle at the moment ...

Have you put the part numbers into ebay?

Yep, pretty sure it's AGU. Not chipped ... yet! I'll get it going first, then after a while (maybe a few months), when I catch up a bit on the money it's cost me, then I'll look at a tune. I'll be so happy just to be off the buses and back on the road! 1.8T in my colour, wanted this for a while, pity it took the 1.6L gearbox dying, but it's finally headed in the right direction.

I will have an amazing 1.6L (AKL) engine for sale afterwards too. Perfect condition, timing belt, water pump, etc all done 1 month before gearbox died, not 1 drip of oil, nor a spot of dirt, amazing condition, extremely reliable, just a pity the #&$* gearbox couldn't handle it. Oh well.

This is an 06A 906 018CH which will run the cruise control if you fit that. Could be a part exchange deal on this Lito. I'd take the standard one off you.

Haha, yeah, I knew that was coming, I saw it for sale already. Nah, I'm already broke and will have to extend my credit card limit just to get it all running and back on the road. Good idea though. PM me if you still have it in a while & can handle a price drop.

Here's my car, dark-bluey-grey', aka: 'Blue Anthracite' :

It looks sweet with those wheels.

Hahaha, I've been saying that ever since I got it to that stage & took that photo months ago!

It's on it's way though Gavin! 1.8T will be in by next week! Then ...

mate, looks mint in that colour with those wheels! As stated in my sale thread, all prices are ono (just between me, you and the flies on the wall I'd probably take half of what i stated in the ad)

Hmm, interesting... I'll see where I end up (money wise) by the end of next week Lito. I might need to move the 1.6L engine for some much needed coin. Do you know what sort of KW and torque it is meant to produce?

Thanks.

146kw and 325nm according to the APR website. Let me know how you go with the swap and we can work something out. Good luck with it mate, I hope it goes smoothly

Hmm, I just thought of this: I won't have the cruise control etc to control it, being the 1.6L Comfort Control Module and lack of physical controls ... Problem? ...

How would I control it? Any thoughts from the pros on that part? Jimmy? Gavin?
