See this is what ya get, maybe's! Yes I have heard that the late model Mk2 's were laced with extras to sell em off. But nobody seems to be able to confirm it!
As for ebay well........

oh my god len, let it go!! air con and ABS were options on mk2 golfs, but very few have them as they were crazily expensive option back in the early 90's. f**k me you're one for pursuing a lost cause!  :rolleyes:

Now the mk2 handles well is nice and light, with 16v is no slouch and I reckon for a car of 15 years plus it doesn't do to badly again the modern competion, and it is a car that with stands alot of abuse. After all how many 205 gti do you see now, apart from if you work at a breakers.

aye i owned a 205 gti for 7 years , and compared to the reliabilty of my golf , it was s**t!!! , given i owned it before the golf too as well that says it all imo , the pug had 88k on it when i got it and i replaced soo much on it through the years i had an A4 folder full of reciepts , now my golf has 168k on the clock , last two mot's its gone through with out a problem and is still as strong as an ox , ive not had to do much work on it either. says it all imo about the mk2 :)

my mk2 8v is at 216k (!) and passed its MOT first time last week despite needing the subframe re-attaching to the chassis 2 months ago  :huh: :grin:

first car ive owned thats gone straight through!! and funnily enough it has twice the miles on the clock than the rest!


I don't think a semi will give the same results
