MemberYou mention putting the ABS unit under the seat. I thought they were mounted in the boot on the back panel! Or is that the 2WD versions?
January 10, 2010 at 1:21 pm #6706Chris S
ModeratorIts when you are using the Passat Syncro ABS/EDL master cylinder & wiring loom, or you could extend all the cables and fit the computer in its original place in the back panel.

Participantwell, havn’t been many picture updates for a while, but, heres a few pics. rather boring tho, but the engine is atleast IN now

Participantso thats how its fitted, damn, that looked like a hard bracket to replicate
well, some flat 2mm steel might work aswell

Participantwell, its getting somewhere now.. have to manipulate some of the wiring, shorten it a few places, and lengthen it at some other places

ParticipantDAMN
i just broke the vakuum unit on the rear of the speedometer
CRAPJanuary 26, 2010 at 8:50 pm #6762Chris S
ModeratorHow broken? cos its a special one for the G-lader motor, I hope you saved the speedo from the Passat as it has the same vacuum sensor,
btw these are no longer available from VW and used to cost over 150 eu when they were last listed. [xx(]
January 27, 2010 at 2:18 pm #6763Housey
Participantits way broken
no possible way to fix either, glue wont stick to it 
i got the passat speedo. and a Corrado G60 speedo, so those might work
