hello Molly, I wanted to show a little appreciation for a splendid video about the history and specs of the Golf GTI I’ve dreamt about as early as grade school. Love from across the pond, California. ❤
I'm sure someone has changed the engine in that car probably for a Mk3 Gti engine (could just be the rocker cover is different). Also the interior is lovely and warm until the heater matrix inevitably explodes ( if you're lucky it may have been replaced already). I had 2 8 Valves many years ago 😀
Hi mate (the owner here), it is the original PB engine except with a G60 rocker cover fitted. I replaced the heater matrix not long after having the car however I noticed it had been replaced in the late 90’s from the production date stamped. 👍🏼
Hi Ben yes i thought someone had done that. I had my 1985 Golf GTi heater matrix replaced in 1997 (where did all the years go eh?) Unfortunately i stuck that car in a ditch in 1999 and ripped the rear axle off it!
such a lovely example

My partner changed the heater matrix matrix the month after having it just to make sure but think it had last been changed in the late 90s though. 😀
Good to hear that Molly 😀

@@jamesarculus9657 hi James, i hope you made it out of the ditch unscathed! They are great cars though, great build quality.
