      Whilst not an Occy, here's an interesting thread on Mk 5 Jetta/Golf 4 motion conversion

            thanks! im reading through it and bookmarking it

            don't see why it cant be done in stages, yes youll be dragging around a rear diff etc, but if its not hooked up, its just weight. can do transmissions and prop shaft later as you get parts

              Hmm, why does my Nissan manual say don't tow the car, have it taken on a truck?

              What about using the gear from a Audi TT??? Probably the same also?

                  I think the biggest issue might be rear floorpan and fuel tank location relevant to the 4Motion diff and haldex, if that is the case I guess a custom made fuel tank that fits in the spare wheel well with reconfigured fuel delivery for more flow would be in order/wanted :p

                  At the moment I have convinced myself and the missus that because my MKV needs new tyres, I may as well get new wheels while I'm at it and put the Neptunes on the golf and the new wheels go on the Octy.

                  I am thinking maybe 19" as there is a bit more room than my golf arches, but am unsure on tyre size and profile depending on the way it will sit once lowered a little.
                  I'm guessing a 225 would be best for performance and fitment but I thought a 235 would be a more common size for a 19" wheel?

                  I am also considering perhaps a lighter 18" setup might be better, not sold either way just yet as some wheels I like only come in 19s or over.

                  Any ideas? I'd love to hear other peoples opinions especially knowing the planned AWD conversion as to what would suit best.

                  I have also toyed with the idea of trying to mock up a widebody or some flared arches with some filla foam and shaping to suit, it would be a lot cheaper than sourcing it I'd imagine, if they exist.

                  A Widebody BT AWD Octy RS Wagon sounds kinda fun to me now I just gotta stop being lazy and win the lotto tonight

                    No problem at all - have to use a fuel tank from the donor car - same mounting holes etc
                    The rear suspension also uses the same mounting holes
                    Almost plug and play - the designers are pretty clever
                    The spare tire well may need to be hacked up

                    You need to use a tyre size calculator - try to keep the rolling diameter the same
                    This may involve running wider tyres with a lower profile
                    235 is a really common size on the Golf's
                    19" inch wheels can look really striking

                      Hello guys!

                      I confirm you that a conversion of Octavia 2 Hatchback VRS TDI to 4x4 is possible. I am currently working on this. Today I have mounted the rear axle from a Skoda Octavia 2 Combi 4x4, on my VRS without any major issues. The spare tire did not need any modifications/cuttings. The 4x4 axle fits perfectly and also the diesel tank.
