[@francesucksdickful]

Mate, without people like you to guide me I would spend hours more on simple tasks like this. Much appreciated, Cheers!

[@conorf8091]

Every time I got a problem with the mk4 I search ur channel bro. No waffling and to the point, cheers. Window fell off the regulator ..

[@666heresy]

Same here as others, every time I google something for my mk4 I usually find your vids. There are others, but you always make it easy to understand. This one and the headliner vid especially simplify the thing, top man, thanks for your efforts in sharing these videos!

[@BMACVAGS]

Thank you for your kind words

[@ethanjacobs4429]

Thanks for this video. If it wasn't for you I would of sat here for 4 hours figuring out nothing. It works thanks

[@ghent96]

thanks for posting this vid. It helped me remove my driver's door on my 2003 jetta Wolfsburg and staple the cloth covering back in place. I'm very mad at Volkswagen for using plastic melt rivets on the backside of the door insert where the cloth trim was. Also, the foam behind the cloth degrades over time as is a sticky mess.

[@tysonisrael2103]

Defo the best at make the viewer understand exactly what to do With zero waffling ⚡️

[@marzocchi705]

These videos are ace. I have a Mk1 vRS thats a bit ropey, your tutorials are helping me get it back to a safe condition. Thanks for that, its the little things that unless you see it being done I wouldn't really know where to start.

[@marklindstrom433]

Super useful video! The handle bit (the part you first removed) just broke off recently when I was getting in my car. This video demonstrates exactly what I need to do to remove the rest of it and replace it.

[@BMACVAGS]

Glad it helped!

[@chavez32487]

This helped except for figuring out how to disconnect the wiring. Great video, thanks.

[@RichyJ71]

Superb stuff - nice and clear. Seems like every time I search for how to do something on a Mk4, your vids come up!! Top man - thanks!

[@joaocasanovas5312]

Thanks very much for your trouble in posting the video. It saves us chaps a lot of time figuring out how to do it. As soon as I am in mood I will try to sort out what is the problem with the electric door locks in my Mk4 TDi Estate. Cheers, JC

[@christopherbate6248]

Love this channel still got my mk4 bora tdi 130 from back in the day just put a new clutch flywheel on it seems to pull better than ever. 480k still going strong fixed a leaky tandem pump too last year that had been letting a few drops a month go meant to do it ages ago been like that for 10+ years ! Never have worked out why it smokes a bit from start up on cold days . New battery seemed to help ? changed glow plugs still the same ? Maybe some oil in the intercooler its never been drained ? Only time its ever broken down was when the clutch pedal weld broke ( been beefed up now ) coolant pipe at back of engine split due to the diesel leak cut the end off to get me going ( them vw spring clips are murder cost me half a nipple when it pinged taking it of lol ) new pipe now told by vw last of them had to order from spain . Release more vids easy get 1 million subs ; )

[@BMACVAGS]

Thank you for your kind words! We're glad to hear that you're enjoying our channel. It's impressive that your MK4 Bora TDI 130 is still going strong with 480k on the clock! It's great to hear that you've been able to fix some of the issues that have cropped up, like the leaky tandem pump and clutch flywheel. As for the smoking on cold days, there could be a few potential causes. It's possible that there's some oil in the intercooler, which could be contributing to the smoking. Another possibility is that the engine is running rich on start-up, which could be due to a faulty temperature sensor or injector. It's also worth checking the turbo for any signs of wear or damage. In any case, it's always a good idea to address any smoking or unusual engine behavior to prevent potential issues down the road. Thanks for the suggestion to release more videos! We'll certainly keep it in mind as we continue to create new content.

[@19may0001]

+BMAC VAGS you had the fuse box opened, do you remove a fuse before doing this or do u need to remove any fuse ?

[@juuldewin3]

no there is no need, electrical component ur taking loose is: the window controlls, just a plug. or just keep the car off contact.

[@BMACVAGS]

Thank You for your comments

My pleasure!

[@partybiscuit]

Thank you.

[@BMACVAGS]

Not yet, but I will put it on my to do list.

[@amelialuxrothschild6285]

xoxoxox best tutorials. my mk4 can't thank you enough ;P

[@majicari]

Hi - Do you have any tips on removing the inner door panel? I have removed all 10 bolts but it still feels like the panel is secured to the door??? Thanks

[@RogerDDog]

Would have been useful to see what the inside of the door looked like for a few seconds.

[@donnarawiri]

Yes indeed

[@junktime6076]

couldve just froze the screen guys , stop being karens.....

[@PaulKHeld]

@@junktime6076 There is no full clear frame of this view. I also needed to take a look if this is sufficient for me or do I need to go deeper

[@johnmartinez7440]

@@junktime6076 Half the door is obscured at the end though. It's also only 480p so hardly easily visible. It's a very useful video but cut off a few second too soon I think.

[@maurice_mores]

Thank you

[@danieldurham183]

Thanks !!

[@gaborherman1481]

Thank you. I really thought the door card was two separate sections. Even the Bentley manual made it seem so. This all must be removed to replace the mirror.

[@alistairmunn9519]

Definitely worth watching this video 👌 It's really helpful 👍👍

[@BMACVAGS]

Glad you think so!

[@ptroyer30th]

thanks for vids bro really help me a lot

[@mattbolton2959]

maaaaaaaad video mate

[@hanksmith4065]

You made it look so easy. What about the switch connectors and the door lock cable wire connectors. ☺️ Because of your how to videos I’ve been able to fix many things on my 2003 Jetta. BIG T Y

[@elbowtoe84]

I love this intro

[@ziggykhann]

Nice thanks for helping out very useful

[@BMACVAGS]

no problem

[@BMACVAGS]

As soon as I get one in stock I will make a video for it.

[@MrBenjimanT]

Yoir vids are a godsend mate. I have taken my driver door card off to disconnect tue blown tweeter. When back on the handle pull has become very loose and only opens when fully pulled. Have i pulled the release cable from a clip or runner?

[@fazenc9349]

Any chance doing a video on repair back door leaking door seals ? Please

[@oter6678]

I like this video very yes

[@markphillips4589]

Thanks for making the video my window glass fell down its now back in place.

[@BMACVAGS]

Good to hear

[@adrianrainbow4106]

Thanks though mate.

[@BMACVAGS]

if you watch my door lock module video you will see it there. I hope that helps

[@emorina7515]

Thanks

[@ThaSwitcherTayTay]

I'm assuming this will work for the MK4 Jetta/Bora too? Also could I use this to fix my door that won't open from the inside? I'm guessing that theres a cable or something loose?

[@Kalavere]

I have now. ;-) That'd be greatly appreciated, thank you. =)

[@IulianGilca]

Looking at your video to see where the extra screw I got left goes to but no luck. It's exactly like the 3 torx screws at the bottom!

[@skate69641]

Can you do a video on aftermarket speaker installation?

[@MaxFrPek]

Thanks a lot

[@BMACVAGS]

Most welcome

[@BMACVAGS]

What side is the motor on??

[@csabatoth5859]

Nice videos. If you have time , please post a video about how to mount electric windows on the golf mk4 , I have manual ones and I want to put electric ones without paying the huge pill.Thank you

[@peterrodriguez470]

Awesome thanks boss

[@BMACVAGS]

no problem

[@881114Gugu]

Dude you cool. Ur videos really help. Now if I can just stop my golf mk4 2001 1.6 to stop with the handbrake sign and noise when the car is in motion. Help

[@simonbealing]

Thankyou

[@ludovicofraschetti2480]

@BMAC VAGS Heya good sir! I have recently had trouble with my golf's speakers, and decided to research a bit, and I have to say by far your videos are the most helpful. I know iy might be already late af, but could you maybe help me out with a speaker change?

[@callumjack100]

Hi--very useful as my Mk4 Golf has the infamous wet driver side footwell issue ! ..Im told online this can be caused by a seal failure on the inner metal door panel liner--have you got a video that shows that bit..ie the bit after this video ?--thx again

[@BMACVAGS]

Once you have removed the inner handle, just try to slide a flat screwdriver around the edges to ease it up. Let me know how you get on....Good Luck

[@NosferatusLair]

i got it, thanks :)

[@dodgethat3652]

Hello mate i was gonna ask you is there any possible way of removing interior open handle bar not the handle bar with the electronics but the one with the mirror comtrol button without removing the whole panel because yhe handle seems loose and its annoying when i play music its just vibrates crazy

[@nickblake2352]

Hi, do you have a video on how to change the lock/barrel assembly as I need to change the paddle. I need to do this for the drivers door, and the rear right side door Thanks

[@MrDude9804]

Hey man, is it possible to remove the cloth panel only or would I have to replace the entire door panel? Cheers!!
