Volkswagen MKII GTi / Golf Trivia Quiz

I loves my VeeDubs, all VeeDubs, but in my opinion, the US Mark II/A2 is not only the best VW Golf/GTi variant, but it's the sexiest looking one too!

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What years were the MKII/A2 Golf/GTi variant produced in?

Answer: 1985-1992

A quick way you can identify an MKII that was produced in 1985-1987 from the ones produced in 1988-1992 is the way the doors look. The 85-87's have "smaller doors",meaning the front windows are smaller, and have a small non-working window on the front corner of the door, making the doors look smaller.

2. What MKII/A2 Golf model is the rarest model made by VW?

Answer: G60 Limited

The total number of the G60 Limiteds produced was 71. They were so limited, that VW never gave them VIN numbers,but "serial numbers" instead. The G60 Limited came with a 1.8L 16-valve with a G60 Supercharger that pushed 210 HP and came as a 4-door variant and looked more like your grandma's Golf than a supercharged monster!

3. In what engine variants did the MKII/A2 Golf/GTis come?

Answer: 1.6L 8-valve; 1.8L 8-Valve & 16-Valve; 2.0L 16-Valve; 1.8L G60

Most stock MKII Golf/GTi's on the road are 1.8L 8-Valves.

4. This one's a bit more technical. What is the manual transmission code on most MKII's?

Answer: 02O

8-Valve or 16-Valve, the trannies are interchangeable with the 2 engines, but not interchangeable with a VR6 or a G60.

5. In the USA/Canada, how many generations were produced for the Golf/GTI, prior to 2000?

Answer: 4

The Mk1 lasted until 1983, followed by the Mk2 until 1992. The Mk3 was available from 1991 to 1999, with some overlap with the Mk4 (introduced in 1997). That was it for the 20th century, until the Mk5 premiered in 2003.

6. The VW engine family is interchangeable within the model ranges.

Answer: True

Plug and Play is the word on VWs! You might need to change the transmission depending on the engine you're using, ie. 16-Valve to a VR6 swap, but they'll fit!

7. Which Italian manufacturer provides stock seating for most MKII/A2s?

Answer: Recaro

Recaro provided either full leather, leather with cloth inserts, "pleather" or full cloth seats and door cards.

8. Which other VW Golf/GTi model generation shares similar components (suspension,transmission, etc.) with the MKII/A2?

Answer: MKIII/A3

Some of the MKIII's suspension that were produced from 1992-1993 can fit on MKII's. The chassis are similar, the MKIII's are just heavier and are shaped differently.

9. Which headlight type came stock on most US MKII's?

Answer: Aero/Square H3's

Most MKII's produced from 1985-1989 came with the square or Aero H3 Headlights (ugly as hell!). 1989 on, especially the GTi's came with the 4 Round H4's, 2 outer H4's, and 2 inner fog lamps integrated in the same grill.

10. Which other large European automobile manufacturer shares the same parts bin as Volkswagen?

Answer: Audi

You can take parts from an 1989 Audi 1000 and swap them on a MKII/A2 Golf. The etchings on the windows of my MKII GTi have both the VW logo and the 4 rings of Audi right next to it.
