Axle widths

Postby gavcarter » Fri Jul 21, 2017 10:30 am

So the mk6 project is getting there, final bits of welding and then a quick spray over left to do. I am using a mk5 in the meantime and to be honest I think I like the 5 better!
If I take on the mk5 as a project I want to change diff and turbo it as it very slow and motorway use is terrible. It has 4.56 diff and is comfortable up to about 60. I'd like to be cruising at 70 without revving it's tits off...

As mk6 axles are a lot easier to get hold off I am wondering anyone has the widths to hand? Save me crawling under both my vans in the wet?

The mk5 is a single wheel 14"

The tallest ratio in a mk6 is 4.63... not much taller than you already have.

Keep an eye out for a 4.11 or even 3.9 diff to suit yours?
