Hi alll,
   I found a very low milage 1986 VW golf. This would make
even a better motor for my swap Syncro project. Only
problem is, it is an Automatic. Anyone know if there is
any problem with things like the ECU, crank end, etc.
from the manual transmission Golf. I'm a bit conserned that
this motor may not be the same as the manual transmission
engine. For example: would the computer be setup diferently
for and auto.? Is the crank end different, to adapt to the
transmission?
