    Dont worry it will snow again this winter especially at your latitude, and believe me when the car is ready it will put an enormous smile on your face, it is so worth it as with proper tyres on they are awesome in snow! [:p]

    anyone know what kind of alloy the tranny is made of?

    looks to me like there have been a axle that have run loose once and cracked the housing of the tranny

    it looks to have been repaired with chemical metal (expoxy based). soft to the touch..

    hopefully its weldable :)

    Any 02A gear casing will fit the 02C bellhousing, If you cant find one there I have a used one here that you can have for the cost if the postage.

    i don’t feel like changing the cases :) too much work. and i’m not very experienced with transmissions :)

    i’ve had almost a dozen golfs, have rebuild engines, but no trannys yet :P

    Re-weld or re-epoxy it then, make sure the epoxy putty is well mixed and the metal surface is totally grease free and you should have no problems, If you need any help shout!

    thats why i’m asking what alloy the housing is made of. its not plain aluminum?

    I would suggest that it is possibly a magnesium alloy somewhat similar to an “ally” wheel, but I dont really know! [:(]

    started on the brakes yesterday :) going from 239mm to 280mm. not too much in numbers, but those discs are way bigger in person :p

    should be an easy swap too

    You may need to swap the lower ball joint/swivels for the Passat ones, they are supposed to be the same from 1989 on but you never know what has been changed or modified in the 20 years or so since your car left Wolfsburg.

    or if you are going wide track you can swap the complete triangles over. [:)]

    no widetrack :)

    and i’ve reused the lower balljoint from the passat, clips right in. no problems at all :)
