palmer 17 Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Just a quick 1, does any1 know if 4mo front subframe/hubs etc will bolt on mk3. The only reason i ask is that i will be using my 4mo as a donor for my vento and wondered if it would be easier to just transfer the whole lot ova save gettin the driveshafts shortend etc. Any info would be ideal as if it will fit i can start sellin old parts to help fund any lil bits i may require.Cheers, Lee Link to post Share on other sites
VIW28 29 Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Wont work buddy. Subframe is different width and everything. Shortening drivers side shaft is not an issue anyhow, passenger side is direct fit. If you use the VR6 02A box you wont need to change anything. Link to post Share on other sites
palmer 17 Posted November 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Fair enough i will just get the shaft sorted then. im gonna go with the 4mo box as im fittin the whole runnin system from the 4mo so i get all the haldex goodness lol. Cheers for ya help though m8 its appreciated Link to post Share on other sites
VIW28 29 Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 No probs fella, few guys on here now gonna be running haldex FYI I used a drivers side shaft from a 130 TDI mk4 and shortened it by 50mm, thought it a better way than extending the 4mo shaft and having two welds but then i have built mine for FWD at the minute. Thought I would mention it in case you end up FWD too. Link to post Share on other sites
palmer 17 Posted November 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Yea i was gonna stay FWD an build low comp turbo engine but then i found the whole donor car for to much of a bargain to let go :-). Ok bud cheers i will keep it in mind and see how it goes. Wat did u do at the hub end ?? as the shafts are different sizes arnt they ?? Link to post Share on other sites
VIW28 29 Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Nope! Hub splines are exactly the same The only parts really of any use to you from the AWD on the mk4 is the haldex diff and controller from what i can make out...all the rest needs to be Syncro parts from what i can gather Link to post Share on other sites
palmer 17 Posted November 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Ok m8 i shall delve into a lil more. I had a look on dutch-build and they have a syncro to 4mo conversion. Not gonna lie the axles look identical bar the obvious diff between syncro an haldex. So im thinking the whole rear will fit on with abit of fab work ?? Link to post Share on other sites
VIW28 29 Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Dont think so matey, the arms looked totally different if i remember right. Im aware of the Dutchbuild cradle but it's stupidly overpriced for something that looks like I made myself lol. Axles/driveshafts may be similar but rear suspension setup is totally different therefore hubs etc are different.Paul Parky, Tony and United Motorsport would be best on this thread as they have all done it and know exactly what components to use.

VIW28 29 Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Have a read through this, might give you some pointers although it's not Haldex, it's a Syncro conversion - http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?4977281-Complete-step-by-step-Swapping-a-syncro-to-a-MK3.&highlight=syncro Link to post Share on other sites
palmer 17 Posted November 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Jus had a look on the dutch build site......I completely misread it lol. the pic i thought was of both axles is jus a syncro axle and a modified syncro axle to fit haldex MY BAD lol. i shall start the hunt for an axle :-/, Cheers for all ya help dude Link to post Share on other sites
