Here's a list of stuff I've put on the mk2 from the mk3, including other bits needed to complete my conversion.From the mk3:Petrol Tank (optional, just easier to replace it rather than messing about with fuel pumps, i'm lead to believe the 8v has a different pump than the 16v golf - not sure if anyone can confirm this?)Steering ColumnIgnition Barrel / key etc..Indicator StalksMk3 Steering WheelMk3 Gear Shift GatorMiltek Exhaust (with mk3 exhaust hangers chopped from my mk3)6 Branch ManifoldDe-cat pipeMk3 Brake Servomk3 samco's - 2 hoses not usedMk3 wide track - 5 stud wheel (will require new stretch bolts, front / rear)Mk3 PAS steering rackmk3 Eibach Front ARBMk3 Koni CoiloversMk3 Wheels (needs a slight bit of arch work, nothing a grinder cant sort on the front arches, I need 2 new ones anyway, so will be rolling them properly when I have it re-sprayed)Mk3 Brake SetupSubframe / Axle stretch boltsMk3 engine loom / fuseboxMk3 Floor MatsOther Parts:Corrado VR6 front cross-memberCorrado / Passat Peddle Box (for hydrolic clutch)Corrado VR6 twin fans + radiatorAuxiliary Belt - I've now ditched the Air Con compressorReplaced due to damage etc..Vibra Technics rear engine mountGear Box Case and mountNew ClutchNew HT LeadsTop / Bottom Samco Hoses for Corrado VR6 radiatorSump needed welding upexhaust heat wrapCant think of anything else at the moment, will add if I remember anything else Link to post Share on other sites

vdubgirl 3 Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 I've remained 4 stud on my Mk2VR6. You can use the Passat pedal box for the Hydralic Clutch conversion. But to do the Big brake conversion you will need either a Late Mk2 16v or older 4 stud passat for the hubs.For lots more info on Mk2 VR6's got to www.mk2vr6.com Good luck with the conversion Link to post Share on other sites
