]Happy Birthday to us! We are 10 years old (on line) Today,
I dread to think the number of people worldwide who would have scrapped their Syncro if we had not have been here to help,
This might sound silly, but apart from family, commitments etc, I consider this site to be one of the better things I have done with my life & yes I am very proud of it & us all!
This site was started when someone (LD50) in England could not find a Golf 2 Syncro rod change gearbox, they went on VW Vortex & my name cropped up when jman in America suggested that he might be better looking in Europe rather than America & said to contact me,
At that time I had only just bought my first G2 Syncro & what a disaster that was!
if it could leak out of somewhere then it leaked, the cooling water leaked, the washer water leaked, the power steering fluid leaked, the engine oil leaked, the gearbox oil leaked & even the transfer box & rear diff were showing signs of weeping!
at that time I could have bought a same year comparable 2WD 140 bhp 16 valver for about 2/3rds of the price of this,
& I was on a big big learning curve, as almost nothing I knew about the Golf 2 was applicable to the Syncro,
when I was contacted from the UK via Vortex about a gearbox, long story short yes, I could find one & ld50 came over with his father to collect it,
it was then suggested that ‘WE’ set the site up as there was very little to no knowledge over golf Syncro models anywhere.
Hopefully we have managed to change that?
