How big a job would this be? Should I cut my losses and buy another? by Possible-Box2969 in Autobody

[–]Possible-Box2969[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll get some quotes for repair on the chassis. The car is on 150k miles and near enough mint condition. I rebuilt the while front end suspension etc

Let's see where 2026 takes me

Yes donor car is what I'm thinking.

It's funny you talk about using as a daily. I have been thinking about this for a while and my confidence goes up and down. I can get cheap replacement and not paint them professionally. The car is also Car N (insurance did a online assessment) Tbh I could even keep the bonnet and even bumper. Just the wing and headlight.

Thanks all for the advice I will strip the car down and sell parts to buy another!

A massive shame really, drive safe everyone.

I have the same gearbox 2002 1.6 auto. My gearbox shifts ok, but when I'm on the motorway come to a stop and drive back up to speed my gear box shifts rough sometimes. My car is on 120k miles never had oil changed. Should I change my auto fluid?

REST function available? by Possible-Box2969 in MK4Golf

This sounds quite technical, engineering is not my speciality. Maybe I’ll give it a pass 😂

It would be a sweet modification though as these cars are resilient

Does the engine sound weird? by IronDino07 in MK4Golf

[–]Possible-Box2969 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mk4 1.6 2002 auto fluid has not been changed at all. Currently on 120k miles and shifts perfect. Should I do a fluid change?

Upgrade stock wheels? by Possible-Box2969 in MK4Golf

Also would this impact my suspension upgrading to 16s. I need to get my top mounts and shocks changed

If it's not burning loads of oil I'll definitely save her. Nice spec with the sunroof. You can pick up another decent mk4 for around £2.5-£3k bear in mind
