feeler wtb b3 passat wagon diesel.

[CRSMP5]

85 golf diesel.. and 02a.. most have nice overdrive (imo comparable to most 020).. but for what you seek.. a bad auto = car value = crap... but keeping 02a/using a 02a is much more easy then 020 swap...

why i used a 020 on mine... 10 years ago 02a swaps were hard/costly to find... my 02a set up that came in my sedan needed a flywheel, starter, shift cables, clutch... at that time used parts scarce.. new was over 1k... but i got the running sedan for 300$... due to all that damage.. just needed push started and could not shift gears except 3rd/4th..

my wagon, rust free virgina car, was 500 due to no run... got the td installed and all... main fuel pump removed and such... went to deal with float unit last... found tank DRY so out of gas is why it no run... the plastic was not even moist inside.. i really do mean dry.. car did idle.. off the gas that was in pump tank under car.. i AAA it home.. could have drove it with some gas...

in all honesty I think id rather use an 020 esp since your willing to help and know what to do.

and could I just get a 16v cluster to delete the electro digi speed o meter. what's a resell on a passat vr6 motor and trans?

no real value in vr6.. if 5 speed.. value in 5 speed swap.. more then motor.. too many bad auto vr6.. but fyi.. vr6 = abs... try to stay away from abs... too many bad abs units... reman abs unit = $1k+ and lots of bad ones out there... has no power assist when bad.. does not have brake booster.. its electric.. that pump fails.. cannot be gotten seperate..

i guess you can 16v the cluster.. but mk3 020 speed sensor should make vr6 one work... i did custom on mine..


http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?5787590-Brake-bleeding-help  is a example of abs issue... im banned there so cannot even tell guy.... but when abs works properly on a passat.. all you do is loosen bleeder.. turn key on.. press brakes... will be like watergun.. shoots brakefluid out... the electric motor does this... no flow = bad unit.. you can try pressure/pump bleed.. but will never work.. if he gets it to flow... there will be in effect no rear brakes.. till electric motor fixed...

ah shucks just can't win!

I've also never had abs on a vehicle ever so I don't plan on starting now. removing it would probably be a pain to I recon.

got a handle on one in florida now its a 92 auto 16v needs a "torque converter module" no idea what that is .guy says it runs great and is driveable but you have to shift it into neutral when stopping. I dont know anything about auto trans and such. any ideas? said id have no problem driving it if i didnt mind shifting it into neutral all the time in traffic.

tranny junk...

worst part of abs... 1 line to rear wheels... so would have to run 2nd line, change prop valve on axle for 2nd line... but it can be done..

also.. all b3 usa versions got electric seat belts... canada had normal ones... b4 do not fit properly due to silly cable/dampener attached to the reel.. but the plastic will..

some 16v have abs btw... get lots of pics.. my sn at aol.com and forward them over when you think you found it.. ill pick it apart..

talk to crazyandy... he has the plastic and shiftboot for a b3/b4...

1 of the worst things about any early 90's car.... electric seatbelts!! my first two saturns had them. f!@#$ garbage.
