The VR6 anti roll bar will fit the Golf2 Syncro, but its only 18.5mm diameter (same as the standard G2 Syncro one) the Rallye/Passat bar is 20mm diameter.
P/N 027 253 031AB – Unfortunately dropped without replacement by VW in April 2007.
Just out of interest, what actually is the difference between this & the Golf/Corrado 16v manifold?
While the Golf 3 brackets will readily bolt onto the Golf2 underbody (all mounting holes line up) they have been designed to fit the Golf3 floorpaan & have a different shape at the front. I will try & take photos tomorrow (if the weather is fit)
Why? as its the trailing arms that give the 20mm track increase, but if you want to you can run the set up you suggest.
all you need to do is swap out the VR6 differential (complete) and fit the 4 cylinder diff
The side mounting brackets are where the axle carrier bolts onto the floorpan in front of the rear wheels, 1 upper & lower per side.
i found a passat g60 syncro complete one. Its the same as your Golf but with thicker side bearings
and a mk3 vr6 syncro one, Wide track, this is the one you want to use including the trailing arms, as this is where the track increase is! also every thing is newer than your G2 rear axle , but you will need the VR6 Syncro side brackets as it uses larger bushes,
Yes, to the angle drive, the early Rallye Golf cast iron (ASU) transfer boxes were self contained with only a 1/2 liter of oil.
You can work out your revs/speed here http://www.scirocco.org/gears/
I am going to be running
my new gearbox will have an late ASU casing (with oilways) a late ASU cast iron transfer box, with VR6 gears & final drive (3.38 to 1)
Theoretically with 195/50 15 inch tyres this will give a top speed in 5th gear (.84 to 1) of 248 KPH or 154 MPH at 6500 rpm,
at 100kph the engine will be turning over at 2615 rpm
Providing of course that the engine produces enough power to achieve this
Just wait till you put the GTI head on, it will really wake up then!
btw that is a very tidy looking car. [
]It might be the relay, P/N 191 957 917A
This is in position 18 on the relay box up to 1989
& in position 15 from 89/90 onor it could be the power in to the gearbox reverse switch.
