5 Things You Probably Didn't Know About The Golf MK4

[@ichewtoast111]

the light adjustment dial on the left side of the steering wheel can be removed without tools, just push the button in and rotate and then pull.

Nice vid 👍 just traded in my 2001 GT Tdi 130 silver 4 door this morning.... had it 10 years, amazing car, only one breakdown when the 1st & 2nd gear selector snapped 👍 still have my 1.8t though, love mk4s 🙂

[@rickydub6950]

@Mikel Gates rust is a big factor these days, sills and rear arches, front wings are easily changed. Check interior carpets and boot are dry as there are a lot of leak prone areas, mainly window regulator to door seals. I'd recommend a 1.8t or gt tdi 130/150. Lots of Service history for both the petrol & diesel turbo engine is essential in my opinion. Walkaway from any smoke out the back of a petrol, especially when hot. Diesel shouldn't smoke like an old train.... look at a few cars, the level of trim and maintenance will vary greatly. £2500 should see a good one. Good luck 🍀😁

[@benjaminsmith5342]

I think less people know about the motion sensor disable button, and that you are supposed to clean the sunroof drains out, they live in the front door pillars, also the mirrors are heated, there is also a lot more stuff that you missed lol 😆

[@armoule8596]

And the seal inside of the doors going bad causing humidity to creep in the car, and the old plastic clips everywhere (super convenient to dismantle the interior but breaks easily) (Yes i have one and i love it)

[@benjaminsmith5342]

@Armoule lol I've had too many to count, lmao 🤣 I think I'm on number 30 or something like that lol 😆 this one is completely custom though 😅

[@knwgt5426]

Cutting the end of the grommets in the doors and in boot (VWs official million euro fix lol) for the sunroof should stop any future blockages from the drains…I’ve purchased 2 mk4s and both cars sunroof drains wasn’t even connected to the grommets so also worth checking , easy fix with a steel core washing line run through and out the door 👌🏻

[@benjaminsmith5342]

@Knwgt local shop to me sells a really long brush that fits perfect in the drains for the sunroof lol 😆

[@AndyGogo]

on the third tip, that is not a sun visor, its to stop the cabin light from reflecting on the rear view mirror if you choose to have it on

[@louvendran7273]

The moment I heard your accent I was ripped plus the ND registration. So many memories. Only after buying an NZ version of the Mk4 did I realise the difference between immob 2 & 3. South Africa actually specc'd them well. Only schlep is ZA did not get the mk4 VR6 24V nor the R32 only the VR5 on the Jetta. Greetings from Auckland & you have a sweet ride btw.

[@sathir-5990]

Thanks for the tips. I had 2 MK4s but never noticed the sun cover .The last tip works on MK3s too.

[@wed3k]

And also my 90 corrado

[@SandyBanwait]

Didn't know about the rear cup holder, all others I know and I love that little sun visor. I have a 3 door Golf

[@efoefo6479]

The best car ever, it is still modern and strong car..

[@vavra222]

Agreed, altough im about to sell mine, i enjoyed it. Just a regular old beater with many problems, but it never left me stranded and never was too pricey to fix. And for a small car, it can move so much shit lol, my friend and i both have a mk4 and when he was moving, we did several trips stuffed to the brim, except for the largest furniture, he moved thanks to this car.

[@BigBearBjorna]

Haha, i thought my car had electrical issues when all the windows opened. Never heard of such unique a feature on a car.

[@mzwandilesiphesihle]

Really awesome hey😊😅

[@RICHYSUNCLE]

1:57 my rear left window doesn’t work either 😂

[@jamesmaxx]

For the auto windows part, if you close the windows with your key and stay in that position for couple more seconds it will close your sunroof. I have the same car (US version) but no power mirrors.

[@cosmin1518]

Some nice "quirks and features" my friend

[@muhammadzakariyya6863]

Your accent kept me going. I love Vw's btw

[@HAMBURGURL]

I did not know about the window feature, thank you.

[@darkpit1303]

Sagging roofliner is peak Golf IV lmao

[@vavra222]

I consider myself lucky then, bought my golf already heavily used and beat up, but the liner was mint somehow, despite it being a dog car judging from the scratches and bites on everything plastic.

[@telosfd]

I didnt knew mirrors trick. Thanks. Chasi decorative trimmer door side falls down I use two side sticker but didn't glue up. Any solution?

[@SickMoover]

I like that your rear window doesnt work either

[@kkaaas7159]

idk if that helps cause the video is from 2 yrs ago but i saw your left rear window didnt open try banging the door really hard most of the time the window is just stuck and you banging the door will fix it but first listen if the signal reaches the window when you try to open it and hear a little "clack" or something like that it is most likely stuck

[@djloafers]

The little visor is to stop glare on the rear view mirror from the internal lights

[@benjaminsmith5342]

It definitely isn't lmao 🤣

[@benjaminsmith5342]

Most cars have the bit on the end of the sun visor so when it's folded down there is a bit the covers the bit of window above the rear view mirror but the mk4 doesn't have on so they had to fit a separate sunvisor for above the rear view mirror 😉

[@djloafers]

You should read the manual before you post nonsense on here

[@benjaminsmith5342]

@djloafers hahaha read the manual, I basically know it at this point lmao 🤣 I've been working on these for 10 years or more now lmao 🤣 they are fitted with anti glare mirrors from the factory maybe practice what you preach

[@SIRXNZ]

The window trick is cool just tried it on a polo

[@ss1271]

I have the mk4 with the same car key. Just curious, if you put it into the door lock and hold on to the "unlock" position, will it also open the sun/moon roof as well?

[@servantmichael2514]

I know it closes the sunroof but I haven't tried opening it

[@sirmyke_enterprise]

Wow didn't know about the sliding mirror back and the returning the glass back up

[@fantafrags6973]

Folding mirrors?! I need to upgrade mine to this.

[@johnhoffman3644]

[@88benm]

I've owned my VW Bora for 14years and never noticed the sun visor by the mirror! I'm shocked! 🤣🤣

[@MaqsVids]

Man!!! I definitely didn't know about the windows. But, unfortunately, mine does have automatic windows.

[@jessicaemaldridge8478]

You can still do it

[@axe2grind244]

MK4’s should be 2 door, 6 speed, LHD, have a switchblade key fob and sound like Chewbacca.

[@tinaoakes8282]

Hey. We have this same key fob.. Does the button work with central locking? Locking and unlocking? Cheers for the windows tips.. Didn't know any of this.

[@nelsonpinhal]

No, that button is a small light bulb to help you unlock your car in the dark... look right next to the key blade...

[@dojufitz]

I have a 2014 VW Golf Mk 4 radio - I can't work it out for the life of me. There are no youtube vids on resetting it. If you can make a vid that would be great.

[@sargeatlarge24v]

I just learned all of this and had to test it 😂 the sunroof in my car opens with the windows

[@JOSTIE23]

[@rossyeoman717]

Hi my windows came down automatically when my mum was beside it yesterday afternoon and early this morning and hasnt done it since. What could it of been?

[@huseyinsen6298]

Hello, I have the mirrors folding feature with the module from the remote control, but I could not fold with the button from the inside, can you help me?

[@letstorquespeed]

The Button on the inside has to show the folding mirror icon or it would not work

[@gergoilles-nemeth9021]

The only thing that I didn't know until then, was that not all of the golf 4s got the same key, mine has a switchblade style key integrated into the body with a remote unlock/lock buttons. I really tought that all golf 4s came with this key because its really easy to get replacement parts for it. Maybe because I have a Golf 4 Varinat.

[@oilybrakes]

I have a 3-door '98 golf mk4 that has central locking but no remote lock/unlock. That being said, since I do have central locking, I just bought a chinese remote unlock/lock receiver kit and have soldered it to the micro switches (well, the cables that go to the switches) of the lock, which are being pressed when you turn the key in the lock and give the signal to unlock/lock all doors. So I have the same key as you because of that 15$ upgrade😁

[@akesh2571]

Nice tips.

[@louvendran7273]

Get a set from a wrecked B5 Passat. It will be much cheaper at a Pick-a-Part.

[@superleggera1900]

Wish my R32 had folding mirrors, that would be dope. USA spec R's got a lot less equipment than euro, yet our cars weighed more!

There is a centre consol with cup holders it's the us spec

[@MrTheHillfolk]

​@@benjaminsmith5342 there is a little bit of a scene tax on them though, as I haven't seen any that are much under 100$.

Best way to repair a VW is to replace it with a Toyota.
