They closing business? Wow I just looked on their Facebook page. He sold his inventory to a guy is MASS. I’ve never heard of this guy and can’t find him on the forums. Same with the guy he sold his inventory to. I wonder who his supplier was…

Korwerks has the Conversion kit. It’s a 5 speed awd conversion kit. KIT Personally my experience with Frans was great. Also by korwerks photos, the items I received from Frans were much cleaner and in better condition. Plus he provided a new clutch and not a used one. Comparing their 5speed...

I know Frans from dutchautoparts could source you the parts for the swap. I know he told me when I did my 5speed conversation that the transmissions were becoming harder to come by. It took him a month to get my tranny. I just recently been put onto korwerks llc in NY. They seem to have the...

Sorry for late reply. I honestly forgot until you tagged me. Yes 1.8t *MANUAL* axles will work. I think only Passat specific Left (passenger side): 8D0407271BB Right (driver side): 8D0407272BB Part number for inner CV joint kit is 3B0498103BX Outer: 3B0498099E Make sure to replace the 12x...

Just seeing this thread for the first time and nice work. Sad to see that damage to such a beautiful car.

Have you tried contacting Frans to see if he can get you new or used OE inner replacements? Only inner CV joint replacements I can find are made by Dansk. Not sure of country of origin or quality but I don’t think they are OE as GKN makes the OE outer CV joint. If you have solid axles your best...

I would love to use my short throw shifter that I bought almost 4 months ago and still haven’t gotten due to back order. Which when buying directly through jhm it never said on the webpage or checkout that it was back ordered. It was marked as in stock. I was notified a day after my order was...

I would like to add that I am about 1200 miles on my clutch setup and so far so smooth. It grabs nice and the pedal feels very light. When I bled the clutch line I thought I did it wrong considering how low the clutch engaged. Well after breaking in the clutch it feels fantastic and same with...

So being forgetful that we share the same platform as the Audi I took a look at the AWX oil pan and sure enough it’s what I’m looking for. Not only that but it looks exactly like a 1.8t pan but with a built in block off for the turbo oil return line and the opening for the oil sensor. It’s ment...

AWX oil pan

What’s the difference in cost between local VW dealer and online?

I have zero experience with what the car felt like brand new off the lot. That seems like more of a question for oilhammer. I have zero experience with cheap aftermarket solid mounts. Since I technically put in oem and oe replacements according to FCP for all the mounts besides the snub mount I...

Ok I believe that’s the turbo oil return hole for the 1.8t. No sensor plugs into there. Ok I’ll make a block plate, Unless there is a oem tdi pan with the oil sensor so I don’t have to machine out my pan. I’ll be on the look out.

1000 miles. Time will tell if they last. (FCPeuro offers lifetime warranty so I’m not worried if I need to replace as it will be free and it’s not to hard.) I was to understand that the “fluid filled” hydraulic engine mounts were a must for the TDi. I believe the other variants (1.8t v6) use a...

So after doing all the work I’ve done, I’ve got the slowest drip coming from the front passenger side of the oil pan. I hate that gasket sealant stuff. Every car I’ve own or my father has own that has one of these “gasket maker” oil pan gaskets its always trouble and trial and error to get it to...

AWM oil pan

I bought corteco mounts from FCPeuro. (Part number 8D0199382AE.) They were marked as OEM replacements. It’s a German company but they are Chinese made replacements. I bought two. This is technically the passenger side motor mount but the mounts work for both sides. The passenger side comes with...

Well, the car came with the EGR deleted. I still have it but the valve is caked in carbon. I’ve always understood in any diesel it wasn’t a bad idea to take it off. If the ALH had a problem with intake carb and the PD didn’t why even risk it and just take it off to keep it clean anyway. Also...

Also @oilhammer you recommend a genuine fuel filter or OE over the 5 micron fuel upgrade listed in the how to sticky?

Why is removing the EGR bad? I’d assume having exhaust fumes recirculating in the engine would be bad no?
