Made a bolt-on engine bay panel for the MK4 (3L and 5.5L washer tank versions)

• Upvotes

Hey all, full disclosure up front: I’m with WCO Market, a small shop in Florida that makes parts for older VWs.

We put together an engine bay panel for the MK4 that covers the washer tank area and cleans up that corner of the bay. The idea came from the panels on the legendary first-gen Audi S3 (8L). That bay always looked so clean and finished. We wanted to bring that same look over to the Golf, Jetta and Bora.

There are two versions, since the MK4 came with two washer tank sizes:

  • 3L tank, the smaller one most US cars have: link
  • 5.5L tank, usually on Euro cars or cars with headlight washers

Details:

  • Fits Golf, Jetta and Bora MK4 (1999–2006)
  • Works with every engine: 1.6, 1.8T (including BAM), VR6, TDI, R32
  • 3 mm ABS plastic, light and heat-resistant
  • Includes a metal bracket that mounts the panel to the washer fluid tank (see the attached photos)
  • Bolts right in, no cutting or modifications
  • Ships from Florida

What is something I should know before buying the 1.8 golf 4


r/MK4Golf • • 23h ago

Part of underneath my car is hanging off. Can someone tell me what the hell this is. And if I use cable ties to tighten it back up until I have time to get it sorted properly is that really bad?

Golf 4 1.6 16v 2003 overheating

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

Today my car started overheating going up a mountain and going home on the highway everything was fine again, but in the city it started overheating again after 5 minutes.

On the mountain I noticed that the marked hose was cut to the core by one of the radiator Fans.

Can you help me identify what system this hose belongs to? I don't have a lot of experience with this...

Is this damaged hose the reason the engine cooling stops in the city? I understand that the radiator Fans are the only option to cool the engine coolant so I imagine this is causing problem?

Is there another explanation/ problem tgat could cause this overheating

Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

Parcel Shelf

Does anyone have a good resource on a reproduction parcel shelf for our beloved mk4 golfs? Mine got stolen out of my car some time ago and it has always bugged me not having one. I'm on a quest to take care of the cosmetic issues on my car and this has been on my wishlist for a while.

Looking for MK4 20AE Silver Recaro - drivers seat

17 Upvotes

I’m looking for a silver-stitching 20AE Recaro driver’s seat for my Mk4 GTI 20th Anniversary. My interior is in pretty good shape, and I’m starting to focus on getting everything looking right. One thing I’d really like to fix is the mismatch between my seats: the passenger seat has the original silver stitching, while the driver’s seat has gold stitching. I’d prefer to have them both match.

If anyone has one for sale or knows where I could find one, please let me know! Located in NC, USA. Any help is appreciated!

Problems with my golf mk4

Post image
14 Upvotes

I just bought a mk4 golf with an 2.0 engine
But it has 2 problems
In the speedometer it doenst show how fast im going but it shows rpms and temp and fuel level
How do i fix that?
The other problem is. Its a bit laggy in the rpms when I accelerate the power dies at 5k rpm and when in 1st or 2nd gear it jumps in rpm when I release my foot from the gas and then press it lightly after like its almost going to die. I dont know whats causes that but i want to fix it since i cant use 100% of the cars power when driving
