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

[Jmac]

You can do your build thread in MK4 forum.

300 on a tank is pretty crap, I get over 700 in my S3, that's nearly all highway though.

The fuel will have no influence on the mileage. Certainly not knocking 100 or more ks off a tank.

Log me blocks 002 006 013 with your lead and email me. optimumcode at gmail dot com This is airflow through the MAF.

Do a run from 1500 revs to 5000 in 3rd if you can, then just drive around for a couple of minutes.

Unfortunately you can't see lambda with the ME3.8 ECU.

You should still be able to see the lambda control and learnt values via basic settings, so basic settings with engine at running temp, 04 for basic settings and punch in 030, and control in 032 in basic settings, the Charcoal filter valve will be turned off by the ECU at the same time of the test. let us know what the learnt values are and we can determine whats at fault, rememeber the lambda probe gets influenced by a heap of stuff , one of the old favorites being air leaks, your coolant temp sensor could be duff and your thermostat coud be lying open keeing he engine cool and therefore the injection pulse width longer

Can you see the MAF in there Jimmy?

I'm guessing you had the bubble in the mirror problem, how much did the replacement cost and how difficult was the swap?

Yep good old bubble in the mirror problem. I found one $70 delivered from the UK.. The cheapest I've seen on eBay in a while so I jumped on it. The replacement took just a few minutes and I followed a write up on Vortex..

The past few months I used one of those clip on wide view mirrors I bought for $5 from the Philippines. Wasn't too bad now that I think of it.

Open VCDS, select ECU , measuring blocks, type 002 in the top box hit enter, 006 enter 013 enter. select log, give it a name and start IIRC. Done close when you are finished.

Hi Guys,
I managed to do a couple of logs using Gav's process, but when I tried Jimmy's method, as soon as I go to section '04', it tells me that it has to be a registered version of VCDS Lite. I am emailing the logs to Gav right now, while waiting for a scan to finish, scanning all the useable addresses with my setup..

Installed my Dieselgeek Short Shifter yesterday arvo. Its awesome... but ... I need to either; a) get used to living without 1st and reverse, or b) re-adjust the side-to-side. Havent decided yet. Racecars don't have reverse, maybe its a new direction for my car!

Why dont you have 1st and reverse? just not adjusted properly?

Ha, yeah... Seems I didnt remove the slack from the s2s before tightening it.

It worked at first... I was able to get halfway around the block! haha

Always fun. When i fitted my short shifter it didnt have any thread locker on the pin which decided to come out when i was testing it out. Nothing like driving around changing gears and then you can make one big square with the gearbox haha.

Nice! You could pretend, like me, that you're in some awesome racecar and your box is now a diagonal sequential shift!

Got my Bora back today after a month at the diff doctor.

Tomorrow it will get a good wash and some goodies installed that have been sitting in my shed patiently waiting to go

You can't see it so well in the pic but it is covered in a thick layer of dust

Fixed my adjustment on my short shifter, went around the block this time with no issues. Loving the feel of it, reminds me of driving my GTR.

But, got home and looked under the front guard to see what my wheel was rubbing on and noticed that my CV boot has exploded. Bah!

I feel your pain. It's as if my 'fix-it' list gets something added each time I tick something off!

Yep. She'll get there one day. And when she does, I'll just stop driving it to save myself from breaking anything!

haha. True Dat!

I finally got my speedo as perfect as I'm going to, changing the frequency/impulse/multiplier number to a '4' in '17-Instruments' with the vag-com. I haven't had a chance to get it up to 100 in the last couple of days to test since changing it, but at 60 on the speedo, it now says pretty much spot on 60 on the GPS constantly.. WIN!

Another week (6days) another tank and 685km
Consumption is now down to 7.00l/100km
Failed to remove a door lock module with tek199 yesterday too, gonna need to drill that one out.
