mk5 Jetta/Golf 4motion conversion findings

[mtbr244]

I have an r32 that will be converted to tdi power.

I talked to Peloquin, it looks like the diffs themselves are the same, so I'm thinking that grabbing the front haldex from a TT with a few extra pieces should be enough to convert the car over.

Same here. I have some feelers out for a totaled TDI to swap with my existing 3.2L and tranny. Ideally, I would do a near even swap. TDI's are being tuned to produce some decent HP and awesome torque these days. My R should still be a pretty solid performer except with almost twice the MPG after the swap. Plus I can run it on veggie oil. Anyone with info an a wrecked TDI drop me a line.

Here is my build so far:

Hi to all,

New to the Forum but have been watching this thread for some while now.

We recently built a Jetta R, taking a 2007 Jetta 2.0TFSI and putting a hot R engine in, completed its running 343 proven on the dyno. See video below.

The car is running TTRS front brakes with PFB discs and pads, KW V3 suspension, H&R front and rear roll bars, full decat Miltek 3" exhaust (turbo back), APR intake, MRC HP fuel pump, RS Fabrications fully bolted to welded base plates cage, MK 6 steering wheel, Passat LED touch screen NAV and US spec rear boot lid.

After being fed up of having little or no grip in the weather we are having I have decided to start the Synchro mission.

So, with the information here, the rear end of an S3, plenty of ETKA and Dealership help, we think this can be done.

Will also keep you informed and pictures.

Cheers

^well done

[danielstdi]

Really wanting to try this on my 2010 Jetta TDI. Did you finish the conversion?

[RedWabbitVR]

why isn't this done yet.... I want to see the outcome. don't tease me, I'll drive down there and do it myself if I have to.

[RedWabbitVR]

Is done, been done for almost two years.

Installing a hep manifold, fpv, and building a new exhaust atm.

Trying to hit 500 awhp on pump gas with the standard 3076r

are you the OP?? if not then I wasn't talking to you.

he's been researching/gathering parts for a few years I just want to know the outcome not whether it can be done or not. it's obvious it can be.

hahaha, got two threads mixed up.

It is obvious it can be done, I did it to a gti.

The only reason it is not done yet is my '06 Jetta is my DD and I cannot take it off the road for more than weekend. But I got the '85 Jetta TD recently that will be used as my spare DD and as soon as I fix few urgent issues in it, the 4Motion swap has to be completed.

So just to confirm the chassis will accept the rear subframe bolt on?

Did you even read this thread? Or how about just a couple posts up?

Maloshak, just to let you know:

As of today, 4 successful 4wd have been built on the mkv platform, on the 2.5l engine.
1 by unitronic and 3 were done with united motorsports. If you have any questions, contact them.

I'd way prefer to have an awd 2.0t a3, if its doable I'd be interested for sure! I love this engine but with fwd it just spins all it's power away.

[mYGeL]

You can se exactly what is needed and also posted the Wiring for Haldex and fuellevelsender

i have a seat leon but it is based on the golf so same work and wiring
