**must match tie rods to A-arms used
Spindles:
All can be used A2/A3/Corrado/Passat
** must match struts to spindles (there are different widths)
Axles:
*driveshaft choice is dependent on which control arm / hub assembly is used, axle length and splines are different from 4 lug to 5 lug
a)any A2 100mm *4 lug
b)corrado G60 *4 lug
c)A3 2.0L *4 lug
d)A3 VR6 *5 lug
e)Corrado VR6 *5 lug

b)Corrado G60 NON-abs *will work with any non abs A2 booster or ANY A3 booster
c)Passat 16V NON-abs *will work with any non abs A2 booster or ANY A3 booster
d)Corrado ABS *will only work with Corrado or Passat ABS Units
d)Passat ABS *will only work with Corrado or Passat ABS Units
**This bracket is needed to install the hydrolic clutch master cylinder
Brake Booster:
a)All will fit *depends on your choice of abs/non abs and rear drum/disk
b)All NON-ABS boosters will fit on the Corrado/Passat NON-ABS bracket, the A3 boosters both ABS and NON ABS will also fit this bracket as well
**The A3 boosters will need to be modified to work with a corrado pedal cluster
Brake Master Cylinder:
*Should be upgraded to a 22 or 23mm master if using either a rear disk conversion and or larger brakes from a Corrado or A3 VR6
*Match to your application, Corrado parts are a direct fit as well as A3 and Passat, depends on your brake choices
Steering column:
a)A2 column *requires U-joints from A3 to mount to A3 rack
b)Corrado column *requires U-joints from A3 to mount to A3 rack
c)A3 column *needs modification to install properly but can be fitted especially with a dash conversion
d)Passat VR6 *some modifiction needed

d)Passat VR6 *direct fit
Clutch master:
a)Corrado VR6 *works with corrado/passat bracket and pedal assembly
b)Corrado G60 *works with corrado/passat bracket and pedal assembly
b)Passat 16V *works with corrado/passat bracket and pedal assembly
c)Passat VR6 *works with corrado/passat bracket and pedal cluster
d)A3 VR6 *works with A3 pedal assembly, can fit corrado assembly with modifications
Heater/AC Box:
a)A2 *direct fit
b)A3 *slight modifications needed but pretty much a direct fit
c)Corrado *direct fit
AC lines:
a)Corrado VR6 lines *clean fit
b)A3 VR6 lines *needs modification but can be used
Power Steering lines:
Should be matched with rack, A2 to A2, Corrado to Corrado and so on
** The corrado VR6 lines are the best fit
Brake lines:
a)A2 *match to rear brakes
b)A3 *direct fit if using A3 booster and rear beam
Rear Beam:
a)A2 *direct fit
b)A3 *direct fit
c)Corrado *direct fit
All can be converted from drum to disk
** remember to add the A3 rear beam if using Plus Suspension in the front**
Gas Tank:
a)A2 *direct fit best to use 16V fuel pump
b)A3 VR6 *best to use A3 straps, direct fit
Fuel lines:
If you swap the A3 fuel tank the A3 lines are also a direct swap
Accel. Cable:
a)Corrado VR6 *dircet fit to corrado pedal cluster, but on an OBD2 engine swap you will need to adjust the bracket on the intake manifold by 1/2" toward the throttle body to have proper throttle responce
b)A3 VR6 *direct fit on A3 pedal cluster but can be used on a corrado pedal cluster with the use of an A3 gas pedal
c)Passat VR6 *with passat pedal cluster
Cable Shifter:
a)A3 VR6
b)Corrado VR6
c)Passat VR6 *longer but can work
Thanks to smokinjoe644 for compiling this list.
In addition Futrell Autowerks has a walk-through of their mk2 golf VR6 build that may be helpful for those attempting a swap.
