Sorry to jump in on your thread but wolfyvr6 I am after the same set up you have just got in from Germany. I was thinking of buying a complete mk3vr6syncro so I had all the bits and swap it into the mk2. Did you get all the bits you needed from the guy and know the history of the running gear?

Does anyone know if parts can be transfered from this car?

Thanks vr6will, I am going to try and source a complete car as I think this will save money in the long run. It’s all the bits and pieces that start to ad up.

Should I be looking for a particular year ie are the later passats compatible?

Hi Chris, Thanks for the reply,
Would I be better off with a VR6 passat syncro if I could find one and use the bits from that. I am trying to make it as easy as possible to locate all the bits in one find and passats generally have an easier life.
I don’t suppose you have heard of a gearbox code (ayo), I cant find any reference to it.
Your advice is much appreciated

nutter this is getting out of hand. Will the passat rear diff drop in to the mk2. Have you done this conversion by any chance?
Out of interest if I got hold of a vr6 passat syncro would the parts be compatible?

Oh no just seen a passat W8 and that would do very nicely. Does anyone know if this has been done before?

Another quick point I am still open to a vr6 conversion would this box be easier to get hold of?

Is this box compatible,

Thanks for the replies, the mist is starting to clear!!

Does anyone have one of these boxes or know of one going, other than Chris that is? If you change your mind Chris let me know.
From reading the site, you must have some good toys in your shed.

As for the exhaust Diamond my plan was to get the major part of the work done and then hand it over to somebody like Storm to custom build it and set up the mapping.

I am also thinking of picking up a cheep 4 door 16v donor. It looks like it would be cheeper than buying all the bits,ie rear disc conversion, master cylinder, recaro interior etc.

Just read the brake conversion with photo’s how good is that. Just need someone to do it on the 20vt!
