      Oh i wonder if a flipped small rear Tesla motor would fit in the back - seen a Tesla in the front of that model Golf... or maybe the i-pace motor as they are like a barrel with shafts at each end no diff hanging of the side like the Tesla design...

    I did LOADS of research on this about a year ago - I *was* gonna say it should all work but the haldex clutch isn't all that strong so there's a chance it'll burn up pretty quick but then I saw you welded it anyway in later videos, absolutely love it 😂

    I'm doing a B9 A4 quattro spec conversion on my B8.5 A4 FWD CVT in Jan 2021. Basically I'm putting the DSG, quattro drivetrain & EA888 Gen 3 2.0t 252hp 2018 A4 parts in my 2013 A4 might even do a manual swap since I have a full donor B9 A4 car! I can't wait to see your process as it may indeed help me out with mine! More of the work & progress of my build is in my channel.

    Hey guys.. I'm from Germany.. now living in Ireland.. anyway Google aka RUclips AI suggested me this video and I like your content so I left a like and subscribed.
    I am advanced, so if youtube vids dumb things down too much I get bored quickly as it wastes my time, which I have to say is not the case with your content.
    So good work guys, you are fun!
    BTW I'd like to mention the elefant in the room: Me being German I am aware that the world is still nuts about German cars, why, I do not know.
    Especially in recent years they are not known to be the most reliable and also not well engineered.
    My father was big in the tire business and had huge contracts with Audi, but regularly went to business meetings in a Honda Accord. The smurfs at Audi did not like.
    That said, since Mighty Car Mods I do understand them GTI's are very popular in the English speaking world.
    Nuff said for now

    Great project idea, I’d say you’ll need to replace the trunk floor in the gti with r32 floor to make the rear diff fit.

    Converted my fwd A3 to awd. Was a pain doing it on jackstands. I’m sure you guys are more knowledgeable than me but for anyone else doing the swap, if you have a spare r32 parts car, also swap the abs pump and esp sensor. The 02q can be converted to awd. Easiest way is to get an awd lsd and bolt it to the oem ring gear. You’ll need the proper seal 02q409189 and obviously the bevel box to connect the drive shaft to.

    • @cjdoc77

    Haldex isn't designed to be engaged full time. Few MK4 R32 guys found out the hard way burning up the clutch in it.
    As that was a Gen1 system in the MK4, let's hope the Gen2 system can handle it, or you have a few Haldex parts laying around and are going to get very proficient at changing stuff out.

  • @derschwarzgeist
    @derschwarzgeist 4 года назад +2

    The thing I'm wondering about is how well that clutch pack in the Haldex is going to hold up to 2-4+ times the amount of torque it normally would need to.
    I wonder if it'd be possible to make a solid coupler shaft that takes the place of the clutch and connects the propshaft directly to the pinion gear driving the differential. Or adapt a rear diff from a Subaru or other car.

  • @WreckedRevival
    @WreckedRevival 4 года назад

    I'd thought about doing this quite a bit when I had my GTI and my ultimate decision was to not do it because of the costs involved with needing to purchase multiple vehicles, messing with haldex, possibly needing a syvecs standalone etc. The difficulty of the engineering and fabrication aside, a mid engine RWD GTI would imo be a much cooler and possibly less of a headache on the electronics side but obviously quite a bit more fab work and plumbing.

    This is my dream! Wish they would make them like this from factory! Love my bigger turbo jetta... just not the front wheel drive. Ground is wet. I do nothing but burnouts at every light and every turn! A lot easier to control a rear slip then holding onto the wheel for your life!

  • @chrisr4815
    @chrisr4815 4 года назад +1

    The leak detection pump is to check for evap leaks. Not fuel. It's part of the emissions system.

    • @Deutscheautoparts
      @Deutscheautoparts  4 года назад

      Evaporative emissions are fuel vapors, this system does ensure the gas tank isnt leaking hydrocarbons into the atmosphere. PS we know its not supposed to keep your car from blowing up. Its a joke.

    Those used O2 Sensors actually have some value. You can take the Male electrical Terminals out of the Housing and turn into Good Electrical probes for diagnostic Purposes. Those Male terminals are the same corresponding size as most of the Female electrical Connectors on the rest of the Car, at least on my Mk3. The Remaining wire makes for High quality elctrical Hookup wire that can be used a numerous different Ways. I ve Wire up many a thing using salvaged wiring from old O2 Sensors..
