Be gentle... I have a new Mk2

OK, what about SEAT ibiza and Toledo models which have child restraint mounting points in the boot floor as the are Aussie delivered.

BUT if you want to import a Golf 2, with points in the same place, you have to have a bar fitted between the towers with the restraint points on it.

I agree syncro that you are correct according to the letter of the law, but I have seen a lot of imports and they do not all conform to the same rules.

The Australian delivered Golf 2 all had the bar between the shock mounts. I don't know of any other child mounts in a Golf 2.

My Golf 2 had a 6mm bolt on a tag just above the tail light as a child mount. I don't know where that engineer got his degree! (I saw the report.)

Yeah you are right Phill, the Aussie ones all have the bar between the towers.

However, the Uk ones had a bolt on the floor and no bar, the S.A ones had a blt on the floor or nothing and some of the imports have an aftermarket bar between the towers.

There is no conformity to the rules. that is my point. Particulartly with relation to the South African Cars.

We seem to have drifted a long way from the topic too!

No, it's a Volkswagen standard.
Put a larger earth cable on and a few extras to the engine block while you are at it.

Yeah Phill is right a fat earth lead from the bolt holding the starter or somewhere nearby to the chassis works wonders for starting.
