I'm told this is a pretty rare setup?I bought it and had to replace some coolant sensors and a thermostat but nothing major. The only thing that bothers me is the stock clutch and turbo.

just picked it up. Replaced a few sensors and cracked check valves. Front end kit coming. Guess it's a pretty rare car? It's got 140k on it. How long should I expect to get outta the clutch and stock turbo?

Greetings. I want to tear down a passat 012 5 speed manual tranny to separate the bellhousing for some machine work (15mm shaved from the face). Ultimately this tranny will end up in my 1976 Westy, flipped and connected to a PD100 tdi. I don't want to buy a bentley manual for this (hopefully)...

Whenever I go on/off the throttle abruptly, or sometimes just driving over an irregular surface, I can feel the shifter move a fair amount. I'm wondering if this is fairly typical or if I have a motor or tranny mount on its way out? 118k miles on the car so far. Rob
