VOLKSWAGEN GOLF GTI MK1 AND MK 2 (1977-1992)大众高尔夫GTI组mk1队、2(1977年至1992年)
Very few cars can lay claim to spawning an entire market sector, but the Volkswagen Golf GTi is one of them.很少有汽车可以声称整个产卵场业但大众高尔夫GTI组便是其中之一. Before we even started referring to cars of its ilk as ?hot hatches?以前我们甚至开始谈到轿车作为其之流?热门舱口? they were simply called GTis.他们干脆叫大型技术. For a while in the early eighties it seemed that almost every mainstream manufacturer had a hatch badged GTi on their books, riding on the coat tails of the Golf?s phenomenal success.一时间,在八十年代初看来几乎每一个主流厂商都在其舱口badgedGTI组图书骑在大衣尾巴的高尔夫?收盘惊人的成功. As with any such iconic car, a cult following has grown up around the Volkswagen Golf GTi and whilst today?s versions are supremely well built and laden with luxury and safety features the two versions we examine here, the Mk1 and Mk2 cars are what most purists would refer to as ?real?正如任何这类图标车上长大后的邪教周围福士高尔夫GTI组虽然今天?收盘道出身材版本的豪华和安全特征与载货两种版本细看这里<mk1和MK2在车将它称为最类似?真实? Golf GTis.高尔夫大型技术. The early Mk1 cars are the collectors items but the 16v version of the Mk2 is still the car most enthusiasts would point to as the car that marked the greatest GTi moment.早期的收藏家mk1车项目,但仍16v版的MK2在车内最喜爱的汽车,将点着最大GTI组时刻.
HISTORY历史
Few who attended Volkswagen?s stand at the 1975 Frankfurt Motor Show would have any inkling of the significance that the Golf Sport study would eventually have.数出席福士?收盘站在1975年法兰克福汽车展将有一二高尔夫运动的意义,也总有一天要学习. Sold in Germany as the GTi in 1976, Volkswagen UK began importing it in left hand drive guise in 1977.但GTI在德国售出的1976年开始进口它在英国福士左手打着驱动1977 It was still a very basic car, with metal bumpers and an interior that was extremely stark.它仍是一个非常基本的汽车,有金属保险杠,以及内陆极为严酷. Volkswagen?s idea of a refinement was a push button radio with one speaker.福士?细化是一个概念与一个发言按钮值. Nobody really caught on to the genius behind the car until 1979 when right hand drive versions became available.无人甚嚣尘上的背后天才右驾驶汽车,直到1979年版本开始生效. Within two years the GTi had spawned a host of imitators such as the Ford Escort XR3, the Talbot Sunbeam Ti and the Vauxhall Chevette 2300HS.两年GTI学院曾引起许多杂志,如福特护送xr3,塔尔博特和钛的新光路上chevette2300hs. These were in turn followed by cars like the Vauxhall Astra GTE and the Peugeot 205 GTi.然后把这些人就像狂暴雅特轿车和标致205GTI组效能感.
A five-speed gearbox was introduced in 1979 and a revised interior made an appearance in 1981.5速变速箱在1979年推出了外观和内部调整1981. The following year the GTi got alloy wheels and in 1983 came the major development of the Mk 1 car when the 1.6-litre engine was replaced by a 112bhp 1.8-litre engine.次年GTI学院获得合金车轮和1983队来到大开发的轿车在一月1.6公升112bhp发动机取代了1.8升发动机. Although enthusiasts note that the old 1.6 was a sweeter and more driveable powerplant, the extra torque of the 1.8 (109 vs 85lb/ft) made it a swifter performer.虽然爱好者看到,旧一月六日是甜多driveable电厂、额外的扭矩1.8(10985lb/ft队)作出了迅速演员.
While the 1979 Golf GTI was the original right hand drive hot hatch, the 1983 Golf GTI Campaign was the limited edition run-out model of the Mk1 GTI and to many has become the most desirable. Based on a standard 3-door Golf Mk1, but with 112bhp Bosch injected engines, there was 112-115mph top speed, acceleration and roadholding to match.而1979年是高尔夫GTI组原右驾驶热舱口,1983高尔夫运动限量版GTI组磨合出的模式,已成为许多mk1GTI组及最可取的.根据标准3门高尔夫mk1,但112bhp博什注入发动机,有112-最高速度115mph,加速度和roadholding匹配. The Campaign continued the no nonsense approach that had become taken for granted on all Mk1 Golf GTIs.持续的运动方式,已成为无废话一切视为理所当然mk1高尔夫大型技术. There were no automatics, five doors, or wide wheels.有没有这种自动五门或宽轮子. There were only ever a thousand Campaigns delivered to the UK. 只有不断运往英国1000战役.
The Golf MkII GTI arrived in February 1984, a bigger and heavier model and while it lost some of the original lines, it updated the model and took the Golf into the 1980s; indeed it is one of the cars that defines the 1980s.高尔夫球mkiiGTI组抵达1984年2月,越来越沉重而失去一些模型和原线路最新资讯示范和进入八十年代为高尔夫;其实这是本世纪80年代,它确定轿车. Who can forget that Paula Hamilton advert?谁能忘记汉密尔顿保拉广告? The wheel-base was lengthened by 75 mm, and the overall length increased by 170 mm and the width by 55 mm.车轮垒被加长了750毫米,而总长度增加了170毫米,宽55毫米. The car's weight increased from 840 kg to 920 kg, yet it wasn't any the more sluggish for it.汽车的重量由840公斤上升到920公斤,但又没越低迷. Indeed, thanks to its new rounded edges, drag was dramatically reduced.事实上,由于其新四舍五入边缘,是大幅度减少阻力. The GTI was pretty much as the standard car, except for disc brakes fitted all round.但GTI不相上下的是轿车为标准,除圆盘刹车装全能. The 1.8 engine still produced 112 bhp at 5800 rpm, reached 60 mph in just over eight seconds and had a new top speed of 119 mph.180发动机112BHP公司在5800年仍快速原型制作、60秒、80主机刚刚进行了新主机的最高时速达119.
The spec for UK cars was generous at first, including Pirelli slotted alloys and sunroof - although these were deleted from the three-door and transferred to the five-door version, which arrived in February 1985.英国车是慷慨的光谱起初包括Pirelli公司和天窗,合金缝--虽然这些都是删三转门五门版1985年2月抵达. From February 1987, ABS brakes became optional.从1987年2月,ABS的刹车成了择. In August, in came a new shape grille, left-hand parking wipers and central rear Volkswagen badge, while out went the front quarter-light.在8年来的新形格栅,左刮水器、手环后方停车福士警徽虽然进入了前两季的光芒. The 8-valve now had Bosch Digifant engine management and new trim, and the five-door got steel wheels as standard.8气门发动机,现在已经博什digifant管理和新浪、五门得钢车轮标准. Special equipment models in the summer of 1988 celebrated production of 10 million Golfs.特种设备模式1988年夏天,庆祝生产1000万golfs. The spec included seven-spoke alloys, central locking, and multi-stripe trim and tinted rear lights.该谱包括七个讲合金、中央锁、多色彩、条纹修剪后方灯光. Available in Helios Blue, metallic black and Oak Green, they proved a big success.蓝太阳刊物、黑色金属、绿橡树,证明大成功.
In August 1989, the so-called big bumpers arrived; whilst on the mechanical front, a catalytic converter became optional - but 12-hole steel wheels were now standard.1989年8月,所谓的大保险杠抵达;虽然在机械方面,催化转换成了择但12孔钢轮子现在的标准. October 1990 and power steering, tinted glass and central locking were fitted to the 8-valve.1990年10月,助力转向,中央和茶色玻璃被锁定装置的八瓣. 1991 was the run-out year for the model, so in October the equipment package was up-rated to include BBS alloy wheels, partially smoked rear light lenses, electric front windows and 16-valve-style rainbow upholstery.1991年举办了一年示范、整套设备等达10级,包括网路合金车轮,后方轻局部熏镜片电动窗门前,16气门式彩虹座垫. Metallic paint finish was now a no-cost option.金属漆完成后是一个无成本的选择. The MK2 model range was officially discontinued in February 1992.MK2在模型的范围为1992年2月正式中止.
September 1986 was when Wolfsburg gave us the 16-valve Golf.1986年9月,是给我们当沃尔夫斯堡16气门高尔夫球. The only clue that this had eight valves more than the standard GTI was a bright red badge below the logo - and if you took a tape measure to it, you'd find it 10 mm closer to the ground.唯一的线索,这已经超过标准GTI组8阀门被鲜红低于此标志的缀钉、如果你乘皮尺它,你真想觉得离地面10毫米. The really important component though, lay beneath the bonnet.真正重要组成虽然想来的头盖. A cast alloy, thermally hardened 16-valve cylinder head.合金铸造、热硬化16气门缸盖. Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection system helped increase power by more than 24 per cent over the 8-valve.博施钾自动控制燃油喷射系统,增产24%以上的电力由过去的8气门. 139bhp and peak torque of 122lb ft translated into a 129mph top speed an d 60mph in just over seven seconds.139bhp高峰扭矩122lb尺译成了129mph的最高时速60mph只需07秒四. In August 1989, big bumpers arrived, with front fog-lamps and larger side rubbing strips.1989年8月,到达大保险杠、前雾灯、大型一边擦片. Although smoked rear lamp clusters and BBS alloys were fitted, out went electric windows.尽管熏后排灯组和BBS上合金装,来到了电动窗. Power steering was now part of the spec.助力转向现在的部分光谱. January 1990 welcomed the five-door 16-valve.1990年1月5欢迎上门16气门. In November, electric windows reappeared on the spec sheet.11、电动窗重新出现在光谱表. Like the 8-valve, the model was discontinued in February 1992, replaced by the significantly lardier Mk3 car.如8-阀、示范于1992年2月中断,取代了显著lardier瞄车.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫
The Mk 1 cars ?一月队的车? especially the earlier variants ?尤其先前变? will seem extremely firmly sprung and Spartan and even the Mk 2 cars nowadays feel like relics when you sit inside them.现在看来极为牢固,甚至跳出斯巴达队和两辆汽车,当你现在喜欢坐在车内的文物. There are no airbags, pretensioning seat belts, cup holders or air conditioning systems that we take for granted today.有没有气袋、预应力安全带杯持有或空调系统,我们今天想当然. Despite that, they?re all built to last, good to drive and offer solid motoring for not too much money.尽管如此,他们?最后再全部建成,并提供良好的驾驶汽车不固太多金钱.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
Tidy Mk1 Golf GTis are now becoming very collectable and finding a decent one below £3,000 will be tricky.高尔夫大型技术正在成为整洁mk1非常体面和寻找收一英镑以下的3000将会刁钻. The earlier they are, the more they fetch with UK left hand drive models being particularly prized.他们较早,就越有希望夺得英国左手驾驶模式特别珍贵. The Campaign edition is therefore one of the cheapest available variants.运动版是最便宜可变数. Mark II post-1984 Golf prices start at around £800 for a tired eartly 8v car with decent 16v models retailing from around £1,500.马克二专84年高尔夫价格为800英镑左右开始厌倦eartly16v改装车型号零售象样1500英镑左右. This model was imported in far larger numbers than the original car and has yet to see such price inflation.这种模式是远在外地的人数比原来还没有看到这种车价格上涨.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
The Golf GTi has a strong reputation for reliability, but it still has a few areas that need to be checked carefully.高尔夫GTI组具有浓厚的声誉可靠性但仍有少数地方需要加以仔细检查. The Mk 1 car needs a major engine overhaul at around 100,000 miles to have the valve guides, valve springs (1.6 models), and oil seals replaced.一月队大轿车的需求约为10万英里发动机大修有向导阀、阀门弹簧(1.6模式)、油封更换. Otherwise check that there is no corrosion on the wings, door sills, fuel filler neck and fuel lines.否则,没有腐蚀检查的翅膀,门口窗台,颈部及填充燃料的燃料线路.
A good negotiating point is the gearbox.谈判是一个良好的变速箱. It can often feel loose, but this is usually because of worn nylon linkage bushings which can be replaced at minimal cost.可常常感到松散、但这往往是因为穿着尼龙套管挂可以取代代价最少. There may also be an ineffective detent into reverse gear which again is easily and cheaply fixed.也可能是一个无效定位成反向齿轮容易又便宜又是固定的. Check the gaiters on the driveshafts and the steering rack for perishing.皆大欢喜的检查、督导驱动轮轴货架供焉. The interior is generally pretty tough, but the seats can get a little frayed at the edges.内务部通常十分强硬,但也有点磨损的座位在边缘. The Cabriolet versions often have very tatty hoods.cabriolet往往很旧版本的头套.
The Mk 2 has a different set of things to look out for.2队的另一套东西好自为之. Check for damage to locks caused by pry-ins.检查门锁损坏所致刺探静坐. The MK2 Golf is very easy to steal with nothing more technical than a screwdriver, so fit an alarm or an immobiliser.高尔夫球是很容易的MK2在窃取没事更多技术比螺丝防盗报警还是适合做. Wing seams are the prime place for rot so check these out and walk away from any cars with significant rust.机翼接缝是首要这些地点进行检查,以腐烂走出任何重大车锈. There are still plenty of Mk 2 GTIs to choose from.仍然有不少队二月大型技术选择. Check alloy wheels for scuffing and check that the engine idles cleanly.检查验收合金轮子咬死的发动机转角清廉. If not, this could mean a dodgy warm up valve or injector or (in the case of the 16v) a malfunctioning engine management unit ?如果没有,这可能意味着地方法院民事或热身阀或注射器(如<16v)引擎失灵管理单位? replacements are costly.更换费用高昂.
The one major thing to consider is the car?s provenance.一个重大的事情要考虑的就是车?收盘出处. Most GTI?s will now have been through a fair few owners, some of whom may well have abused the car.最GTI组?收盘现在已经透过公平少数业主,其中一些人可能滥用车. Unless it?s your thing, try to avoid cars with obvious aftermarket extras as this tends to damage rather than boost residual values.除非它?收盘贵事尽量避免与汽车售后市场演员,因为这明显趋于增加剩余价值,而非破坏.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
Parts sourced from Volkswagen tend to be very expensive, but log on to the internet and you?ll find a healthy trade in GTi parts amongst like minded souls.来自大众汽车零部件往往是非常昂贵的,但入网的互联网及你?当地找到一个健康的头脑像贸易GTI组零部件之间的灵魂. Various bulletin boards, chatrooms and classified pages specialise in the Golf GTi.各种布告栏、聊天室、分类页专注于高尔夫GTI组. Try kicking off at http://www.golfgti.co.uk and follow a few links.在尝试启动http://www.golfgti.co.uk走几个环节. You?re guaranteed to find what you?re after.你?重新找到你保证?再经过.
ON THE ROAD 在路上
The Golf GTi has been piling on the pounds over the last few decades.高尔夫GTI组已对英镑打桩几十年. The Mk4 Golf is a whopping 48 percent heavier than the original Mk1.mk4高尔夫是高速的48%,比原来mk1较重. All this means that the later cars need much more power just to stay in the same league as the originals.这一切意味着需要更多电力车后留在原联赛刚刚为正本. Despite its 20 valves, turbo and modern electronic engine management, the Mk4 GTi 1.8 Turbo can't match even the earliest humble 1.6 GTi in terms ofpower to weight ratio.尽管20气阀,涡轮发动机和现代电子管理mk4GTI组的比赛8月1日涡轮甚至不能谦虚最早在六月一日GTI组李建华耿建刘晓鹏重量比例. To have the same power to weight ratio as that early car, the modern Mk4 would need 162 bhp, to catch the Mk2 16v, a whopping 180bhp!有同样的权力,为早日重比轿车、现代mk4需162BHP公司、搭上MK2在16v,高速180bhp! With such little mass to haul about, it goes without saying that these early Golfs can change direction with a nimbleness that?s absent from anything but lightweight sports cars of today such as the Lotus Elise.如此大规模地捡了多大,不言而喻,这些早期golfs能够改变方向,以巧妙?收盘缺席害而轻量级体育等车今天叶锡荷花. Grip is strong, handling superb and some even say the replacement Mark III was much the inferior car for the enthusiast driver.握强甚至有人处理精湛更换第三大劣车司机的爱好者.
The Mk II GTi 16v is still a rapid car even by today?s standards.但GTI16v的二队仍在快速连车吗?收盘水准. With a top speed of 129mph and a sprint to 60mph in just 7.3 seconds it?ll show many of today?s hot hatches its cleanly styled rump.以最高时速达129mph及冲刺仅用7月3日至60mph秒?当地许多表演吗?收盘热点舱口其清廉摆开臀.
OVERALL 总体
Many maintain the original is the best.许多维持原来是最好的. Others think that Peugeot possibly inherited Volkswagen?s mantle with the 205 GTi.也有人认为可能是遗传性福士标致?收盘地幔与205GTI组. What?s not up for debate is the Golf GTi?s place in history.什么?收盘未达辩论是高尔夫GTI组?收盘名留青史. Shop around, buy one that?s been unmolested by the Max Power brigade and which comes with a fistful of receipts and a careful previous owner and you should have a useable modern classic on your hands.逛街、买一个?不受阻碍的权力被马克斯收盘旅古巴人是有一定的收益及前一个老板,你要小心了你手中可用的现代经典.
