it is an approx figure for the GTi

they must all vary, as some have elec windows or PAS which all adds to the weight..

Figures taken from the 1990 VW Specification and Equipment listing:

Golf GTI 8v 3 door: 920kg
Golf GTI 8v 5 door: 940kg

Golf GTI 16v 3door: 960kg
Golf GTI 16v 5door: 980kg

I can't remember how heavy the Mk1's are, although 840kg seems to ring a bell.
