16v model year differences




My 88 16v has the 140 speedo without upshift light or oxs counter.  No 
chrome on door jambs. Has the lightbulb symbol for headlights, not the OE 
(that symbol is on high/low beam selector).  Hazard light switch says VW 91. 
  Always assumed that was a replacement by PO?

Just my $0.02
