What do you need? as lhd parts are more available over here than in the UK

[Chris S]

Due to the design of the Syncro rear suspension, you will get excessive neggy camber when you lower it to much,

this may help.

Looking at the drawing again I think that part nr 17 should do the same job on the original cam cover.

[Chris S]

I had a supersprint backbox fitted to my original Syncro, it fitted ok but was a bit to noisy for me.

It did make a nice growly sound though. []

[Chris S]

Yes but I didnt know which front exhaust you were using, as both will fit the G60 head

So the first 4 will fit but you need a Rallye Golf underfloor fuel pump set up, or an in tank pressure pump!
the appropiate heatshields would probably be a good idea as well

btw I have a rear diff here if you would like me to see if the drive flanges are grooved?
the diff gears are missing a couple of teeth so you can have just the flanges if you like?

True, for the others you need the Passat Syncro Manifold, Downpipe & Cat, did you not save them off the Passat you bought?

[Chris S]

I think that possibly the ring is part of the bushing!

[Chris S]

That should work on the oil seals

here are some exhaust systems

or a std set, which probably isn’t as restrictive as you think it is

Kev, Are they front or rear shokkers?

[Chris S]

Having finally seen what system you have I would suggest that you have a look at part nr 9 (pressure relief valve) this may help to solve your problem

[Chris S]

What ARB i have to use with a mk2 rear axle with mk3 wide track trailing arms?

The same as you have now, or even better a Passat/Rallye one.

is the CV joint in the rear hub the same between vr6 syncro and mk2 syncro?

the VR6 Syncro has 5 stud hubs, I swapped them out for G2 4 stud ones

[Chris S]

Is the mounting point of the rear shocks in the same place on the arm between mk2 and mk3 wide track arms?

Yes it is

[Chris S]

Only the GOLF 3 VR6 is widetrack, the Golf 3 1.8 Syncro trailing arms don’t even have the mounting lugs for the disc brake caliper carriers.

The Passat G60 & 2.0l Syncro has a rear track of 1420mm, while the Golf 3 VR6 is 1481 wide at the back!
