Title: HELP..?
Post by: Lego Lo on 28 December 2010, 20:56

Be warned - noob here.

I am and have always been in love with Mk1 & Mk2 Golfs, and I've finally reached the point in my life where it's time to buy one. I've looked around on tinternet and this is about the only forum I can find specifically for Golfies.

SO HERES MY QUESTION..
I was wondering from which year onward (if at all) did Volkswagen install drivers airbags in Mk2's? I've been shopping around for a tidy Mk2 Golf - NON GTI (insurance reasons :() and I'm starting to question if it's not until the real later years (my guess is 1992/3..?) that drivers airbags started. If it really is non-existant in Mk2 days, what about Mk3?

Any information on Mk1's, 2's, 3's and even 4's airbag situation is MUCHLY appriciated :)

Cheerios

They put the airbags in the Mk3 > for pussy's.

Became standard issue in the Mark 3 as they are much better cars and quicker than Mark 2's so tended to be needed more !!!!!!  (Watch the Mark 2ers come ut in force now)  :grin: :grin:
Mark 2's are nice motors but Mark 3 is a much more practical everyday motor. I would like a Mark 2 for a weekend toy.
