Re: PD CONVERSION
the rear mount is identical dimensionally on B3/4 Passat & mk2/3 golf so this shouldn't be an issue
the turbo's outlet will foul an origonal aluminium mount bracket but the subframe & it's mount rubber will be fine

Re: Door lock electrical connections
I'm not 100% on this but.......
the switch on the door handle / lock is a secondary signal?
the vacuum actuator also has wiring with the drivers door being the 'master' and controlling the whole system
I think...

Re: B3 Passat 1.9 GL Body Panels
secondhand would probably be the easiest to find, New OEM is the sort of thing found in a dusty storeroom or ebay as VW have discontinued B3 parts from their spares lists
