Volkswagen Golf Mk7 Owners Manual: Introduction

This introduction explains where to find each type of Volkswagen Golf Mk7 technical reference — vehicle identification data, engine data, dimensions and performance figures — and makes one point clear up front: the vehicle data sticker in the service schedule or the vehicle registration documents, not the tables in this booklet, tell you definitively which engine is fitted to your specific car.

This chapter contains information on the following subjects:

 → Vehicle identification data  

 → Engine data
