My Mk4 Gt-tdi..
« on: 27 August 2011, 21:02 »
Right im starting a new thread as ive now made the move from my 8v mk3 Anniversary to a Gt-tdi.
A little about the car well its a 2001 115bhp model in a nice metalic grey shes had 3 owners in total and a stamped service book upto 100 odd thousand.Its covered 138,000 but the engine pulls really well and the mpg is awsome.As when you first get a car all the things you missed when viewing it kinda pop up  :grin: and you think how did I miss that  :grin: Ive started a list of things that need sorting and I thought my mk3 was bad  :grin:

Hand brake is high needs adjusting its just had new discs and pads all round.
Took the engine cover off and it looks like the rocker gasket is leaking by where the EGR valve.
My clutch pedal feels loose as in the pedal slightly moves clutch etc fine.
Every now and then I hear a kinda clicking noise on the drivers side when driving over bumps it sounds like the pads not sure.
Needs a new arm rest as the old ones broken.
The dash trim bits and door handles look a bit tatty so Im either gonna carbon wrap them or replace them with some new ones
Horrid rear spoiler is being removed shortly
Few dings and scuffs on the body but its nothing to bad front bumpers got a few stone chips so ill have the painter sort that.

Mods on the car
FK angel eyes which are black inside
Miltec exhaust think its just the back box
V6 four motion rear lower valence
Not sure if the front spoilers different
Euro front wipers
mk5 rear wiper arm

Planned mods
Well I tryed my TT Comps on the car and they just looked lost  :grin: I think im gonna go for some 18" wheels
Coilovers and lowered a must
A Recaro trim as mines not Recaro
and maybe a Remap as im not sure if mines had one tbh the guy reakons it has but im not sure.

I havent got new pictures yet and I still havent even cleaned it just havent had any time  :grin:







I will be up dating as soon as I start getting this sorted just got to start all over again lol

Looks good, love the colour :cool:

When you get a chance can you post a few pics of the headlights with them turned off? Trying to decide what to do with mine :undecided:

I saw a mk4 with comps on yesterday actually. That had been lowered, but still didnt look all that. Dont get me wrong it was ok, but not exactly eye catching. Deffinately need 17s or 18s possibly to make em stand out.
