There was a company that did the 4mo conversion a few years back, cost was around 12 grand iirc. There's a lot more to it than just having the gear, the whole shell has to be adapted.

indeed, which is why noone bothered :laugh:

Hard to say with that ebay ad, could be anything wrong with it. Off the shelf charger kits are around 6 grand, add 1500 for brakes and suspension.

If i could do it again, I'd get a V6 4M with a blown lump & put an S3 (BAM) lump in there for a 'Golf S3'.

But then again, early S3's are pretty cheap these days!!

we've already done it!



The 4motion running gear doesnt fit, firstly its awd and the 1.8t isnt, the holes dont join up on the gearboxes either. front brakes are 312's though which can be used on the 1.8t. Most things are surprsingly different!


thats the way forward then :afro: you guys are ace

lol cheers! If I didnt do so much to mine, I would have sold it bought a 4mo with a f**ked engine and done that defo!
Will always love my mk4 but she had to go...225 Quattro TT in its place....but its still black (she lives on in spirit!)
