New engine is finaly soon to be fitted along with new brakes, discs and pads all the way around - Will also change the intire rear subframe mounts, since I'll change rear hubs for alloy ones. (already got hubs and wishbones in alloy at the front)
In the fall hopefully I got time to do a full DSG and maybe a 4motion conversion if I can find the parts to do it the 4motion retrofit :D The DSG conversion will happen no matter what since my clutch problerly wont last longer to the fall with the new engine :evilgrin:

What's the availability of 4motion parts for you? What gearbox would you use with a 4motion conversion, as I assume you would need to change the DSG for a 4wd version? Sound like you need to do this along with 4wd at the same time (or at least that is what you tell you wife :happy2:
Christiank:
Any DSG gearbox can be used for this, since you'll have the haldex sitting another place. So i bet you would need some other front shafts , rear subframe, all the haldex parts / drive train , another down pipe / exhaust , another fuel tank and some other parts.. It just took my breath writing down these parts needed to be changed in order to make the 4-motion happen :signLOL:
Maybe when everything else is finished on the car and I've enjoyed it, this could happen in the future :D Right new, I'm still gathering parts for the DSG conversion and trying to plan having new rear fenders along with inner and outer panels swapped ready to be painted

Sounds like it will be easier to buy a 4motion and then install a DSG! :signLOL:

Not when you live in Denmark :signLOL:
Cars over here is more exspensive than in the UK... lets say you'll find a MK5 R32 in the UK for 9000
GPB - that same car here in Denmark will cost you more than 20.000 GPB
And since the cars are so exspensive people tempt to chose the ekstra unchecked when they are ordering a car :confused: So not that many DSGs and even less with 4Motion hehe.
