We get a lot of emails each day, and we try to reply everyone asap. Your order has been processed and goes out today.

Frans = the truth!

Shipped on 02/20...was about to follow up 4 days later when Bay Area TDI Guru, Matt P. , messaged to tell me that my swap kit had arrived!

Though the ordering process was slightly longer than anticipated, the completeness of the kit and quality of the components are worth the wai! Thank you, Frans! You have found a lifelong customer in me. Can't wait for the next project with parts from DAP.

Do you sell complete engine/drivetrain /ecu/ wiring swaps too?

Frans - have you thought about adding 5 speed manual conversions for the T1N Sprinter? They weren't available here with a manual transmission.

I'm sure we can come up with something. do you happen to have a VIN of an automatic?

Would ANY automatic VIN work? If so I could send you one.

My 2003 T1N auto vin is on its way via email...I just did the RSN fix on my 2003 Sprinter with 122k miles and will be putting the van up for sale, but it would be a nice service we could offer at the shop if the swap kits become available.

Frans. Sent a couple emails over the last two days to info@dudtchautoparts.com email. Saw you are having trouble with your account. Making sure you received them. Looking forward to doing business with you and finally upgrading to a 6sp. Thanks,

Received my tranny thank you. Best price out there on the euh 02j

For those of you who ordered the 5spd transmission and new clutch, was there anything else that you needed (other than oil) to purchase to do the install? From the sounds and looks, everything you need (less tools/time/labor) is included. Seems like a heck of a deal. Just wondering before I order.

 

[annieneff]

I've bought at least three from Frans (b4 Passat, jetta, b5.5 Passat) and maybe more I'm forgetting... It is a C O M P L E T E kit. Can't emphasize complete enough there. And, yes, it is a heck of a deal!

Question about his ALH longblocks - are they a 'drop it in and run' or are they to be treated as cores to be rebuilt before putting into use?

 

[ShaneShelley234]

Why would you ship an ALH core across the pond? Plenty if those around here.

What's a long block cost around you?
I haven't seen them here and for $775 from Frans shipped, it doesn't sound too bad if it's 'drop in' ready.

A good ALH core seems to run about a grand here.

 

[ShaneShelley234]

You need to move to the Midwest. I just bought a running driving ALH Jetta for $1500 and I know where there is a bug right now for $1500 or less

Soon. Taxes and fuel prices keep going up out here.

yes oil is needed and a ecu modification. mk4 can be done with vcds. Passat needs to be modified by a tuner.

These engines are used and in good condition. Core engines are rare since these Alh engines are very durable. (with proper maintenance...)

Fran's,
Money sent a few we ago for 6sp conversion. You were at a 2-3 week wait. Any change and/or movement on mine? Thanks

 

[Jthorg]

Frans,

I paid $2,049 on March 24th for the standard transmission kit with the FHN transmission, CV joints,Valeo clutch, and interlock switch.
On May 12th, I received the FHN transmission only. It was strapped to a pallet with nothing else
When can I expect the rest of my order?

Thank You

 

[davisw73]

Same as jthorg, got my trans the other day but not the rest of the conversion kit.

Has anyone heard back from Frans lately? I've been trying to get in touch with him for weeks via email and PM. In the past he was more responsive. A bit unnerving...

 

[davisw73]

Got the rest of my kit today and inspected it. Thank you Frans. It was packaged very well and the parts are in great shape. Parts in plastic/bubble wrap/individual boxes, inside of a box, inside of another box, wrapped with straps and then more plastic.
To all current and potential customers. Have a little patients, He seems to be very busy and can be hard to get in touch with sometimes. Fran's prices and quality are worth the wait if you have to...but make sure you have budgeted in a little extra time to wait if you have ordered an on sale or high demand item.
Bottom line, will do business with him again when in need.

I got an update from him today via email. I think he is just very busy gathering our parts and trying to keep up with his business, but I agree with the others here that believe it is well worth it for the savings you get working with Frans.

I just installed an 01m to 6 speed 02m swap kit from Frans in my '01 golf. Everything arrived in a timely manner, in excellent condition, and very complete. The transmission shows no wear and shifts perfectly. The kit arrived in 3 separate boxes over a period of a week. I ended up stripping the transmission mount aluminum threads, so I replaced that part as well as all of the stretch bolts with new ones.

Please be patient with Frans regarding e-mails, putting these kits together must require a lot of work. His kits are excellent, and I highly recommend it!

Guys ....remember that he's in another country that's 6hr+ of eastern time and this isn't his only source of advertising. CALL HIM if you have issue.. 011 314 997 008 21

 

[Rrusse11]

Email sent about 15/17 for an ALH, or 17/22 in 15 housing?
Cheers,

[jimbote]

reserved.... got an email, hopefully will have the parts soon

 

[Nash_TDI]

Just got a 6spd yesterday from him.

 

[Nevada_TDI]

It is 11:45 am PST and I just called this number and spoke with Frans requesting an invoice: 011 314 997 008 21 he answered on the third ring and promised sending me an invoice within 30 minutes. I will let everyone know when it lands in my email box.

At 12:01 pm PST my invoice arrived in my email box; 15 minutes, not 30 minutes. Thank you, Frans!

E-mailed and Pmed. No response. As a business owner, I simply do not have the time to chase after people.
