Title: Standard and Optional Equipment '92 8 valve
Post by: Quattro100 on 01 February 2009, 12:21: Hello all I am just getting to use this site and it is incredibly useful so well done to all involved.

I am trying to put the car back to standard and wondered if there was any place posted that would list the standard equipment and optional equipment.

For instance I have 5 spoke 15" VW alloys that I believe were an option but would like to confirm. Bee sting option I believe. Sorry no picture.

Interior: heated seats, electric rear windows, leather bound wheel.

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Regards
Will

The general spec on J reg 8 valves were, power steering, electric front windows, tinted rear lights, front door speakers ans 15" BBS RA's.

Some of the ones I saw had electric rears (5 door) headlight washers, electric mirrors and rear head rests. I can only assume that those were options.

Standard it should have 15'' bbs ra, rainbow interior, 140mph speedo, a different horn push, electric front windows, 6 speaker stereo, half tint rear lights, wing mounted aerial, power steering

6 speaker stereo, Definately standard eh?

what's different about the horn push?

I currently have a car that I am constantly upgrading with OEM. Anything that comes up on ebay or similar that was fitted as an option by VW, I try and get hold of. Now looking for a recarro interior!

Its a bit difficult to describe but the normal horn push has diagonal lines on it, the runout horn is the same finish as the rest of the steering wheel, i will get a picture of mine at some point

Post by: dubber36 on 02 February 2009, 11:25: Does anyone know if the wiring is in for electric windows?

I've just bought a 90 Greg 16V (getting it tomorrow) with windy windows and would like to upgrade.
