however, it should be easy to make. i could probably wressle up a pic if you can’t find any online as a friend of mine has two jetta syncros (and a country chrome edition)

[Housey]

the jetta is a bit wierd in the back the floor are the same as the golf. but they have a few centermeters of “deep” floor space from the syncrofloor and back.

i’ve got that USRT brace. its s-hit. utter s-hit..

it does nothing. its so extremly thin. and it does not fit at all

and its a knock-off from another type which is similar. but require you to send your bellhousing in for machining

however. a VR6 bellhouse will not fit a 4 cyl engine, but you probably already know this

I’ve got a rallye coming in a few weeks with no engine and gearbox, I’m putting quite a strong G60 engine in so will be upgrading to VR6 syncro gearbox and rear diff (which I already had knocking about) so I need a rallye bell housing.

If Nas’s bell housing would work for me I’d be ok with a swap.

The Vr6 box isn’t any stronger then the regular 02c. so why bother?

you are better off using the internals from a 02J box.

but the real culpit with these boxes are the case flexing. which will rip the gears..

and you won’t do that with a G60 engine no matter what

[Housey]

do we have a source for the o-rings needed for this “rebuild”?

and can anyone actually notice any difference when the fluid has been changed from the stock 30 000ish to 100 000?

will you have more rwd traction? or will it be “constant” binding and ruining the system?

[Housey]

i might in a while. when the 16v turbo is up and running

i’m then parting out the PG syncro engine. so i’ll have the manifold then

no problems posting to ireland if you can handle the shipping prices from norway

[Housey]

no problems chris. best is that you get well soon

and thanks.

265nm is the same as wheel bearings on Mk2 golfs should be interesting to try that one (i’ve got a torquewrench that goes from 200 to about 800nm (almost 1.5meters long))

[Housey]

you out of the hospital yet chris?

the box is back together, but i don’t have the torque for the angle drive..

i wild guess is that the housing bolts are 25nm. but the big nut on the flange for the prop-shaft?

[Housey]

with rebuild i mean new a better fluid aswell

[Housey]

thanks chris

[Housey]

would be great to find a “rebuild” kit for the VC units

there are som standard size o-rings there. but some odd shaped ones too

[Housey]

not too fond of cheap adjustible coilovers. too low and too stiff to drive.

i’ve gotten to the point where i’m about to send the norwegian “car”-authorities an email asking if can use regular golf 2 fwd 40/30 springs.

there arn’t too much differences on them. and the culpit will be the axle weight.

if they match or is better it should in theory be okay.. hopefully

[Housey]

still on the lookout.

[Housey]

me neither doubt that they do.

i’ll find something eventually took all of mine out. smells to bad. damn water. damn old car. damn old rubber seals. damn rust. damn it all

[Housey]

hmm. are we thinking about the same things?

i’m thinkin about those thick fluffy “insulation” mats
