anyone know the differences between the two? i have spotted that the mk3.5 comes with the crossflow 8v which i believe is mk4 only, and obviously the front panels but are there any other differences between the two? ie which bits are mk3 and which bits are mk4
-
Think the interior is different, it comes with the mk4 wheel? Not sure about the dash though.
And also i think it has black trim as aposed to the cream trim on the pillar/s.
-
It is a mk3 that was made to look like a mk4, it is not a mk4 front by the way, most of the chassis is the same and I believe the dash is as well, the dials are different.
-
They have a mk4 look front end, but can be grafted on to a mk3, mk3 dash with blue dials and mk4 wheel. As far as im aware the engines are just the same as the mk3, i thought the crossflow was overseas only.

Spot on, I believe the crossflow was USA only first then launched in the mk4 and Beetle.

so if the mk3.5 has a mk4 engine what other mk4 mechanical bits does it have? im just trying to work out if its worth spending the extra money on the facelift one

It does not have a mk4 engine, mk3.5 used all mk3 running gear including 4 stud wheels.

It has even more weight for 2.0 8v (or less) engine to shift! and more roly poly handling.
These cabs are for looks not for sporty drive but can look hot.
Loads of scuttle shake if you thrash em about
Better to get facelift one as they look less tired imo. :smiley:

im going to look at one this weekend and from the pictures it has a mk4 engine in it, an 8v crossflow. its a 2002 one i think

I would think the very last ones would, as they were using it in the Beetle etc then.

AQY engine, i think 115BHP and a little bit more torque than AGG/ADY etc.
(Also APK and AZJ same power figures, on Beetles and MK4's)
