Title: All GTI's had central locking?
Post by: Organisys on 26 October 2011, 21:25
Did all mk2 GTIs have central locking?
I think all the 90 spec did yeah ?
But how about the pre 90 and early GTIs?

Not all 90 spec's AFAIK - unless the odd one I've had have had hem removed...

Dunno about Pre 90 Spec - but my '88 5 door didn't have it fitted...

I broke a 90 Spec GL & it was Fully Loaded - PAS, CL, EW & Electric Mirrors (Which are now on my sons car!)

& I have a 90 Spec 16V GTI That was Fully Loaded, PAS, CL, EW x 4 , EM & Headlamp Washers... Must have cost someone a bundle...

My old 89 8V had it at some point. The pump in the boot and some of the plumbing was still in. One of it's previous owners must have attacked it for some reason.

Balls, seems I may have lost a 'discussion'.

 :laugh:

Does seem to be run out only then that for locking as standard, although I think the vast majority of cars seem to have had it specced from new in my experience?

My G reg has got it, nowhere near run out model. Also has PAS.

According to my cars original sales brochure (1990 G) 16V's had central locking as standard and it was optional on 8V's.

I would imagine most owners would have ticked the option box on the 8V order form though.

I bet someones got some somewhere.

My car is a own previous owner one, with every scrap of paper, order form, brochure, the lot. It's even still got the original dealer fitted plates. When I bought it, I thought it would be great to have an original window sticker and tax disc holder, so I rang the original dealer on the off chance. They told me they had moved to new premises 18 months before, and chucked boxes and boxes of old stuff just like that away. Sods law eh?

My 1986 8V GTI has central locking  , all electric windows & alloy P slots as standard
IIRC VW were initially  generous , then got a bit tighter as the GTI sold like hot cakes  :grin:

but towards the end of MK2 , they again got generous , to shift the run out models

before the MK3  :lipsrsealed:
