Caddy Bakkie 1.8 4 speed

[ScottiesKJ]

Hi guys

So a mate of mine is looking at selling his caddy bakkie which is in fairly good nic and i'm thinking of buying this. Now he says that its a 1.8 4 speed 1995 model? Could this be? I know there was a 1.8 4 speed model but were they still done up to 1995?

1995 should definately have been 5speed.

so 5th is just shot

No the gear box is a 4 speed only. even the knob says so

The guy doesnt know much he was sold the car as a 98 model later found out its a 95 model but i am beginning to think something is wrong here

Your buddy got trolled by a backyard mechy, good luck!

Gee the last time they were available as a 4speed was in like the early 80's. somebody has fked him over nicely. Take the vin number to vw and ask them to check what year that was made.

there are some differences on the linkage setup between 5 speed and 4 speed, why dont you guys look under the hood and see what box is in there? or even the box code could help.

He may have just had a shot 5th gear, sourced a 4 speed gearknob and fitted it and made him think otherwise.

This was my thoughts but wouldn't it have skinny bumpers? OK i know it could be changed to new spec. but wouldn't that model have come with
skinny front bumper?

The plastic bumper came out in 1981 already. You decide. Honestly, it's pretty easy. Post the vin number that is on it's registration paper or take it to vw and let them tell you the year it was made. No need to guess.

Or type the VIN number in one of these decoders:

So it turns out the Caddy is a 1992 Model.

If you can post the vin no I can tell u what model it is. U can leave out the last 5 digits for security reasons
