Yes it is completely different!
This was actually for the camshafts, there is already a company in europe making a Syncro spaghetti exhaust manifold/downpipe
It has been done in the past and did fit, but how about this http://www.vwsyncro.co.uk/data/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2673
Please take note, depending on the model year of your car & the year that the ‘new’ rear diff was manufactured, you may have to swap over the viscous coupling from your old rear diff.
Please take note, depending on the model year of your car & the year that the ‘new’ gearbox was manufactured, you may have to swap the front wheel drive flanges & the propshaft drive flange over from your old gearbox.
Unbelievable! I wonder where he got his degree in structural engineering, off a Cornflakes packet possibly?
Said Cornflakes packet will have probably more structural integrity than his supposed Syncro pick up! [:0]
Sorry Mikes, but I just checked in ETKA & the Scirocco shocks P/N 171 513 033P or P/N 171 513 033R are also listed for a Golf 1
& strangely enough for a 1979 to 1984 Jetta Syncro?but as we all know the Syncro models did not come out till 1986 with the Golf/Jetta 2 platform!

Mine is the carb model. I might have to wait for warmer temperatures before I have a look under the wing. Is the non return valve easy to see?
By the way, bent U nederlands of engels?Here is the diagram for the carb model vacuum line routing
The non return valve is the black/white fitting on the black vacuum pipe just after where it comes of the inlet manifold, top left (ish)
There is a second non return valve in the green pipe on the bulkhead under the bonnet, (which btw is actually green on the car as well)
Not really as this happens, its caused by the tyre rubbing on the spring perch when cornering.
Also the Golf 1 shocks are not stiff enough to damp the extra weight of the Golf 2 Syncro rear end, I fitted a spacer ring to stop the rubbing, but the Golf 1 shocks are not up to the job.
Golf 1 on the left, G2 Syncro on the right, notice the spring perch hight difference.
Depending which front brakes the GTI has? it may be worth swapping them over to your Syncro.

As for the in tank lift pump, you can adapt the GTI one to fit the (deeper) Syncro tank,
you can also use the GTI in line pump as it is the same part as fitted to the 98 BHP Syncro GT
