ausgolfer 0 Posted March 25, 2013 Hi guys, Bit of a repost, but will prob get a better and quicker answer in this section. Will a passat VR6 be an ok donor car in terms of the: Control arm length, and rear beam width? Or is there any other reason(that anyone can think of) why a passat VR6 WOULDN'T be a suitable donor car when going to VR6? (as opposed to using a mk3 golf VR6 donor) Cheers.

Lufbramatt 0 Posted March 25, 2013 The passat beam is actually narrower than a corrado beam. Strange but true. although converting the rear to 5 stud is just a case of changing the discs. Wishbones and track rods are wider on a passat AFIAK. If you do find a VR6 passat to break (good luck, there's only about 5 left in the UK :-( ) Can I come and scavenge the carcass? There's a few bits I need for my B3. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ausgolfer 0 Posted March 25, 2013 Thanks for that, saves hassle of having to change the rear beam eventually. I'm sure the wider wishbones will only mean better handling ;) If I end up getting the passat I'll let you know. It is a B4 though... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lufbramatt 0 Posted March 25, 2013 90% of a B4 is the same as a B3 :) mine is basically a B4 in a B3 shell! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lufbramatt 0 Posted March 25, 2013 Just seen your other thread, didn't realise you're in australia! oops. might be a bit far to go to strip a passat! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
