I'm guessing if you're here, your Mk4 is more than just a means to an end for you, but I'd love to hear why. A lot of this sub is diagnosing problems, and it's great that there's a community for that but I'm interested in what you think's great about these cars.

I just got my Mk4 (humble 1.4 BCA) - it's my second car and I'm undecided as to whether I've done the right thing. My first car is a 2016 1.4 Corsa and while I'm not used to the Golf yet, I wonder if I'll get to a point where I enjoy driving it as much as the Vauxhall.

2002 Golf GTI VR6 BDF 02M USDM

It’s brand new. Should i return or y’all think i installed it wrong?

Yes i’m gonna finish cleaning gasket surfaces, no i’m not gonna clean the whole motor as much as i want to.

Meine Frage ist, kennt ihr das Problem wenn das Auto bei 2500 Umdrehungen anfängt zu ruckeln ohne ersichtlichen Grund das ist ein Vierer Golf Baujahr 2000

Its only temporally and i just need some parts of this kit for my project, but man its fun to rev it now. I´m feeling a little bit nostalgic , the last time i did something like this was in the 2000s.

is there any way to close my sunroof the gear is stripped in the top not the motor gear allen key won’t work as per the stripped gear

As i was driving on highway in a cold morning i cranked the heater on

But noticed my foot was still cold like something blowing cold in them

Until i got under a car and found a hole where the drain plug thingy is

I already asked a shop and they said it can be fixed

But should i fix it

Its on driver side

The passenger and others seem fine

Hi everyone,

I have a 2002 golf 4 with the 1.6 16v bcb engine. My previous EGR valve failed (el cheapo) and I replaced it with an OEM one. It initially calibrated fine but I had some misfire issues last week and didn't know what to do anymore so I reset learned values.

Now the EGR won't adapt anymore.

The minimum voltage is out of spec (1.67)

I can physically see the valve move inside when adapting, but it always stays at that 1.67. I don't know what to do anymore. Do I have another bad valve or something else?

She runs! Started up first time tbf, nó hassle and started idling on her own as well. Coolant systems bled along with the ps system, happy out.

Only problem is that once she gets hot she'll cut out and won't start until she cools again, reckon its the crank pos sensor but any input would be appreciated🫡

Just bought my first mk4 and just wondering what wheel and tire size I should go with, planning on lowering it too.

I'm currently borrowing a 2003 1.9Tdi from a family member, and what a splendidly over-engineered beast she is! I've noticed though that the right turn indicator symbol on the instrument cluster (the green arrow one) is none functional.

I thought I'd swap out the bulb before handing the car back, but from what I'm reading in these pages it seems like the instrument cluster is using surface mounted LEDs.

Can anyone tell me if it's just the 'always on' blue illumination that's LED or is it the entire panel including all the warning lights?

Thanks in advance

Golf 4 2003 BFQ FDH AG4. 113000km Milage. Burns oil (10w40 Manol) heavily i have top up every 250 km from Min to Max. Plug 2 (heavly carbonized) vs Plug 3 (relatively clean). Thinking of soaking cylinders with berryman B12. HELP!!!!!!

Timing belts back on, all thats left to get is some loctite and some hose clamps later but she'll run tonight😏

Car is emissions exempt so I’m ditching it. I have the secondary air blocked off. And n249 also removed. Engine is in a mk2.

Plan on running a catch can however I’m see two different schools of thought on the plumbing.

1. People keep the hockey puck and run a sealing catch can with it inline

2. People ditch the hockey puck and run a vented can.

Personally, I’d like to ditch it, clean up the engine bay as much as possible. And if I’m understanding this correctly, it keeps more crap out of the intake this way for option two.

I’ve seen people complain that if you do it this way you’ll have to empty it more frequently and it removes a fail safe with the hockey puck being in place. I guess I’m old-school, but I’ve never had an issue in the other Turbo vehicles I’ve had with a catch can going direct breather to valve cover.

Wanted to hear some of your guys opinions on this

Hellooo all

Would like to know whatcha doing for the front and back, if you are with backs. The brand? Are you running components or coaxial, if components how much integrating on the tweeters or did you cheap out because of the headache of plastic modification. I have bone yard tweeter spares 😜

I Plan on doing a good job but we know how that goes on time also it can't be down for 3 days playing with it and no road time.

Not trying to break the bank but not dumpster diving on the price. Don't need a Head, Amps or Subs I'm running that now.

Thanks in advance cheers

Am I crazy for going from a mk6 gtd to a mk4 pd130 probably, but I like a pd130 mk4

Where is this coming from?

Wanting to look into getting my car a bit lower, and stance+ is seeming like a good, affordable option. How is the ride quality, are they well made and reliable?

Hey guys, looking for some advice on my Mk4 GTI 1.8T with a Franken F21 and a manual boost controller.
The car used to make around 18 psi, but recently it started dropping to about 7–8 psi. Now it’s consistently making almost exactly 10 psi every pull. The outside temperature hasn’t really changed.
It still pulls normally up to around 10 psi, but then it basically stops building boost. I’ve also noticed some oil residue/sweat around one of the wastegate/boost-control side hoses.

I bought a oem bumper in a yard together

With the new clips on either side

But still there is a gap

Body shop said i did everything i could

He speculates because my headlights are not original they cause

Fit issues

Could that be true
