Home!Forgot to mention. It has this fitted
Is this cruise control???
If it is how does it work on this engine
the cruise control was an aftermarket add on as far as ive seen. Maybe it was also available through VW themselves, but the only place Ive seen pics is the GTI Eng brochure
That’s what I thought. I’ve never seen it on a car before. I’ll need to figure out how it works before I take the engine out.
This is the new engine I will be putting in the syncro. I’d like to move the clocks and MFA across. I hope this is not going to be to much work!!!
The hard work is about to start. My MK3 GTi donor car is up on axle stands and is almost time to strip the Syncro. I’m going for a MK3 EFI 2E engine swap. Is there anything I should watch out for? Do I need to change the fuel pump and fuel lines? Can I use the MK3 clocks and will they fit in to the MK2 dash of am I going to have to swap the dash aswell?
With regard to the Cruise Control, I’ve been Googling it and it appears it was an option on the US vehicles, being available on the Golf (Rabbit), Jetta, Fox and I believe the Passat. The controls are in English as opposed to your German versions, otherwise it looks identical.

Hello again. I’ve been gone a long time. My syncro has sat in storage for the last 3 years
I’ve been playing with lots of MK2’s since but now it’s time to get my syncro on the road. I’ve learnt a lot over the last 3 years. My plans have changed since thinking about putting a 2.0 8v in it. I’ve got myself a complete 1.9 TDi passat so I’m going the TDi route. Fitting the engine isn’t going to be an issue but there’s a couple of things for me to work through.
The fuel tank – can I change the filler neck and what do I do about the in tank sender?
&
The gear box – Can I fit the transfer box on to the passat gear box?Glad to be back
The fuel tank – can I change the filler neck and what do I do about the in tank sender? No you cant change the neck as the other G2 tanks were 1 piece, what do you need to do with the in tank sender??
The gear box – Can I fit the transfer box on to the passat gear box? No you need to fit 1 of these
