Really awesome hey😊😅

I consider myself lucky then, bought my golf already heavily used and beat up, but the liner was mint somehow, despite it being a dog car judging from the scratches and bites on everything plastic.

@Mikel Gates rust is a big factor these days, sills and rear arches, front wings are easily changed. Check interior carpets and boot are dry as there are a lot of leak prone areas, mainly window regulator to door seals. I'd recommend a 1.8t or gt tdi 130/150. Lots of Service history for both the petrol & diesel turbo engine is essential in my opinion. Walkaway from any smoke out the back of a petrol, especially when hot. Diesel shouldn't smoke like an old train.... look at a few cars, the level of trim and maintenance will vary greatly. £2500 should see a good one. Good luck 🍀😁

@@mikelgates6314 rear axle they like to snap

And the seal inside of the doors going bad causing humidity to creep in the car, and the old plastic clips everywhere (super convenient to dismantle the interior but breaks easily) (Yes i have one and i love it)

@Armoule lol I've had too many to count, lmao 🤣 I think I'm on number 30 or something like that lol 😆 this one is completely custom though 😅

Cutting the end of the grommets in the doors and in boot (VWs official million euro fix lol) for the sunroof should stop any future blockages from the drains…I’ve purchased 2 mk4s and both cars sunroof drains wasn’t even connected to the grommets so also worth checking , easy fix with a steel core washing line run through and out the door 👌🏻

@Knwgt local shop to me sells a really long brush that fits perfect in the drains for the sunroof lol 😆

Agreed, altough im about to sell mine, i enjoyed it. Just a regular old beater with many problems, but it never left me stranded and never was too pricey to fix. And for a small car, it can move so much shit lol, my friend and i both have a mk4 and when he was moving, we did several trips stuffed to the brim, except for the largest furniture, he moved thanks to this car.

And also my 90 corrado

It definitely isn't lmao 🤣

Most cars have the bit on the end of the sun visor so when it's folded down there is a bit the covers the bit of window above the rear view mirror but the mk4 doesn't have on so they had to fit a separate sunvisor for above the rear view mirror 😉

You should read the manual before you post nonsense on here

@djloafers hahaha read the manual, I basically know it at this point lmao 🤣 I've been working on these for 10 years or more now lmao 🤣 they are fitted with anti glare mirrors from the factory maybe practice what you preach

You can still do it

I know it closes the sunroof but I haven't tried opening it

No, that button is a small light bulb to help you unlock your car in the dark... look right next to the key blade...

I have a 3-door '98 golf mk4 that has central locking but no remote lock/unlock. That being said, since I do have central locking, I just bought a chinese remote unlock/lock receiver kit and have soldered it to the micro switches (well, the cables that go to the switches) of the lock, which are being pressed when you turn the key in the lock and give the signal to unlock/lock all doors. So I have the same key as you because of that 15$ upgrade😁

The Button on the inside has to show the folding mirror icon or it would not work

Its useless

@@andersson2504 yes

Got them off ebay

You could try ebay

Get a set from a wrecked B5 Passat. It will be much cheaper at a Pick-a-Part.

There is a centre consol with cup holders it's the us spec

​@@benjaminsmith5342 there is a little bit of a scene tax on them though, as I haven't seen any that are much under 100$.
