Unfortunately we have had massive problems with the return of old cores from Non-EU countries recently. Either we receive the old cores for high fees, or the packages are stuck in customs for months and then sent back to the sender.
Recently, a friend of ours complained about the missing all-wheel drive experience of his T4 Syncro. We thought of an aged T4 VC and offered to measure it on our test stand.
The deposit for an intact viscous coupling of the Golf / Passat Syncro is € 150.
Über gerissene Visco-Kupplungen hatten wir schon berichtet. Eine zerborstene Visco-Kupplung ist aber relativ selten. (more…)
These illustrated instructions for changing the viscous coupling show the installation situation on the VW Golf Country. The procedure is based on the VW repair manual “02C all-wheel drive” from 1997 and applies universally to:
One major challenge are spare parts since there are very little on the markets, we rely on old housings and are always on the search for them. As our process of refurbishment takes up a few housings we need them even in the future to get orders delivered immediately.
When you order one T4-VC and send us a second core in external good condition we can grant you a discount of 400 Euros. How we determine housings you can find here (https://vw-kern.at/blog/en/2020/05/01/pfandregeln-vc-t4-syncro/ )
We already published a first status report on the T4 Viscous Coupling in June 2019. Now we want to share the findings of the past year with you:
We are not experts for gear boxes, but we are frequently asked which gear oil we recommend for the T4 Syncro. In the following we would like to share the outcome of our research:
The deposit for an intact viscous coupling of the T4 Syncro is € 350.
