Syncro Rear Diff Vacuum Line

[Richard James]

Okay someone let me know how the diaphragm works? Does it disconnect the diff as long as the motor is in vacuum?

My car is now Syncro swapped but I have not addressed this yet.

Thanks!

It controls the freewheel lock, so you have 4wd in reverse as well as the forward gears.

Okay thanks! I don’t think I’m going to wire/plumb it in as I’m in the desert and it wouldn’t see snow. My understanding is that it only deals with reverse and slippage.

Thoughts?

[Chris S]

If you get stuck (in the Desert or in sand) & are trying to back out the way you came in (& got stuck) then 4WD in reverse might just be a good thing!

[Richard James]

Haha if I get stuck in the desert here then you should probably take my car from me!

Thanks for the help Chris, I don’t think I’m going to mess with it for now.

Chris, one more question. I’d like rear vr6 control arms but I have only found 1 set on german eBay for 400 euros. Is that a decent price? I know they must be rare.

Yes thats what they cost, btw only the Golf VR6 control arms are wide track the Passat VR6 ones are std track!

[Richard James]

Good to know! Thanks!

Why are the VR6 rear control arms better?

[Housey]

wider track

and thats about it

[Jetta GTX 16V Syncro]

Ohh, okay, I don’t want that.

[Chris S]

They are only 1 cm either side wider as well

What is the factory track, front and rear, of the Mk2 Golf Syncro?
