Mines a type 19, 1986 gti 8v and mine are the same, can't say it bothers me as I'm normally singing along to Craig David 

[stainesy]

so is mine a TYP19 then? its not a gti but a 1985 1.6 carb CL

in the winter i fit a longer wiper on the driver's side. it looks sh!t but clears more of the screen

Type19 is determined by the chassis number (look on VIN plate) wvwzzz19-x-xxnnnnnn where as later models will be wvwzzz1G-x-xxnnnnnn

someone decided to make their early mk2 golf sound more scene by declaring it a Type 19. its like referring to the later chassis model as a Type 1G

i.e. its a load of bóllocks.
