Is the VW pickup RWD or FWD?

[HyperNut]

What do you think of the vw pickups? Are they RWD, FWD? Do they handle well?

[jettadude]

RWD, i had a plan to make my jet RWD by taking the parts from it but i heard that its really weak, and wouldn't hold up to well. and to turn your engine would be a bitch 2.

[HyperNut]

if its rwd then couldn't one of thoes 5 cylinder 20 valve turbo audi motors fit it?

[Mr_Diesel]

All wheel drive, gentlemen.

[Mr_Diesel]

Asuming that you are talking about the new one that is coming out and not the rabbit truck... Rabbit trucks are Front wheel driven.

[HyperNut]

i thought that there was a mk2 version of the pickup

[jettadude]

yea me 2, and i thought that they were RWD!? :?

[HyperNut]

Yeah, because i wanted to take that 300 hp engine and drop it into that thing and watch it scream.

[jettadude]

well if it is FWD then it would transplant into a jet right?

My family has owned a couple of them there FWD.

it just has a regular 8v in it nothin special

i have a friend who drives one with a 16v dropped in it heh

[HyperNut]

the 300 hp engine i was talking about was the audi 5cylinder 20v turbo, which i have been told was 300 hp stock

[jettadude]

ahhhh that makes alot more sense.

[HyperNut]

yeah, that motor looked to me to be the standard 16v 4 cylinder of vw, only with one more cylinder added on, and a turbo. The only problem is that its made for an audi, not a vw, and i think it was diesel who said it needed to be turned for a fwd car, like a jetta. Ive only seen the motor on the awd audi cars.

You might be able to get a fox tranny do a few mods and make it work... YOu'll probably have to bring the front bumper and grille forward a few inches to compensate.
