Different Fuse box covers for 8v GTI?
« on: 24 November 2008, 21:21 »
Does anyone know if there is a difference between the fuse box cover on a 1991 8v GTI (J reg) and a 1987 one (E reg). I have been sent the latter (Ebay purchase) and it is very different to that on my 1991 GTI (about twice as deep-and hence won't fit)? Trying to check if I have made an error. VW Dealer cannot help as both items have been deleted from the VW Parts system.

This is the older one, if anyone can recognise it.



Many thanks.

Many thanks. As I suspected, looks like I have goofed!

Anyone needing a pre-90's fusebox cover let me know.

i have a post-90 one in good condition if you still need one?


I don't think a semi will give the same results
