No, but I should have.. Don't worry, I have a shootload of pictures to fill one up once I finally start it. Heaps of pics for my mods and fixes like: Joey modded lights, Intercooler install and custom mounts, own method for brake light switch repair and rebuild, full interior swap to black with leather Bora sport seats, only basic pics for 1.8T engine swap and coilovers install, tail lights swap, Votex valance fitting and painting to colour match, noisy starter motor removal and recondition/re-grease, etc,, etc.,
Looking into next/today: retro fitting fog lights into my non fog Joey modded headlights. I've salvaged the fog lights and wiring harnesses from the smashed headlights from this great condition parting out/wrecking/breaking MK4 Golf GTI that 'Schalke04' is getting rid of parts on, get in touch with him ASAP if you want anything, he's a great guy and wants to move it so check out his thread below.. Great condition black/grey GTI seats, etc.!
Dark Grey Mk4 Golf, 1.8T GTI conversion, APR stage 1, stock air intake, FMIC, 3" to 2.5" Exhaust, FK AK Street Coils, Black 18" (Avant Garde M310's ?), tinted tails, ...
All good! Tempe Tyres sorted me out.. Only $40 total, $20 for the 10x 40mm bolts, and $20 to install the spacers with new bolts!
Pic time.. Gave it a wash, finished painting Votex valance (not rubbed back or buffed yet), 15mm H&R spacers on rear, and FMIC for those who hadn't seen that yet too..

Damn clutch pedal went on me this morning. 2nd gear all the way to work!!!
The one thing I never thought of changing earlier,
I suppose 9 years is a good run for a part.

Damn >.<
Sounds like you need to learn how to rev-match
If you can learn how to do that, then you only need the clutch to start off the line. The way to do that when you have no access to the clutch is to use the starter motor to kick the clutch&flywheel and get you off the line.
Maybe do some quick research at work so you drive the bastard home.

Knew that. Luckily enough that's the only way to get her going. Thats a good tip for anyone else who gets in that situation you can start them in 2nd and drive them away.

9 years is a good effort. Mine is still on the original so I'm wondering just how much longer it's got.
Cleared the defect. Lowered it as soon as I got to school :p
Winning!!

Change it!!!! That's my advise if it's never been done. It's a prick of a job but ill do a write up on how i do it tonight just for your info.
Do you have a fwd or awd golf?
Any clutch change is a pain in the ass, but fwd/awd in small cars even more so.
I had to remove the gearbox three times in my old car (remove auto, install manual and install new manual after I screwed up the first manual box) and being a fwd 3.5L V6 made for a very frustrating install. Millimeters of space to work with and it would only go in one way.
Do mk4 veedubs like audi's have a "service position" to be able to gain more space?

Magna hey!!! They are a pain. you'd be surprised with Vw gearboxes there much easier to take out. You can remove the front of most Audi and Vw but no need to when removing the gearbox. By the way my clutch pedal was the cause of my problem. Cheers.
