What head?
« on: 14 December 2010, 20:41 »
I need to replace the head on my VW 1982 Mk1 Golf GTI...

Can anybody tell me if there is a specific number on the head I need to be aware of?

I'm currently looking on the bay and wish to ensure I don't buy the wrong thing.  My current head is at the engineers so I don't have it to hand to check myself.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers
