• WOW !!! Is this a 4x4 diesel we can't have in the US until its 25 years old  (Unless we know a military person stationed in Europe that we trust enough to give them $$$ to buy the car, and then keep it for 1 year after they import it here for free)
  
  I want one !!

  Unless you frequent VW shows, there’s a pretty good chance that you won’t have seen a Golf Country in the flesh. Designed for light off-road driving, it had more suspension travel, four-wheel drive, bullbars, and a skidplate for protecting the engine area. In Europe it was offered with the acclaimed 114bhp (85 kW) 1.8 8v petrol engine, and in smaller numbers, the 75bhp (56 kW) 1.6 GTD turbo diesel engine.

  Looks like I know where the Russians copied their 4x4 from now, except the diesel part - they have no clue on small diesel engines. They ran out of cash when they were to pay the $100M or so for their half VM Motori this month. GM bought the other half from Detroit Diesel last year for their cars in the rest of the world. Anyway, here a photo of what I saw in Ukraine. Sorry for the low quality. The 3D camera sometimes did this. This image you can get 3D w/o glasses if you hold your finger up in the middle of the 2 halfs and slowly bring it to your nose.

  wow thats freaky cool  :lol:
  
  as for the golf country, there are very few of them left apparently.  they only built a small amount, most of which aren't on this continent  :cry:

  the first thing i'd do with that exhaust manifold, is modify it. the cylinder closest to the exit point will be the first one to get ruined in the event of high EGT's.  the manifold isn't really that bad though... (compared to the 2.4L toyota diesel exhaust mani) but you'll need a shoe horn to fit that into a rabbit  :lol:

  The ILTIS came with a Diesel!
  
  If you like that (using the Rallye golf syncro set up, if I recall)
  Check out the ILTIS with a modified Quattro drivetrain
  and a 1.6 diesel, sealed to be in up to 2-3 feet of water!
  
  They say it is unstoppable..

  I'm not using that one, I got another that bolts right up to the gt2556v and the turbo sits on a more central place
  totally true about the shoehorn, this block is 7cm longer
  will have to get a compatible gearbox as well

  The Mk2 Looks    How do you mean Ibiza TDi engine mount? the later dogbone mount?
  
  I've got a Mk3 GTi subframe and made this stiff mount:
  
  I've also fitted a passat crossmember so i can have a very similar mount at the front too! if it's too stiff I'll drill some holes in the Pucks.
  
  Mine, soon to be very similar spec to gigaz2 (nearly built, M-tdi going in!):
  
  
  
  not many in tornado red i believe! there are not too many vans either!
• #71 by gigaz2 on 14 Mar, 2009 13:13
• really nice van!
  its not the dogbone style mount, came from an 110hp tdi, swapped just because the mk2 and mk3 subframes differ, although both mounts bolt right up
  
  VW = LEGO?
• #72 by ryanp on 14 Mar, 2009 15:24
• I've got a Seat ibiza TDi sport 110 and i think the mounts seem REALLY soft, the engine moves around LOADS! the vibrations are better than a mk3 mount though!
  
  I'm on with modding a big mount with some hokey pucks to make a stiffer gearbox side mount too.
  
  The Van looks a bit different now, rolled and flared arches with no trims, mk4 golf steels with 195/45/15 uniroyal rainsports and I'm just on with clearing all the small patches of rust and stonechips
  
  I think VW could persue LEGO for some sort of copyright infringement!!!!
  
  I really fancy building a 1y diesel head with a 1.6TD bottom end and a VNT for a crazy revving diesel!
