What did u do to your Mark3 yesterday?

[will_t]

adjusted my coils and fixed the infamous pcv valve leak

[MKVmyfast]

I've ridden in cars with ultra lows and they are stiff as nails. So are the cheaper sets you can get. On rs2s I'm sitting an inch from the ground and could set the car on the ground if I wanted to, the car floats across the roads with the dampeners at the first setting, with 17 other dampener settings I can range from great daily driving to great track days. Don't get me wrong h&r is a great company, but there coil overs are built for track and not for the street, thus I will always run b&g.

Idk everyone that has been in my car loves it but I would like to get in a MK3 with B&G's. Anyone local have these want to go for a cruise s on me

Got cited for running my plate in the rear hatch window...was told before by city police that it was fine. Gonna take the case to court. The state cop was very unprofessional and rude to say the least.

He must also cite people with temporary tags on a regular basis.

Fix it, go in and show its fixed. Done. Then put it back if you want to.

Scuffed up my knuckles reaching into the dash to do the cruise control diagnostic on the harness.

Love watching the pedal get pinned to the floor as the pump runs. Don't love that I'm going to have to send in my cruise control computer for a warranty rebuild after less than a year. Also don't love that the shop hasn't responded to my warranty query from a week ago.

[heerschap]

disconnected a bunch of things, almost ready for engine removal.



nasty stuff !

[VW_MK3_270]

@VW_MK3_270 not trying to sound like a douche or question your purchase but your profile says your a engineer and hopefully a successful one but why not buy great coilovers like H&R ultralows and safe your self from all the future bouncing your about to do?

I did not buy H&R Ultra Lows because I don't want to go ultra low. and they cost $1200.


Was just looking for a stiffer setup. I am riding on shot OEM struts right now. will let you know how they ride when I get them installed.

[mk3jet4life]

These just got delivered... cant install though until finals are done(next week). Also have new front suspension stuff to install too.


Cant wait to bounce my guts into mush.

just got mine today! haha also did a custom headliner,fixed the lights in the gauge cluster and fixed the passenger seat adjustment set up.
i am not finished with the headliner. i am going to turn all the gray parts to black and some parts red

[MrMook]

Pulled the trans.

Powerwashed/degreased the "new" trans (stock AUG unit from my MKII autoX car).
Replaced TO bearing, seals and gaskets, new thrust plate (old one was worn oddly), and clutch disk from MKII (since the AUG trans is a small spline, while my old 2Y was large spline. Both disks are in equally good shape).

Pulled driver fender to re-align door (which has been misaligned since I bought the car 5 years ago....FIVE years of shouldering the sticky door open, and I'm finally fixing it).

Finishing up tomorrow. Fresh gear oil, and up she goes.

[juststarted]

Test fit done, I like where it's sitting. So I finished up the supports and the wiring, now to install dbw and the column then new carpet and the dash. Good day today!

[Insan3Vr6]

Thought I figured out what was wrong with it.

Actually didn't.

[MYGTI_MA]

tested and rewired the dash vent lights.

[A111 OEM]

droped her off at the body shop to have the rear pulled back and hatch aligned should have it by the weekend

Contiplaiting coils or air and looking at wheels. both are very hard choices

[mikeone718]

Joeslow came around and fixed a mindf*ck of a problem that I've had.




It seems that the coil isnt missing a thing.

[MrCypherr]

All mk3's have this shade blade?? Mine doesn´t..!!



I refinished my OEM VW grill badge... I removed the black paint and sand to give a brushed style...

I dont have that D: the jetta mk4 I got has that. my mk3 has no such thing

Yea let me know how they ride maybe they improved quality again because my friend has them on his MK3 Vr Jetta and its bounces way too much all the time. I had inexpensive coils at one point and just got rid of them. The money I payed for my Ultralows was no big deal after I drove my car for a day it was so relaxing and now I look back and see I should have bought them right from the beginning. Best of luck with yours just putting my experience out there for fellow dubbers

I have the race lands on my mk2 and it's not that bad. My seats are pretty comfy so that helps.

[H3LVTCA]

My Cabrio came out of hibernation/storage and the first thing I did was clean the interior as best I could, but then it started raining. I did manage to install my Crown Royal CR red velvet bag shift boot with an OEM shift knob though! It had a raggedy OEM leather shift boot with holes everywhere and a dumb MOMO shift knob...

[A3VRSIX]

over the weekend....

Okay lets be honest, how many people here actually post of things they did today.. not yesterday lol. nothing bad about it just curious.

Today i replaced my window regulator and motor, tried to retro fit the glove box and failed again

[Mr. Yellow]

I bought a wire cover for my rear view mirror to help hide the wire coming from my mirror to my headliner. Defiantly helps clean things up a bit.

[BooglesMcGee]

^^How much of a pain was that mirror to install? I just picked one up, and was wondering if it fits on the stock mount, or did you have to remove the stock mount and put a new one on the windshield?

[mcgillis]

took my roof rack off and put it in the classifieds

I removed the stock mount, but there are adapters available in eBay or Amazon.

Its because everyone elses topic reads "what did you do to your 'MK2' today" lol guess they were being different

[naterkane]

I don't own a Mk3 (never have, never will... sorry)

This is MrMook's car.

Replaced tranny after it lost 5th gear due to a leak last sunday. No pics because a tranny swap is typical and uninteresting. He had a 2Y in there before, so we put something in with a longer 5th. It did however get new pushrod bushing & seal, new TO bearing, and a new thrust plate because his old pushrod bushing was trashed, and the pushrod trashed the thrust plate... locating it off center, bending the pushrod.

He pulled the fender for some reason, and then we found this...


So we pulled the door, and removed the rot. Also found another small hole that needed attention.


Since it's a complicated corner, I made this patch panel.


Test fit went good enough


Mk3 sheet metal must be thinner than the sheet metal on Mk1s and Mk2s... So after burning through a little, i turned things back and threw down some boogers.


Added some filler


Etched and primed


Liberally applied some seam sealer


And painted...


Tomorrow it'll get a few coats of clear and we'll call it "sucking less than it did before"
