Post by: mbissett82 on 05 August 2011, 13:00

hi there i have a 1.9 tdi (normal 89BHP one).i got hold of a vr6 yesterday.the engine is dead on it.but it has nice 17's koni coilovers and a few other things.

so what parts of the running gear can be used on the tdi?brakes,suspension,would i need to swap over the whole hubs wishbones rear axle etc,what about brake cyclinders etc would the tdi set up work on the vr6 gear?

the vr6 coilovers i think will go straight in as a direct swap

are you hubs 4 or 5 stud on the TDi

Coilovers and the hubs/brakes then wheels

All diesel are 4x100 Vr6 and GTI 5x100. Abs would be a lot more involved and not worth the hassle

Interior will also go over, comfier more supportive seats and nicer trims
