We bought a MK4 R32 golf at work, I had it out on Friday, i was never a fan of them when they were new but now that big capacity NA hatches are no longer a thing, there is something cool about it!
regularly do around 150k on the clutches on our cars so that would be over 250,000 km, of course it all comes down to driving style but they do last a while
Normal, they have a very high bite point which is usually confused as a clutch on the way out. The cable is auto adjusted at the pedal so no adjustment, if its getting stiff it could be worth putting a clutch cable on it. I've had them get creaky
were heated seats even available!? lol I've seen the space in the fuse box but never actually seen one! i had the leccy roof, climate, cabasse, cruise, esp, negative nav though!
campus sport/dynamique/RS 172/182 non cup style will fit:
As will the cup spoiler:
and so will the Trophy/V6 spoiler (if your picky you will want shorter boot struts to stop it catching):
Billy bad boys uploading flash maps from the internet is nothing new but, The certificate is a new one 😂
I'd put money on that having gained 2hp, and that was 3hp from the decat and -1hp from the map
IMO the whole attraction of a 172/182 was that they were cheap fun, i feel when you then introduce a turbo, and the extra heat, strain and running costs that brings with it then its now no longer cheap, and while still fun, and now with even more comedy factor you now have to be a lot more...
I've had a few always with the centre silencer (you can buy a centre section from them if you call up) I always found they sounded great but now I'm too old for them they sound loud and boomy!
that's the higher spec mirror (same as the RS models), that is the auto lights/wipers sensor - that plastic cover that goes over it has another bit thats missing from the bottom that the mirror mounts onto.
not that I'm aware of, imo its probably less work to stick a Mégane engine in it, which has been done. Not like the 1.6 is a hero engine thats worth the conversion. the engine and box are quite well suited imo!
generally they will start fine, but electrical gremlins happen long before it gets to the point there isn't enough juice to start the engine, worth a check
