I hope you checked if the rear wiper still has full movement if you haven't tested it yet.. models that came with a rear spoiler on the hatch have a shorter rear wiper blade. Or delete it all together.

Definitely looks like it should clear. Most rear blades for the mk4 are 13.5" long

Also depends on the rear spoiler mate I had to replace mine as it kept hitting it... took one from the mk5 golf and never had it touch again... not that I used it anyway... only for MOT it was on there, was going to delete it but somehow I liked the complete look of the wiper there...

Imho it looks better with than without... but that is my opinion... I hope you checked if the rear wiper still has full movement if you haven't tested it yet.. models that came with a rear spoiler on the hatch have a shorter rear wiper blade. Or delete it all together.

Yeah I've grown to like it now after seeing some other local MK4s' it just brings the car together.

Also did check and it seems my wiper misses it but only just though. I never actually gave that any thought so I got lucky.

Decided to put the v6 to bed and get another car.

Ripped the battery tray, scuttle, wiper motor, dash & steering column out of the V6 tracing botched wiring "repairs"... Fancy sending the interior wiring loom off yours DPW? lol jk but it's a mess in there.

Decided to retire the V5 after 5yrs, bought a S3 8p as it's replacement. The golfs probably getting broken up as there's some tasty upgrades on it.

"Finally" 🤣

Why can we still see your V5 in the pics then..? Bet it's still in use... 😏

Fitted door lights. Is this the modern equivalent of go fast stripes?

Unfortunately the driver's seatbelt mechanism got jammed yesterday.

Ordered a new one - that's $500 I will never see again.

Removed driver side seatbelt. Noticed the black clip wasn't disengaging. Even though it looked free of lint etc, I cleaned it all up with electrical contact spray cleaner and applied lubricant.

Cleaned belt with pressure cleaner.
Belt seems to be working OK, but will wait for new one.

Finished driver seatbelt. Replaced passenger seatbelt latch from donor car.

Replaced 2 coolant hoses: new 1J0 122 073 BR and 1J0 122 101 BF

 

[arek_p]

while contemplating what I shall do with the air con, replaced the Fan Control Module, Fuel Pressure Control valve and belt tensioner.

 

[arek_p]

Installed new combi-valve and reinstalled cleaned throttle body.
No more rough idle at start up.
