What are the common faults on Mk4 Golfs and Boras?
Poor running can be attrubuted to many things but MAF are also a common weakness with the mk4s. turbo flatspot (prob dodgy MAF), maybe dodgy coilpacks too. How far can i go on std internals? The common concensus is about 300bhp before engine components start failing. Headlight / side light bulbs are a mare to change. Northampton, ENGLAND!

What to do if your club GTI is leaking?
Remove the boot lid cover by undoing a screw in each handle on the inside, then pull the plastic cover to unclip. The boot catch then comes out by undoing the 2 large spline bolts. Try drying the switch with a hairdryer after stopping the leaking hose, or ultimately replace the whole boot catch. Can also cause the alarm to act strangely.
Are there any issues with the VW Golf TDI?
There’s also a lot of wear on the valve lobes. One of them to the extent where you can see metal fraying off the edge of the lobe! So the plan is to change the camshaft, cam followers, injector seals, timing belt with tensioners and the water pump while I’m at it.
What kind of engine does a Golf TDI have?
I bought a MK4 Golf TDI last year, the 150 BHP version. Everything looked good on paper and it test drove well. I know that they suffer with camshaft issues but this one had a new camshaft installed fairly recently with some work done to the injectors also. It had all the extras I wanted, climate control etc.
