JasonSanders 0 Posted February 3, 2004 Right can i use a golf/jetta awd system with a tuned g60 or do i need the rallye bits? Will the "standard" syncro stuff just fall apart? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

biggerbigben 0 Posted February 4, 2004 You can use standard golf syncro bits with a tuned g60 lump, that would be fine. The syncro rear axle is the same as the rallye. A mate of mine has run the golf syncro bits on his mk2 for about 1 year now with 350bhp and he has had no problems apart from the gearbox is on its way out, but then the rallye/passat g60 ones are crap as well. I'm going to have a spare gearbox in the garage at home, just in case. If you need to read up on what you can or can't do have a look at http://www.vwsyncro.co.uk - best place to research into it - thats what I did before I did my conversion.

Pau1 0 Posted February 4, 2004 Was that a UK based Syncro or a Euro G60 Syncro Ben? Im 100% sure that the UK based Syncros diffs will explode with anything over 115 BHP. Thats why my brother just sold the Syncro we bought. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhatVR6 0 Posted February 5, 2004 020 syncro box is the weak point, you need an 02A one really. Still haven't got round to starting my VR6 syncro setup.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JasonSanders 0 Posted February 5, 2004 so if i got a 02A syncro box and kept the standard syncro diff i should be ok? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhatVR6 0 Posted February 6, 2004 yes. well, the transfer box and the diff need to be matched. the rallye one is a different ratio to the Vr6 syncro one, but I think the golf syncro one is just the same as a rallye on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
