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
