What mileage were you able to get with this set up?

 

[vwztips]

Low to mid 30's in town. 38-44 HWY depending on how you drive it and AC usage

 

[vwztips]

Forgot to mention I installed new VW motor mounts and new battery.

Pictures are showing the 16" ?

 

[vwztips]

Yes. The 15" rims are Michigans which came on the 2004 TDIs.
Also installed a new grey VW shift boot and knob (not pictured),

Another rim option are the 17" Audi rims of my daily driver. Rims are in good shape. Tires are Primewells (on the rims when I bought them) and have 70% tread left. I would include these for the asking price too.

I've been trying to research the DUC trans on-line with no success. The shift pattern on the knob doesn't look like a VW. Can you give me more information? Did it affect the cruise control? What is the final drive ratio? RPMs at 70 mph? I am seriously considering this if it is still available. Thanks.

 

[vwztips]

Earl, not sure if you were actually looking for the DUC or if it was a typo, but it is a DUK.

The shift pattern is correct for a 5 speed longitudinal transmission (012). I have installed a new VW shift knob with gray boot since this picture was taken.

The gear ratios are:
1 = 35/10
2 = 35/18
3 = 33/27
4 = 28/32
5 = 24/35
FD = 32/9
RPM at 70 ~ 2200 to 2300

I have installed about 10 DUK's and 10 FHN's. Real world difference is not significant.

Cruise works. Clutch interlock works as it should, as well as everything else.

Fun car to drive.
