Mk3 Golf Cab - VR6 Conversion


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I know this has been done before quite a lot but I've always wanted to do a VR6 into Mk3 Golf Cabriolet.

Do I need to use a VR6 subframe or will it mount on the subframe from the 1.6 / 1.8?

And if a VR6 subframe does need to be used do I then have to use a VR6 rear axle to keep it all wide track?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Pretty sure you need the subframe mate but the rear axle shouldn't be an issue. Many people use vr6 subframe under mk2s without an axle swap.

It would however mean you would have the discs on the rear if you have a donor car which is pretty much essential with the 6 cylinders

I did this very conversion not too long ago.  I sourced a donor car and just dropped the complete engine, sub frame, drive shafts, bigger brakes and everything out in one go and bolted it  straight into the Cabby.  You'd be daft not to use the rear axle from the VR as you'll get a disc brake rear end
