Cheers JV
Right this is my 1st MK4 after moving away from a few mk3 of the last few years, mine last been GTI 8v
So on to the current and new toy,
Its a 99 1.8t AGU, Jazz blue, FVWSH, 125k on the clock and the winter pack
Droped into the local stealers where last few services have been done and had a chat with them about the car and they said that car has in the last 2-3 years has just about everything replaced from exhaust to bushes and also had its cam belt and water pump done at the start of the year so im happy :grin:
The only thing wrong was that it was missing the cap from the front bumper where it covers the washer for headlights and a few stone chips on bonnet and a broken driver side sun visor and rear ashtray was broken aswell, so overall a very tidy and well looked after car :grin:
This the only pic i have at the moment as i cant find my cam :angry:

So i thought i would do a oil & filter change last weekend which should only no more then a hour for a quick drop oil, filter off and new one on and and some fresh oil put. Filter off is where it all went wrong :cry: now ive done uncountable oil changes over the years but never came across one so tight it bent 2 screwdrivers & snap oil filter chain :shocked: so 4hr late and in darkness and numb(rained all day) i called it a night, following day the soon to be farther-law came around with a 2ft stake :shocked: :grin: so out comes the hammer and we set to on the filter, 20min this is the result :grin: sorry for poor pic
