Air con? We only have 1 hot month out of the 12.

I don't know about anybody else, but my air con is on all year round.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

I wouldn't say it's always on but i definitely use it for more than one month a year. I'm about to pick up a TDI estate workhorse which hasn't got A/C and i just know I'm going to miss it, luckily winter is just kicking in and il have a better specced wagon by the spring.

What I always say and would always take a Mk3 over any Mk2 including a Rallye!

1. ABS
2. Air-con

end of

would you have a mk3 over a tvr then?

Buy very good tyres and pay attention to the road and you wont need abs.
Air con? We only have 1 hot month out of the 12.

Seriously?
That's your argument?
So you can determine what others on the road do by paying attention to the road, can you?

I simply would not drive a car nowadays without ABS...it's a lifesaver.

You can get mk2's with A/C albeit not particularly often. 

This is correct  :cool:

And who gives a f**k about ABS.....oh yeah, our resident Geriatric. :rolleyes:

I do.

We used to drive sh!t cars that didn't corner or brake well.
We didn't used to have seatbelts.
Or power steering.
Or electric windows/cruise control/traction control/ESP etc.
...doesn't mean I'd choose to go back to those times now.

I don't think I can sell my Mk3. It's in mint condition and I have become really attached to it. If I go for a Mk 2 in the future it will be a 3 door ABF :cool:

well I may be looking for another mk3 at the year end... so it gives you a few months to consider your options as you might convince me yours is the one to buy? (as I want one similar to yours  :wink:)

So then can we fit mk3 abs unit into a mk2?

If you got a mk3 16v donor and swap everything over surely you can do the whole brake system?

Im not sure if the mk2 ever came with air con as an option but not buying a car because it doesnt have it? Seriously?
