The Volkswagen Golf received very few and very minor upgrades for 1992. It was still available in three versions -- the two- or four-door GL hatchback, the GTI sports package, and the GTI 16V sports package with a more powerful engine. About the only noticeable upgrade was the fact that the radio on all models turned off with the ignition key, so drivers no longer had to turn it off using a control knob on the radio itself.
The GL hatchbacks came with a 1.8-liter inline 4-cylinder engine that generated 100 hp, while the GTI's 4-cylinder engine was goosed to 105 hp. The GTI 16V came with a 2.0-liter, 134-hp 4-cylinder engine. A five-speed manual transmission was standard across the line, while a three-speed automatic was available as on option on all packages except the GTI 16V.
Standard features were minimal and included power brakes, bucket seats, and a rear-window defroster. The GTI added power door locks, while tilt steering was available on both the GTI and the GTI 16V. Options included air conditioning, a manually operated sunroof, and a cassette player.
Driver satisfaction with the Volkswagen Golf was high, with drivers citing the car's handling, reliability, and acceleration as positive points. Negatives included the sound system and a lack of cupholders.
I've got a 1992 golf GL with an automatic transmission and a totaled 2001 Jetta with a manual and diesel TDI. I am looking at taking the engine and tranny out of my jetta and putting it into my golf. Does anybody have any tips or pointers? Anything i should know? PS after it's all said and done I will have a perfectly good gas engine and tranny for sale.
can not figure out how to put gas in tank, where is the lever to open it?
what oil grade do i use
I recently became a victim of bad roads which tore a enormous hole in my muffler. While I waited for my new muffler to arrive my car was deafeningly loud and would back fire when I slowed down. I, after driving around embarrassed for weeks , finally was the proud owner of a new muffler on my Little Go-Go, However it still back fires from time to time. Not nearly as often but always when i am slowing down to turn and the clutch is in neutral. Is this a sign of a big issue? Should I be concerned? I want to know ASAP so i might save my car if possible or repair before further damages.
volkswagen golf mk3 gti, what is the size of the engine? 1.8L 2.0 or how many liters?
