interior conversion

[Jetta GTX 16V Syncro]

When doing the Syncro conversion, does the FWD center console from the Mk2 Golf/Jetta fit the new taller tunnel and what about the carpet?

[Chris S]

The 2WD console is to tall & will not fit, the 2WD G60 console will fit though.
The 2WD carpet also will not fit over the transmission tunnel as its to short.

That’s what I suspected on both items. I’m sure I can find a console used but what about the carpet is it possible to get a new one for my Jetta?

[Chris S]

No, the carpet is no longer available new.

However people have been known to slice the carpet along the centerline & either tape or sew a suitable 2 inch(ish) wide strip of similar carpet in, it fits then!

Humm. [] Do you know if all the Syncro carpets are the same, 2 door vs. 4 door? Looks like I’ll have to source a used set.

[Chris S]

Looking in ETKA 2 & 4 door carpets have the same part number, so should be the same.

I will look when I swap mine over from 2 door to 4 door

Okay, thanks for all of your help.

This is the two difference consoles?

[Chris S]

It is!

could always get a carpet made up and fitted, i had mine made up the guy used really deep thick carpet used in porsches

I got a carpet and center console from Germany. Shipping to USA will be expensive.

What is this hole circled in yellow? My car does not have this.

[Chris S]

Its the plastic warm air vents to the rear footwells, they are the flat things in photo on the sides of the propshaft tunnel.

[Jetta GTX 16V Syncro]

I am not sure if my 16V Jetta has those things already but I do not think so. I know the Golf Syncro that I sourced the tunnel does not have them.

[Chris S]

I think that they were only fitted to certain Syncro models & possibly the other high tunnel Golfs.
Part number is 191 819 803 or 803A depending on year
