[Vwdiesel] I am looking for passat wagon info

[raymond greeley]

hello all, while My search for a passat wagon has ended, the maintanance/updating has just begun. what i purchased is a 1990 gas converted to na 1.6 dieselmanual trans in fair to good condition with 265k on the body and approx 25k on the motor. some interesting details/condition. i am in chicago the vw has been tooling around the wisc to ohio  regions most of it's life.the shift pattern is said to be canadian spec (reverse of what we know ) with tall highway gears as it cruse's well at 65mphit has billestines from a vr6, (all this info is yet to be determined) and so it sits high with space between the tire tops and the fender well's.i expect to use for local and highway and felt i would keep a set of rims available with taller tires on them. the 195r70's turn the speedo at 95 miles per 100 miles at the  highway markers.    has anyone had any problems running 205r70's.i recall seeing someone speaking of aftermarket cruise control.lastly, for now, i am wondering which parts will interchange for example: doors from a 4 door sedan, hood, fenders and interior components
I am so glad to have found some depository for all my transverse mount engine/trans parts.
