VW Jetta Syncro 4x4

[425ci]

Here's another interesting car that my friend has just put on eBay. 18 years old now, so I think that qualifies as retro. Do you know of any other Jetta Synchros?

Em, they are more common than you would think.

One down the hill from me and this one I was looking at today.

Yes, I'm up to seven so far, including the other one on eBay and the ones mentioned in my other thread! And up until this one made an appearance I'd never seen one before!

How strong are these 4X4 systems ??
Can they take modified motors and become Psuedo Subaru/Evo's ?
Or did only 150 sell because they were just not up to it ?

Someone posted a link to a Syncro site on my thread in the General section. I had a look in their FAQ section and it says the 4x4 system can take 150bhp, or up to 200bhp if you are careful. There seems to be a lot that you can do to upgrade the drivetrain, according to what is on that site.

Finally went for £285. A very good price when compared with a couple of recent Jetta Syncro sales.

By the way, someone from one of the owners' clubs contacted my friend and confirmed that they only made 115 Jetta Syncros in RHD.
