How to build your own Mk1 AWD in 7 steps // Mk1 4Motion

[@builtmk1795]

This is an awsome build bud. Great work , from a fan in South Africa.

Arm for the steering wheel that goes through the bulkhead/firewall is just called the steering shaft. Great informatiobal video! Have you seen people using the b4/b5 rack and wheel carriers for this swap?

[@Gateslicks]

Thank you! I think I have seen pictures of it when people do the quattro longitudinal swap:)

[@intrigue175175]

Great video! I've been wanting to do this to my caddy.

[@Gateslicks]

Awd Caddy ftw!

[@golf1vr6daredevil54]

Thanks 👌 👍 for the info

Hi really enjoying this video . Loads of great info. I was looking at fitting a 20vt from a mk1 tt into a vw corrado . What’s the difference between Synchro and 4 motion.

[@Gateslicks]

In short - the syncro system is older, it can't handle as much power and it can only send up to about 30% (if i remember correct) of the power to the rear. The 4Motion system can send up to 50% of the power to the rear, its possible to controll when and how much power is going to the rear and it can hold a great amount of power. And parts for 4motion is much easier to come by:)

Great video! Thanks for taking the time. Are you from Norway? Edit: I'm from UK, just got a Caddy I'm working on in Sweden. I would love to make it AWD

[@Gateslicks]

Thanks! Yes, I’m from and live in Norway. An Awd Caddy would be awesome 🙌

[@LondonLawBreaker]

Really good video, lots of useful information. I’m in the strip down phase of a Mk1 and a 1.8t. My intention was just a fwd build but now I’m thinking of pivoting slightly to incorporate an awd Haldex system after watching this 🤔. Did you have to weld in temporary brace bars when cutting out the drive tunnel in order to keep the body from warping? Keep up the great content!

[@Gateslicks]

Thank you! I didnt weld in brace bars. I had the car on the ground sitting on all four wheels when I cut the tunnel and also when I welded a tunnel back in. I didn't cut out more than necessary so the chassie would hold its shape:)

[@gordonb8052]

Keep up the good work. If you havent already make a video with the car and show in depth what was done, i'm sure people would be interested.

[@Gateslicks]

I will:)

[@skythetimelord]

Is it absolutely necessary for the wheel housing to be changed I've been dead set on this plan for a couple of months and have gotten down to collecting some parts for this set up now that I hear the wheel housing change this may change my mind

[@Gateslicks]

It's not absolutely necessary. I'm sure it's a way around this issue. In this video I got in more detail about why it makes it easier when changing wheel housing. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5ewi4uvpt1mpqc

Can i use the gearbox and rear drive train from the mk1 audi tt on my 2door?

[@Gateslicks]

Yes. I have used from S3 8L which is the same as the TT mk1

[@nelashharinarain3394]

Excellent video. Thanks for sharing.

[@JeezusChrist]

Bro, THANK YOU! This helped me tremendously.

[@Gateslicks]

Glad it helped!

Hi how did you get the heldex system to work without the abs

[@Gateslicks]

I’m using the SQS mechanical Haldex controller

[@katisotaabe85]

Great video and info. I didn’t follow any of the usual methods. I used a gen2 haldex from an audi tt mk2. I couldn’t use the subframe bcoz it was way too big for the mk3 vr6 golf. So I built a jig and used that to fabricate my version of the gen2 rear subframe to fit my MK3 vr6 golf. It was a lot of work. I had to custom make all the end links and suspension components. And im using a pushrod suspension setup at the back. I have not tested it yet as im still busy with the front work. Thanks once again for the video,,,great confidence booster 😊

[@Gateslicks]

Sounds like an awesome build you’re working on!

[@gaming4l835]

How did you get the heldex system to work

[@katisotaabe85]

@@gaming4l835 hi there,,,i will be using the emu black ecu,,,it has a pwm functionality to control the gen 2 haldex. I will also be using an external pwm dc controller solenoid to turn it on and off,,,

[@rayjay1503]

If its too big for mk3 then it sure wont work for mk1. Which was my idea 😂 I was planning on just cutting out the entire mk2 tt floor and put my mk1 onto it lol what's your thoughts on this?

[@katisotaabe85]

Make your own subframe🙈,,,sounds like you don’t shy away from a challenge
