MK3 Random Thread

Why are 16x8's so impossible to come across. Still struggling to find a nice set of 4x100 even with a hugely increased budget

15x8 et25 Enkies always come up for <$1000. Good value

They used to be a lot cheaper, don't remember them being so expensive. I guess out dollar is sh-t.

thanks buddy will keep that in mind!

will still consider if someone has some used ones locally though

vagtex USA, $50 shipped. Came with the filter, rubber seal on the filter, gasket (with the four metal inserts).

Penrite says ATF FS Multi is the preferred fluid. What did you get?

edit; lol, my price checker is indicating a 0.2% price drop on the Penrite ATF, good to see that my tool is working.

Went to order from vagtex to find that part number starts with 01M and listed for 1995 onwards. Mine is a 1994 model, 096 Trans.

ECS Allows me to enter in 1994 but still lists part no. Beginning with 01M.

Both kits look same same but ECS is more expensive.

Will call vw again... to confirm I order the right stuff but if anyone on here can confirm, I'd be grateful.


Appreciate any help I can get, so I can service the Trans and move on.

Thanks,

I just checked on ECS using part number 095325429D (which is just the trans filter). It says "no longer available". There are some showing up on eBay.

Here's the link if you're interested, has photos too so that you can be sure.

Have no idea what it should look like as I've not removed from the car. Wanted to get the parts before I strip it down.

Guess I'll have to call vw.

I will double check with my Haynes manual when I get home but I think that 01M was an evolution of the 096 auto transmission, so it would not surprise me if many parts are shared.

Just found this passage on wikipedia but would need to be double checked with a more technical source:

Before the 01M transmission, VW produced the 096 four-speed for Mk3 Golf/Jetta cars from 1992-1994. These cars will have a SPORT/ECONOMY switch near the shifter or on the dashboard to alter the shift points. Some of the 096 parts were held over for the 01M transmission, such as oil filter, oil pan, filler tube, gaskets, speedometer gears, skid plate, etc. These transmissions have different torque converters and many other internal parts that are not interchangeable.

Thought for the day - I see the 2.0 8v Neuspeed supercharger kits pop up for sale occasionally on Burnallthemk3s, would it be safe to say these would not work in a RHD car? Just purely judging by the S/C pulley sitting where the booster would be? Just seem fairly cheap for what they are, and would probably make a decently quick car with the right tune in a light bodied-car.

We don't have the same 8valve as they do. You would need a crossflow head before you think about stuff like that

Oh really, I thought they were all ABA?

[stefcio007]

Early days but stats show changing the ATF and filter has improved mileage (km-atage?) by ~1L/100km. Will have a better understanding once I have a tank of travelling to uni and back added in, so not getting my hopes up too high yet.

Also, does anyone know if the electric window regs are the same if only the last 2-3 digits plus the letter are different. They visually look the same but I'm taking my motor from my broken reg and putting it into the new reg, so would like to know before I go buying.

They are yeah. We only got ADY's and AGG's though.
