as far as i remember all VW's after 1979 had hardened valves and seats to run in countrys with less then premium fuel such as france so you should be fine.
can anyone confirm this for me?

All watercooled VW's are fine with unleaded fuel.

vw ran hard seat's and valves on all cars from around 76 i think as fuel in german sucked at the time.

It'll be fine, tank it and don't worry. Any mk1 will run on unleaded ( apart from diesels obviously )
I seem to remember any VW after '73 or '74 can run on unleaded.
