    Yup once you bolt the 100mm flanges to the tranny, all you need are the mk2 100m axels and it will work like a charm! My original axles are holding up well with the AEB spinning them

    I use 99 TDI's for the cups, and 92 16v GLI for the axles, if you need to order/source as it basically guarantees the right parts, as all the Late Mk3 TDI O2a's I have seen have the bolt in style diff just like the O2j's, and are guaranteed to be 100mm.

    depends on how you do water lines. usually use ABA (2 outlets + large for thermostat and lower hose) AEB has 1 outlet + larger. Crank pulley depends on accessories. I usually run ABF or ABA accessories. Can use ABA crank pulley machined. I think INA also sells spacers to work with MK4 1.8T pulley.

    Inside face to give proper spacing. Search aba/16v. Same concept
