White "Lion" Cupra - DSG converted track car
teo_parvu:
Thanks man! :grin:
I've bought new driveshafts using a friend's VIN from his DSG ED30 even before my gearbox arrived but with the option to return them at my expense in case they will not fit.
I was hoping that mine will fit and get the money back. When the gearbox arrived, we tested them, but mine were different and the new ones were ok.
I don't know if this is a rule but in my case the 02Q driveshafts were different than the 02E ones.

All right, well then you should be sorted if you used a VIN matching a car that was "born" with the DSG.
What about the ECU, wire harness and all this?
I also have the 02Q 6-speed manual gearbox in my 2.0tdi which hopefully someday will have th DSG running smooth :D Replacing my engine with a freshbuild one along with new exhaust system, so if I should do the conversion it would be same with these jobs. Guess it would make the job alot easier when everything is off the car anyway.
Will also install new subframe, anti roll bars, end links, brakes etc etc.
But guess it'll make my job easier to find same model as mine and use that VIN to shop the correct parts.
What about the fram the holds the pedals? Do you change this or can you use the manuel frame that holds 3 pedals to the 2 pedals from DSG?

The ECU will have to be adapted I believe, MRC will take care of that.
I've bought a complete wiring loom from a 2013 Passat CC TSI which should be ok, we'll use the parts we need, apart from the DSG connector which is different, but we'll modify it.
At first I will use the old pedals, they will work, no problem. I will only remove the clutch pedal for weight saving. Maybe later I'll buy a DSG brake pedal.

I went for the 20 teeth parking brake LSD version. My Ed. 30 was built in February of 2008 and the gearbox code is KNB. Hope we both got it right. :signLOL:
Loving all the new bits you bought. I've read that the external oil pump for the DSG cooler is advised. The stock pump is too weak. Hope others can help you with that upgrade too. :smiley:

That’s valuable information for me, Joaquim. Thanks bro!
Since your gearbox is KNB and mine KNC, for sure I too have 20T. I will have to get the LSD changed.
I will not take the chance to overheat the gearbox, I’m going to buy an external oil pump then. :/
