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

[grtuned]

Buy a new one. Not worth the headache having a 2nd failing. Go genuine can't be more than $40.00 that's guessing

Yea im going to solitaire to see if they can get me one, i think ill need to buy the whole assembly not just the cap :/

Picked up some 4mo rear calipers. And also scored Litos carriers and spacers to suit. Thanks!
So will upgrade the bora from 280 and 230ish to 312mm and 256mm plus tt spindles so I can get some better tie rod angle and flip mine out of the way for the future lows (currently touching the passenger one on chassis) Just need to find some new pads for all round and some new rotors for the back.
Be a bit sad to not see how far I can get out of the original pads and discs, but the failing rear caliper is annoying me so might as well upgrade rather than rebuilding

So finally did some talking to solitaire i ordered the ball pin for the gearbox. Picked it up today from Dan. Showed me the updates on his jetta. Looks good!

Thought it better to post here than start a new thread.

I need to replace all discs & pads, never done it myself - where is the best place to buy? And should I buy OEM, or other brands worth getting?

Gave the old girl a service, noticed that my sway bar has been rubbing on the driveshaft.

I'm looking to buy an R32 H&R bar from a user on the forum. Don't know what diameter the bar is yet, need to source bushes and brackets to suit.

Got my sagging grey headliner replaced with black at a local auto trimmers, did a great job. I had all the pillar trims done to match. $220.
Fitted it myself yesterday, looks great!

Ordered a timing belt kit from ECS last night, complete with water pump, thermostat and serpentine belt.

What front shocks are you using? They'll need to have the mounting tabs for the sway bar links as they don't mount on the control arm like the fwd sway bars

[Duke999R]

I have FK Streetlines - no tabs. I'm going to get some links made to suit fitting to the control arms..

Replaced the glovebox in my buddy's Mk4 2slow. FML never again!

Did my 2nd flush of the cooling system today to try and get all the green coolant out gotta do another flush tomorrow and then final one Sunday before fresh red coolant can go in

[dubster99]

So tackled my dog bone mount. The bolt head was rounded so forced a 15mm spanner on with a hammer. Worked a treat! New bushes which was a pain using a vice on the floor but none the less its done!

I'd like to hear how that goes. I was thinking it might be a good piece of mind job for the next round of parts orders.

Personally, i received my cheapy fog light, DRL/Indicator front bar grills today from the China. No wiring diagram which was to be expected but a quick google returned enough result to get the swap on the way.
I love Youtube. Without it, i would have gone under the dash in search of a way to to remove the fog light switch lol.

Which ones did you get? Any chance of photos?

I've been looking at this but have always been unsure how they'd look on the Bora!

Purchased these ones.

I am also not sure what the end result will be but i need some extra lumens in the mornings on the country back roads. Too many koalas and wallabys around sunrise.

I'll get some picks up once fitted
