Yes exactly, although the lines from the main underfloor pump back to the fuel tank will have to be lengthened to reach up the extra distance to your syncro fuel tank, but everything from the main pump forward is standard G60/Golf GTi digifant hardware AFAIK, I’m sure someone will correct me if I’m wrong.

BTW where in Ireland are you from? What is your golf syncro like, colour? UK spec 5 door?

The tank won’t be of any use, the boot floor is a different shape. You don’t need to change the fuel tank to convert to g60, just add the lift pump(Extend a GTi pump or use rallye lift pump) and main underbody pump, fuel lines and wiring to your existing car. This is what I am doing at the moment.

I bought acoustic foam insulation that goes under timber flooring. I glued them a few layers together until they were 10-12mm thick and cut them to fit, very light and appears to make a difference to road noise

Thanks Housey

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the info. So what clutch can I use for a g60 flywheel and rod change box?? Is my only option a standard syncro clutch?

[conor]

Nice jetta, great to see another one

[conor]

Nothing new for a while I am afraid. I am putting the finishing touches to my ur quattro before I can start this project.

I have the jetta looking very standard at the moment.
I have replaced all the indicators with standard orange lenses and removed the non tinted tail lights for standard rear tails.
I have wound the height back up to a far more subtle drop.
I have put a GTi chin spoiler on it.
I have a blue ultraviolet GTi interior to go in.
I also have a G60 engine for it.
I am on the lookout for a rallye gearbox.

I’ve heard lots of good things about that brand. the thread pattern looks really nice aswell.

[conor]

Looks even better

Very interesting thanks for posting. Although the article says “….sparking fears they may soon arrive in Britain.” How? Are they going to run onto a ferry??

One over here in ireland, still on UK plates (It’s not mine):

Hi there.
All parts not affected by the higher transmission tunnel are the same as a regular five door golf, and of course the rear axle and anything around it!

[conor]

I wonder what he did with the exhaust manifold?

[conor]

that would be a dodgy sensor I reckon.

That’s great news. I’m actually selling my A4 tdi daily and downgrading to a 206 1.4 van so I can keep my syncro and tax it for occasional use!
