Post by: rubjonny on 01 November 2010, 09:11: 8vs ones 100% fit 16v. the gearbox is identical in size, and also engine is too

Might be wrong but were the later ones not bigger output flanges on the gearbox. :undecided:

I think you're confusing the sub-GTI vehicles where they use 90mm CVs, not the 100mm CVs of the GTI/16V

Yep I was, thanks for clearing it up, I knew some were 90mm.

This is balls.

Lower than GTI = 90mm flanges.

Syncro is 1.8 and that's on 90mm flanges.

What is a 'carby'?

Post by: rubjonny on 09 November 2010, 12:03: Looks like we are both right!

re-looking at etka early 1.8 carbed MK2 2WD and syncro were indeed 90mm, chassis break was up to 1G-K-990 000 which is around late 89 to 90. my mistake was just checking 1990 MK2 in etka

carby = carburettor equipped MK2 if you want to be captain pedantic

edit: well, technically we were both wrong and Wayne was right :grin:
