  • Why no cigarette lighter?

    Are all aussie mk2's the same?

    If you don't have power windows, in behind the draw for the ash tray in the center console. Not sure where it is if you have power windows though.

        I thought the power windows took up that part of the center console? from the few aussie import models i've seen im sure they do.

          There is a little cubby hole on keep fit window models, that is blanked off when electric ones are fitted.

                Our Australian delivered Gti had no lighter. As I recall (it was a few years ago now) all the wiring is in behind the panel. I just put a cheap after market one in to recharge the mobile phone.

                          I used to own an Aust delivered '90 GTI manual & it didn't have a cig lighter.

                          Understand how it works, troubleshoot logically BEFORE replacing parts.

                              Yep I have a '90 import and no cigarette lighter, which suits me fine.

                              Still, didnt stop a previous owner(or friend) from burning a hole in the passenger seat.
