    Can anyone answer this for me please (sorry if it been ask b4 loads of times) but how comes some Mk3's are four stud wheel and some 5 stud , myself presumed it was to do with say early Mk3's were 4 stud as perhaps VW using leftovers of Mk2 bits and as the later Mk3's came along they changed to 5 stud as they was changing over to the Mk4's , but whats been confusing me is I have seen some early Mk3's with 5 stud and 4 stud and late ones with 4 stud like R reg ones even [:s] , the reason I ask this is that every time I see any alloys that I like for my GTI and can afford , they always seem to be 4 stud LoL

    thanks for any info :thumbup:

    As far as I know, CL, GL & GT Golfs are 4 stud, regardless of the year.
    GTI's, VR6's & GTI TDI's are 5 stud regardless of the year.

    As above, except TDIs are also 4 stud. The GTI, 16v and VR6 are always 5 stud. Note the Vento and Cabrio with the 2.0 8v 'GTI' engine are also 4 stud, and not badged as a GTI either.

    Yep, they do exist. Annis was available with 8v & 16v gti engines and the 110hp TDI (AFN). I've seen two GTI TDI's in flesh and they do have the 5 lug running gear.

    Didn't realize that these were not available in the UK. :thumbup:

    If you want to go with a TDI anniversary, i would try and search for the Austrian one.

    Only 20 Jahre (anniversary) part from UK, That got it limited:
