Re: PD CONVERSION

the rear mount is identical dimensionally on B3/4 Passat & mk2/3 golf so this shouldn't be an issue B-)

the turbo's outlet will foul an origonal aluminium mount bracket but the subframe & it's mount rubber will be fine :-bd

B4 TDI wagon breaking & B3 mecanical...

I'm breaking another B4 tdi wagon (no engine available as it's in one of my B3's :D ) and have many B4 & B3 mecanical parts / subframes / rear axles etc.

sensable prices for Passat owners, 'Scene-Tax' applied for others :hyst

Located near Swansea, South Wales.

Re: Door lock electrical connections

I'm not 100% on this but.......

the switch on the door handle / lock is a secondary signal?

the vacuum actuator also has wiring with the drivers door being the 'master' and controlling the whole system :???:

Re: B3 Passat 1.9 GL Body Panels

secondhand would probably be the easiest to find, New OEM is the sort of thing found in a dusty storeroom or ebay as VW have discontinued B3 parts from their spares lists :((
