jonny-5 0 Posted April 5, 2007 Pretty sure it'll be carb, my mate had a '91 golf syncro and that was. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bristolbaron 10 Posted April 6, 2007 would agree carb, same engine as golf driver is my bet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RADO.001 0 Posted April 6, 2007 yea thought so, anyone know anything else about them or ever driven one? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy665 0 Posted April 6, 2007 Very very rare, I think less than 100 sold in the UK, another VW oddity but none the worse for it, buy it, keep it looking standard and drop a G60 in it - real Q car Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonny-5 0 Posted April 6, 2007 My mates golf was excatly the same as a driver, only four-wheel drive. They don't seem to go for that much when you consider how rare they are. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RADO.001 0 Posted April 6, 2007 im likin the g60 idea, wouldnt i need rally drivshafts & would the stanard box go? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rado-steve 0 Posted April 6, 2007 Aye Best to upgrade to Rallye Running Gear if you plan to Upgrade the motor! Synchro driveshafts are like twigs when compared to rallye ones! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
