[T3] Brake Calipers

[Dave Hall]

I've not looked at the latest UK ones - our late October 2008 (late Mk 5)
Golf Hatchback was made in Wolfsburg, but we bought that used.  Our 1999
Jetta Wagon was made in Osnabruck, by Karmann.  That was probably because
the Wolfsburg factory had already changed to the Mk IV Golf, and Karmann was
picking up the RHD Mk III estate/Variant production.  So I guess we've a T3
Variant as well as a Type 3 Variant!

Ours was ~ $27,500, but the US now gets ours from Puebla, Mexico. Do yours
still come from Germany?

And, yes, ours came with the 2.0 L TDI engine. That price also included the
dual shift gearbox, which was extra, but no other US options. There may have
been other standard features which happen to be options in the UK, or vice
versa.
