Standard and Optional Equipment '92 8 valve
« on: 01 February 2009, 12:21 »
Hello all I am just getting to use this site and it is incredibly useful so well done to all involved.

I am trying to put the car back to standard and wondered if there was any place posted that would list the standard equipment and optional equipment.

For instance I have 5 spoke 15" VW alloys that I believe were an option but would like to confirm. Bee sting option I believe. Sorry no picture.

Interior: heated seats, electric rear windows, leather bound wheel.

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Regards
Will

I've just been looking at late model GTI's on my hunt for my latest one.

The general spec on J reg 8 valves were, power steering, electric front windows, tinted rear lights, front door speakers ans 15" BBS RA's.

Some of the ones I saw had electric rears (5 door) headlight washers, electric mirrors and rear head rests. I can only assume that those were options.

Would 5 spoke alloys be an option. I am not sure what they are called, but they have VW centre caps and I am sure that I have seen them on other Golfs. Will try to get picture.

6 speaker stereo, Definately standard eh?

Speakers, 2 in the dash. 2 in the front doors. 2 in the rear.
I currently have a car that I am constantly upgrading with OEM. Anything that comes up on ebay or similar that was fitted as an option by VW, I try and get hold of. Now looking for a recarro interior!

Its a bit difficult to describe but the normal horn push has diagonal lines on it, the runout horn is the same finish as the rest of the steering wheel, i will get a picture of mine at some point

I thought it was a horn logo rather than a vw logo, or vice versa

My J Reg MK2 Golf hasn't got front electric windows so must have been an option surely? :undecided:

Its only the late j plates that got electric windows as as standard, im not sure 100% when they came as standard but they were definately standard as i have a late 92 brochure and its listed as standard
