mk1 golf cab 1.8 gli 1991

I am having trouble with the French reg authorities supplying information
regarding the weights of the vehicle to register in France.
the sticker off the door pillar is missing which should have the weights on,
any body got the same vehicle and could tell me the weights?
they are listed as
1/
2/
3/
4/
the vin plate is German and only shows front and rear axle weight
and I think unladen weight.
car is 1991 1.8GLi cab
manys thanks.

Um, what's the question (insert dumb girl look here)?

I have a 91 GLi 1.8 French cabby. I can look for more info if you can tell me where I can find it. Not even sure if I have the original book the car came with. I dislike this car immensly and wish I had my Rivage back :O(

thanks for replying
the information i need is on a silver sticker that should be on the drivers door pillar or could you look on your carte gris it might be there
it is the axle weights and laden and unladen weights i need
cheers ,david.

Okay, the sticker on the door gives me tyre pressures only. If you're interested, they're:

Half load: Front: 1.9/28    Rear: 1.9/20
Full load:  Front: 2.1/31    Rear: 2.4/34
Emergency: 4.2/60

The bonnet plate gave me some weight info but I don't know if it's what you're after. I've got:

Gross vehicle weight: 1350 kg
Gross comb. weight: 2550 kg
Axle front: 0775
Axle rear: 0630

The plate listed the type as 155DX2 (I think that means it's a cabriolet something).


Some of those figures are listed on my carte grise, as follows:

(F.2) 1350
(F.3) 2550

The back of the carte grise gives me these definitions for the numbers:

(F.2): Masse en charge maximale admissible du v?hicle en service dans l'?tat membre d'immatriculation (en kg)

(F.3): Masse en charge maximale admissible de l'ensemble en service dans l'?tat membre d'immatriculation (en kg)

I can't see anything else that mentions axles in French, but if there's something I've missed, just let me know. My carte grise is beside me.

BRILLIANT I NEW SOMEONE WOULD HELP ME
THE F2 AND F3 FIGURES ARE THE ONES I HAVE MISSING
THANKS AGAIN

another question has cropped up
on your carte grise what is the engine power output
type 2H engine in kW
and is your insurance group 9cv
thanks again
david

I have nothing listed for my output, but P3  is listed as ESW and my puissance is an expensive number 9.

I think we are possibly the only two people on this entire forum with a matching French cars.

thanks again
looks like i now have all the info needed
unless the French Authorities know better  :roll:

Hey a quick question for you this time, since I'm having just a few electrical issues…

Do you have a fog light button on the right of your dashboard? And do you have yellow high beams? If you have both these, is there a difference between your high beams and your fog lights? My fog light button seems to do absolutely nothing at all.

no sorry has, only got rear fogs and white head lights, the car was german reg then uk reg now going to be french.

Oh well - it was worth a shot. Thanks anyway!

thanks for your help last year now have the car on french plates and in the uk for the summer
