Seems that it is not longer availble from VW.Solved the problem with no 4wd in reverse, because i moved the vacuum actuator from the Golf syncro rear diff to the Passat rear diff when i changed to the Passat rear diff i also moved the problem.
The rod was still breaking after a couple of rewerse engaging, i took out the vacum actuator but connected it to vacum and electrical connection while i had it in the air with a person in the car engaging disengaging rewerse.
Then i could see thet it was not moving completely to end position at direction off.
disassembled the vacum actuator completely and found out that a white plastic thing inside the membrane housing was broken.
And was blocking the membrane to reach its end position.
I feel this was a sporadic problem because i had checked that the membrane reach its end positions before.
I think the item inside the membrane housing is not in use so i just removed it, i think its some kind of position switch.
And i can tell you that the clunk i heard from the rear diff before was not normal.
Now i can hear a weak clunk that feels more normal and have 4wd in reverse always.
Have uploaded photos to photobucket for those who intrested looking.
It was the left white plastic thing in this picture who was blocking.

Seems that it is not longer availble from VW.Bringing this thread up again.
I had no 4wd in revers either.
My problems is not like mentioned in this thread.Bought a Passat GT G60 syncro last winter, it had no 4wd in rewers.
Problem was the plastic selector shaft engaging the freewheel lock had broken,the eye was gone.
I thougt this was not very fishy because this tiny little plastic shaft engaging this every time its put in reverse.Bought a Golf mk2 syncro, it had no 4wd in reverse, problem was first the plastic expanding pin securing the selector shaft to the lever was gone (noticed on this car that the eye on the selector shaft was much thicker/stronger than the new i got from VW).
Second problem here was that the rubber grommet on the vacuum control element was broken.Replaced the vacuum control element with the one from the passat and fittet an new selector rod and expanding pin.
Then i had 4wd in reverse 2 times and then no more, there was a significant clunck from the rear diff second time i engaged reverse.
Took out vacuum control element again just to find out that eye on selector rod had snapped off.
Then there must be some mechanical fault inside the diff i thought.
Took out the diff an replaced with the one from the passat (this have been opened and inspected) fittet new selector rod and fitted the vacuum control element.
So for now i have 4WD in reverse.
But i dont like the sound when backing and turning steering wheel the clunk from the rear diff is significant.Opened up the diff i tok out and inspected but cannot see any clear faults.
Have noticed that if i am moving the gearselector in reverse and pressing a little ekstra the reverse light goes off.
This maybe confuse the ecu to engage disengage to often so the selector rod gets strain its not made for.So my question is if any one else had this selector rod snapping?
I contacted them an got an quick answere, but I think they would like to sell all kits together.(about 100 kits)
Because when i reply with saying I only wanted 2 kits, i did not hear from them again.Hello
