Dieselvolk,
This afternoon I had some time to trouble-shoot the central locking system on
my '87 wagon. The system had not worked correctly from purchase in 2004.
Initially only the driver's door lock would activate the system. The rear hatch
lock tumbler is damaged and the key won't turn it,
I agree, I think its euro also. I noticed a few other differences besides the
hubcaps: Curved euro trailer hitch, no nets on seat backs, 2 piece bumper
rubber, no wood in shifter console, white dipstick, no front fan which probably

The interior photo doesn't do it justice - the wife complains because she keeps
wanting to turn off the lights when she leaves the room (but she likes the

I have this pretty nice Sony receiver I bought a coupla years ago off CL
