WTB MK3 syncro exhaust manifold

[greengoblin]

I would like to see how much ONE manifold would cost shipped to NY Postal code 11714

I have a Basic MK3 syncro 8v manifold with the square flange downpipe..

I assume that your car has the 1.8 engine, which then would have an exhaust manifold with Part # 051 253 031N. This manifold is common to all Mk3 Golf/jettas with the 1.8 engine. It isn’t syncro specific, and you can get a new one through http://www.worldimpex.com in the US for $213.15 usd.

Good call Les, it is listed for the 2 Wheel Drive ABS, ADZ & ANP code motors and probably more as well, and unlike the Golf 2 manifold it isnt Syncro specific, lucky you! []

Thanks for the help, I believe I had the ALE engine code. But it looks like I may just end up making the adapter from the ABA manifold to the downpipe.. whoray Oxy-GAS, no biggie.

ALE code is a TDI. Was your syncro originally a TDI powered model?

Not to my knowledge, It was and still is a petrol sucker… I called World Impex,Inc. to do a search and we went by the vin # and was told it was a ALE, and the manifold was 400 bucks.. I was just curious to see how hard it was going to be .. No biggie, I just got done welding some flanges up,(7018 best rod) and plan to use a turbo manifold and just make an downpipe..
I have to drive soon !!!

Excuse me for posting and not checking out my syncro, I could change the downpipe along with a matching 8v manifold. As long as I can clear the transfer box , I should be good. If not, I have to plan on fabing a downpipe..

BTW thanx to Chris S for the photos on what blocks are syncro ready, very helpful…
