Scirocco Syncro swap.



The 4000 quattro system and the Quantum (Passat) Syncro system are 
exactly the same, with the exception of the rear suspension, which is 
completely different.  But all the driveline components (engine, tranny, 
axles, diffs, etc) are the same.  The only other VW all-wheel drive 
model offered in the states was the Vanagon Syncro (with the expection 
of the R32, of course), but that system is different than the VW/Audi 
passenger car setup.

As far as weight, it IS a lot of steel, but I can't tell you how much. 
Have Allyn and Dave load up a truck with the quattro parts they have and 
weigh them.

The rear end pictured in the auction is identical to the rear on my 
Quantum (Passat everywhere else but the US) Syncro wagon.
