You'll need to source the Haldex running gear from a breakers. You can use 4motion or audi TT and probably others aswell but I'm not too sure.

as above ;)

That is looking so cool! (H)

How difficult was it to install the halidex kit? I'm assuming it wasn't plug and play!

big job mate but not much to do on the wiring side really,just wire the sqs haldex controller in and speedo for the gear box job done but fitting it was fun!alot of fabrication needed.

Thought it would be! Did you have to relocate the fuel tank and then remove the spare wheel well?

Your custom rear arms are a clever idea' date=' saves modifiying the rear chassis rails to accommodate the mk4 suspension set-up. What suspension (struts/springs) did you use on your car?

thats the very reason we did it,it was my mate who did the arms for me,he jigged the mk3 rear beam chopped the hubs did the same with the mk4 rear arms and swop them over,was i real pain though.it was the longest part of the project and took about 3 months to do but saved so much fuss.it now on mk3 coilovers

I quite fancy having a go at those just for the challenge.
