I've been tempted by those - how did you connect them up to your light switch - did you have to make your own wiring loom?


re. things I've done to my mk4, forgot to mention that early this morning as I was driving home I got rear-ended as I was waiting to turn right at a set of lights .

I'd been waiting at the lights for a good 40 seconds and was the only car on the road ... Saw the headlights of a car approaching me in my rearview mirror and didn't think anything of it until he just didn't stop(!) - I couldn't believe it. He hit me at about 5 - 10kms an hour and bounced off. Scraped the rear bar and pushed my rego plate into it.

They often come with there own wiring and switch (i cut mine into the blanks next to the hazards button)
No good dude! hope your ok, get there details?

[RolfGolf]

Got all the details and reported it to police today ... Will be ringing the insurance company tomorrow. Looks like I have a month of stuffing around with quotes and getting it sorted ahead of me. Might take the opportunity to get the front bar/bonnet and passenger door looked at too ...

what are the gti rear sets ups? Same as mk4? If so dont think thats good...

[gringo_54_oval]

Ok got home from work and looked in the garage where the bora parked near my hot oval and started thinking.gotta do something different!!!!

So i took apart most of the black plastic parts in the engine bay filter box, big engine cover, fuse box cover, battery cover, wiring harness cover thingy near air filter.
I polished one of the aluminuim bits on the throttle body with alloy polish almost chrome like
Im going to spray them in a nice colour.make the bay look flashy.

[gavs]

4 new spark plugs and a sample machine polish on the C pillar, holy crap it looks good after 2 passes!! Also received new coolant temp sensor, out with the black one, in with the nice, new green one hopefully this will fix the intermittent idle and the slight over-fuelling...

Just sent it off on a tow truck after some idiot turned straight into the side of me. Now the fun begins with insurance and repairs
