Yes its not as tall, one here btw
For various reasons Derrik is not on line as often as he would like to be & so cant check his emails on a regular basis.
I was speaking to him last weekend & I can tell you that due to personal reasons as yet he has not been able to swap the diff out for the original one,
If you need a spare rear diff? I think I have one here you can ‘borrow’ or did you already have one from me?
Next month Derrik is coming here to visit me in Emmeloord for a week end, so hopefully he can bring it with him.
Why didn’t I think of that?
btw This page has to be worth a look.

Originally posted by re2i too have been thinking along the 1.9 tdi route for a while. Luckily by transfer box is ok. Wouldnt it be easier to get a transfer box and then just swap the engine. I even contemplated the 1.6td as its quite a tunable engine but its a wee thing and i bet the 1.9 is more tourqey
The only problem with using the original gearbox is that the final drive ratio is 20 to 25% to short, then you get higher revs at lower speeds even in 5th gear,
So you need to swap the diff over for the 2wd Diesel diff, which as its the first thing fitted into the gearbox casing makes it very expensive to change,
I know how long it takes cos I have rebuilt Syncro gearboxes a few times.btw Apart from the differential the 020 Syncro box already has the Diesel gearing!
Member jimtdi over here in the Netherlands is also doing a Diesel conversion on his 1986 Golf 2 Syncro.
Does the propshaft fit? Probably but it is a 2 piece rather than a 3 piece prop
Is the loom a plug and play job? Its VW so if its not plug N play then it shouldn’t be far short
Is the ABS system the same as the Mk2 one? No, the 93 model has mk4 ABS & the 94 on has the mk 20 system, but it should work in the Golf 2 as the wheel sensors & rotors are the same
Is the A/C compatible with a Mk2 one (if I can find the cabin parts)? Dont know for sure, but it should work
Does anyone know what rear brakes the Mk3 Syncro has? Drums the same as the G2 Syncro, however the Golf 3 rear swing arms(Triangles) do not have the mounting lugs for the caliper carriers!
Chris, would your local scrap yard have something similar lying around? Sorry no
I have just ordered 2 of these from the dealer 2D0 411 041B they are 23mm diameter to fit a 25mm bar will post photo early next week when they have arrived.
btw They are from the 25mm front roll bar on the 1997 to 2007 LT 28, 35, & 46 [
]you should be able to get a pair from your VW dealer for less than a fiver or so [
