MK1 golf identification and other bits **Pics are up**

[golfpro]

tis quite nice that, more doors than id like but what the hell, you drive a mk1 golf, i bloody dont 

[Deefadog]

Yeah i would have prefered a 3 door, but we have a baby, so it had to have 5 doors!

got the central locking kit going in soon, should make things alot easier

I have got a MK1 Cabrio, 83, GTi. To be honest, the engine layout, clutch cable routing, etc looks similar to my engine bay. I recognise the MK3 water bottle. Looks like a cocktail of MK1, MK2 & MK3 bits (may be).

Anyway, GSF still stock MK1 bits.

Looks nice........

Thanks mate, did you notice the big cable going from the screen wash pump? it goes through the bulk head all the way through the car and connects up below the drivers rear light cluster! and it's an old round heavy duty 13Amp cable, probablly off a lawn mower LoL

I have no idea why it is going all the way to the rear though! Like it's getting power from the lights?

Has anyone got any close up shot of a similar engine bay?

It's called a Citi Golf btw, they are still producing them today in South Africa.

[Deefadog]

Yes mate, i knew that, i was going to import a new one, but then thought i'd save my self 12 grand and got this one

Any idea why the washer power is going to the rear cluster?

[alpesh]

Cant tell from the picture but the washer bottle might be feeding the rear windscreen washer jets....... dunno.

Are u sure its a Citi model - I thought they were fuel injected. The engine in the pic doesnt appear to be fuel injected.

You can get the Citi Golf a 1.6i (Sport) a 1.4i or just 1.4, all 5 door models.

alpesh, it's citi golf (chico  model), but it's a 1996 (n reg), before they did alot of updating on them, so i have the original mk1 dash etc, which is what i wanted

it's a 1.3L carb btw, but is very nippy! as it weighs about 4 stone

Hello, nice looking car. Although i've never liked those c pillar scallops on the citi  But then yours has mint looking paint!

Sorry to post other forums on here, but the www.vwgolfmk1.org.uk is a great place for mk1 owners of all types, I know there is definatly a few citi owners aswell 

cheers
