I've got the original Stereo and Hand book for mine, it only got taken out earlier this year with all the original wiring in place and unmolested  :smug:








TBH I don't know if it is the original  :tongue: It's a Panasonic jobby though and looks an 80's part.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

If your car was ordered from the factory to include a radio/cassette, then it would have most probably have been a Blaupunkt, many dealers on the other hand though, did like to fit either Sony or Panasonic as an upgrade.. If you wanted to go for retro fitting though, then I'd go for the Blaupunkt, it'll be the one most likely to still work properly after all these years! they do come up on Ebay for next to nothing. and should look something like this, http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/casadelshawn/radios20070131/DSC_0117.jpg
later models had smaller knobs :laugh:

I've also got a totally standard runout 8v GTI.  It came with a Panasonic CQ HO5EE fitted.  I think this may have been an upgrade fitted by the dealer during PDI. It also came with an electric ariel which i know was not fitted as standard.  :smiley:

Oh by the way, 180,000 hard driving and still on the original clutch!!!!!!!!!! Can anyone beat that? 

that's because the 8v doesn't have enough power or torque to wreck clutches.

not exactly true - i consider myself a smooth driver (not a clutch wrecker) and my old 8v went through a clutch in 10k, was fitted by my ex`s old man who was/is an mot tester... the one i fitted after that lasted 2 days, then someone wrote off the car by hitting it up the rear
well atleast they saved you the job of changing the clutch again :tongue:
