VW Syncro Engine and Trans Rebuild
Рет қаралды 315
10 ай бұрынOver the winter and while we were off having a baby, my van spent some considerable time in the shop having the 2.1l water boxer engine and the Syncro trans axle completely rebuilt. I considered swapping the OEM motor for a 2.5l Subaru, but I prefer something I or any semi-competent VW shop, can work on to a Frankenstein Van. The Subie Swaps have amazing power, but they go through Syncro transaxles like butter, and I don’t want to have to worry about that while on vacation with the wife and baby in tow or deal with the $$$ ramifications.
I have 5k miles on the rebuilt power-plant and I am really happy with the work and the confidence that I have in the van to get me to where I am going and back home without using a tow truck as an intermediary.
The work on the engine was done by Parnell Autowerks in Bend, OR

The Transaxle was done by Syncroshop, between Salem and Portland, OR

Thank you! I love my Syncro’s. I’m a masochist and it’s like dating to the craziest girlfriend you ever had at the same time.

Thank you they are becoming the bane of my existence. Like having two crazy girlfriends at the same time. Lots of fun, a little scary, and full of surprise expenses. I’m prepping for a huge weeklong camping event, and I started having phantom wire issues and an engine fault that are completely unrelated to each other. I have two days until I have to be at an event 150 miles from home, full of gear. Just going in the van and I may have to sacrifice something cute and furry to the VW guides to assure I don’t have any issues there or back.😁
