Hi Volks, I can shed some light on the first aid kit business. The First Aid Kit is a standard European item. There have a "DIN" size and always the same size no matter what car or manufacturer. If you look at a BMW or a M.B. or a Porsche kit they will all be the same size and content. The are required by law in European countries. Ever wonder what the brackets in the trunk of your other VW's were for? Ever wonder why your VW or other German car had a tool kit an safety warning triangles? Well by law all cars in Europe must carry a First Aid Kit, Tool Kit and Safety Triangles, among other things. If they are not in your car when you have the annual safety inspection you will fail the inspection ! That's why in your other VW's or German cars you have these strange brackets in the trunk. There for the First Aid Kit ,and Safety Triangles, the tool kit is often found in the spare tire or on the trunk lid. The Kit is a universal item and can be bought at a German Auto Parts store for 10-20 Marks ($5-$10). It's only in N.A. where these items do not come with your car when you first buy it. If you buy a car in Europe these items al come with any new vehicle as standard item. Cheers Glen
