Dead deal possible scammer

Dead deal possible scammer

I don’t know! went to look at a mk4 GLI that was "clean title" VIN 3VWSE69M55M075751. It looked to me as if maybe the upper frame rail was hit so I walked on the deal...and he wanted to much money, had no maintenance records and honestly didn’t trust the seller’s character (kept saying stuff like he had the timing belt changed but didn’t have records and it looked old/cracking) & after I drove hours said he got a higher offer and wanted me to pay more.

 

On the hours’ drive home I then looked everywhere with the VIN, sellers’ info and even the previous owner’s info and found this photo somewhere (think jettajunkie but maybe vortex). IDK but made me feel better about that I see on the car with the upper frame rail being tweaked but the photo looked funny to me. Figured I would post up if anyone sees the car to look at the frame rails.

 

Anyway, if anyone is selling/has or knows anyone selling a CLEAN Blue or Gray Mk4 GLI 1.8t let me know I am very interested

New to me 2004.5 GLI

2004***
Just picked up my first mk4, and it’s a huge switch up lol, I was on the mk6 TDI platform for a while. The cars got over 200k on a smooth 2.8 vr6 it and runs like a top, and I want to do a rebuild and revamp the interior (is sorta cooked) do you think it’s worth it?

We designed an engine bay panel cover for the VW MK4 in CAD - and had to make two versions because of the washer tank

Been working on an engine bay panel cover for the MK4 platform - Golf, Jetta, Bora, R32, all of them. Designed it in CAD, made it from 4mm ABS plastic, bolt-on with a bracket included.

Sounds simple, until we realized the MK4 came with two different washer fluid tank sizes depending on the market:

- 3L tank — North American spec (US/Canada)

- 5.5L tank — European spec

The tanks sit in different positions and take up different space, so one panel design doesn't fit both. We ended up modeling two separate versions to make sure the fitment is clean on each.

Works across all MK4 engines - 1.6, 1.8T, TDI, VR6, R32. No cutting, no modifications, just bolts in.

If you're not sure which tank you have — check the size printed on the reservoir itself, or just look at how much space it takes up in the bay. Happy to help figure it out if you drop your market/year in the comments 👇
