started with Golf MK2 GTI (1988-1989 and still owns it :-) sitting in the garage) and progressed to golf MK 4 GTI 1.8T (1999 - extremely good all rounder, owned for 4 years and not a penny wasted other than servicing). Can't see myself changing or considering any other car. Very happy with them...

NO, no silicon in this, dont have them on me now. but they do a great job, matt finish for the dashboard and they clean the grimes. For upholstery, which I love most, they really do clean. I had chocolate finger print all over the roof lining, adn this baby cleaned it all with minimal fuss. I'll...

Err.. let me the exact name (i call everything a-z. like you call a vacuum cleaner a hoover). xxxxx of Great Britan, or something like that. I need it now, cause as of this weekend I am off for 3 weeks, planning to take the children somewhere (not London :D). LegoLand, longleat, and a weekend...

My kit is integrated into the car's head unit, with microphone routed (wires hidden) to the visor. I setup my phone to bluetooth permanantly so it is available as soons as I switch on the car. To avoid having to use a hand to answer the phone, I can setup my phone to auto-answer after certain...

Don't know about replacing facia, mine was standard DIN size, so it just slotted in. I know I could have done that myself, but the car had 6 CD Auto Changer, he removed this and installed the new one and also the microphone for the phone has to be routed to the visor. He did pretty good job and...

I got myself (from Ebay) a motorized 4inch flip screen head unit; and it features, FM TV, Bluetooth (Music streaming and phone) IPod, Accepts GPS signal, Accepts rear camera signal (auto flip the view) MP4 (all format including divx) MP3 USB SD cards AUX DVD hosts of other...

It has to be my Recaro seats. Solid and comfy. Next tinted windows (on the list soon to be done).

My car had them originally by VW. they are discrete and fill a gap and they do keep the side of the car clean. :D

I switch on my sat nav, and also check my A-Z (permanently on the back seat) and drive :D

Never used an air freshner - they are ugly and disctracting. I use a dashboard wipes (and upholstery) with smell of different fruits. I wipe the dashbaord on average 3-4 times a month. It cleans and freshens. Currently I am hooked on strawberry. :D

Aston Martin DB9 :D

I have one that covers the VW golfs. Good reading but no space to practice :p

Super cars with anti-gravity engines (super green engine) equipped with a special canopy for out-of-atmoshpere-driving (ooad) and a floating McDonald Space-Away (you heard it here first :) ).

Van drivers are the worst (They have no idea what signals are for). BMW drivers are very annoying. everytime I see a car in the middle lane going 60 mph, I can bet it is a BMW driver.

I used them all but mostly the centre mirror. The sides ones are angled slightly to see the kerb.

I use my phone which has GPS built-in and CoPilot Live (i can install any other if I want to but I am happy with CoPilot). One piece for everything, multimedia (MP3), internet (google, such as show me the nearest mcDonald or garage where I am now), phone and all. It connects via the AUX to my...

that is right. But is it really all I need? won't other parts be affected by this power increase? I mean will the standard parts cope with this extra bhp?

I would say I am a con supporter (21 degree all year round). But these days (fuel prices) i sue the sunroof and the windows slightly open to balance the pressure. I also heard that using the aircon robs the car of BHPs. is it true? although opening the windows introduces drag and resistance...

Hmmm... I am thinking of remapping to stage 1, but not sure if I need to change other parts? (The more I read the more I get confused :D ). I just want it around 200 BHP.

Of course you will not have the same comfort. Less rubber on the wheels and closer to the road; but I must admit it still rides comfortably. Was harder at the start, a year on and the suspension softened a bit and much more comfortable now and I have forgotten about it :D

thanks guys. All the internals are standard, nothing has been touched. These are the mdofications (and only and no more) I did: Weitek suspensions (lowered 25-30mm). 16 inch alloys. New grooved and drilled brake discs all round. brake pipes changed to steel braided hoses. New stanless steel...

Vw golf gti mk2 1988 :d why can't I see the pics?

HI Again, I checked out the engine code and it is AGU. So that puts it at 150 BHP for that year. I got a list of engine codes :) from here: http://www.qpeng.com/faqs/engine_faqs/all_these_engine_codes_can_you_explain_what_they_mean.html Thanks all for your suggestions, and that is one...

Hi All, Is there an easy way to find out the car's Data (spec)? The reason I am asking, is that I bought this golf 2 years ago from a lady. Fantastic car. This is a T reg. It has full recaro sport seats, heated front seats, wood effect, climate control (not bad for that year), cup holders...

Please don't laugh :embarrest:. I have never driven any other car but VW golfs :embarrest: For me it is about looks, power, and fucntionality, it has to be a daily car, a family car, a tansporter, understated and a good cruiser and able to put up a fight at the traffic lights :D French...

Great. I'll chekck out the clay bar but I'll wait for your results first. That will really help me. It is the only thing that is not fixed on my car :lol:

I'd love to do my own. Problem is you need space. I live in a an enclosed area with no roads to the front of the house (footpath and gardens). At the back there are garages but owned by the council and will not sell. There is a garage attached to my house but they won't sell it to me (I don't...

Hi all, The previous owner of my current car (VW MK4) had a dog (lots of dog scratches on tailgate and bumber), and it seems that she used to open the doors with keys in her hand. So a lot of key scratches underneath the door handles. there is a coin size spot on teh bonnet where the metallic...

Not a clue :lol: But ... I buy the service kit myself and then go to the garage for servicing and ask them to use the kit. I fully trust my local garage. Those are the people who will change my oil for free as well as a broken bulb :lol:

Interesting. Thanks for the info, will definitely look at it.

Really? I thouhgt I can just buy the 18inch and bolt them on (on the MK4 not hte MK2) :p

Hi I mean when I am taking corners, I feel the backside of the car not firmly on the road. It wants to slide. From reading, some suggestion, to add struts bracers in the back (not sure where) to firm it up or stiffen it. Otherwise the car drives really good and I am enjoying it.

I am not sure if I can call myself a victim, but there were 6 attempts to steal my car (VW golf MK2) (all failed :-) ). Had to rent a garage from the local council to lock it in. Sad really.

Damn,you just reminded me. I need to fix the cigarette lighter (it is not working. it does not heat up. the socket is working as it powers my mobile) and I never use it:D but it is not working lol. Well, my yearly service is due nest month as well as TAX :mad:

The car is top priority. To offest the expenses, I reduced smoking to 2 cigs a day, go out only once or twice a month, reduce junk food, more economical in my shopping and leisure expenses etc... I did reduce using the car unncessarily, however the urge to push the car when driving is just...

LOL, I saw a similar stunt on 5th gear. Amazing. Wish I could do that and I'll beat my neighbour to the parking lot.

Have done no modifications to this car. bought it at 52000 from one lady owner (i bet she drove it over 40 mph). It just feels so new and pulls buckets. Had it for 2 years now. The more I read about modifications, the more I am reluctant to do it. I need to research what parts I need to...

Hi, Is there a map that show what things are and where inside the egine's bay? I haven't taken out the engine's cover at all :rolleyes: It is a Golf Mk4 1.8T 1999. Thanks in advance.

For me everything must work perfectly. Even those little things that are not important or do not require immediate fix. I am totally obsessed with things. It must work and I immediately fix it (and always broke :toung:). For example, a broken mirror adjustment switch ( I can do without). I go...

What is the car? I finish my wife's car and mine this November :p and i set my eyes on a GOLF R32 :bigsmile:
