Mk4 = Modern Sheit

Whisper it quietly....

It has been said these cars are just good for being 20v donors

 

Mk4 platform stuff sucks, they do have a certain french feel when working on them and all the pain and effort you put in for a pretty poor handling lard ass.

 

Thats exactly it, its like working on french crap.

 

rear beam bushes. evil.

interior fixings.

the leaking crank seal i caused by fitting a new crank seal when i did the clutch.

other than that its good

 

Spot on! Pure junk!

 

Lol, You cant compare a Mk4 to French crap ?

I agree on the handling, it could do with being more stiff from standard, especially on the GTI

Everyone who has been in mine has always commented what a nice car it is.

Here's mine

 

Trouble is us hardened seized wishbone bolt removers have made the decision already.
I am pretty sure I have a Citroen, Renault or Peugeot badge here I can send down to you Richard.

Think I will be pushing for Mk4s to be banned from the forum next tbh.

 

Jambo would be furious

Hold on, why are you in the possession of a Mk4 then ? ......

 

Because it was a 16v model and I am making sure it is destroyed properly and never to be used on the road again.
I am Davros, king of Daleks to the 16v engines...........EXTERMINATE!! EXTERMINATE!!

 

The trouble with unpimping modern sheit is the unpimper is then unable to travel in comfort south of the Roman Wall to watch old school vehicles being thraped

what a thread, with people claiming the engines are good for transplants? such an UN-GTI engine only has one place, in a MK4, putting it in anything else is just daft

 

I know the 2.0L 8v MK4 could do with 'Exterminating'. Not sure why they bothered making it tbh ? And definitely not worthy of the GTI badge.

These are the best looking MK4's imo -

Just for you Danny

 

Oh rly

I'm thinking of a red Mk1

 

Richard, that car has two doors on one side, and one on the other.

Yep, but that would be an 8v engine from a mk4. The only 16v engine fitted to a mk4 appears to be made of cheese. IE soft as.

 

Look again

 

Friday afternoon car?

Hang on, they were all built on Friday afternoons? Saturday then!

 

Ahh it is a different car. I think you may just be trying to confuse and distract me by posting lots of pictures. And also try to make me forget about sending this French car badge your way.

EDIT: Is that Scully off the X files?

 

Stop talking about French cars, Jambo has gone crazy with all this non VW talk...

 

Pfft, impossible to know if you don't watch TV

I don't watch much TV and X-Files is outside the 5 things I might watch!
