What exactly is my car?

[gmcgough]

I just bought a 99 Jetta III, Wolfsburg Edition but I dont really know what it means.

Here is what it does have.
2.0L motor
5sp Manual Tranny
power sunroof
electric windows
cruise control

When I go to the parts store they ask me if it is the GL, GLS or GLX.......but my Jetta is just badged as a Wolfsburg so I dont know what to tell them. The auto parts stores also seem to look at 99 as being a Jetta IV.

Here are my questions.

1. What exactly does the 1999 Jetta Wolfsburg Edition have in terms of options?

2. How do I order parts given the 1999 mid-year model change from the Jetta III to the Jetta IV?

Thanks!

You have an a3 chasis. They were made from 93 to 99 1/2. Then they became the a4. The store should have known that. Do you have leather? The only diff is that the glx is a vR6. The gl and gls are 4 cylinders, but with diff options, like power stuff. You sound like the GLS

I bought the car at an auto auction.......not a VW dealer.

But you didnt answer my questions. I already know its a Jetta III.......but other than the obvious features I listed (2L motor, 5sp, cruise, power windows/sunroof) I have no idea what a Wolfsburg Edition means. And no, it doesnt have leather.

If you go to cars.com and click research and then fill in your car info that will help

What you have is a GL 2.0 base motor prob ABA block.
GLS is the fully loaded jetta with the 4 cylinder. GLX has a 6 cyl motor,
... tHEY MAKE THE JETTA K2, ITS THE 2.0 JUST COMES WITH SKI'S WITH ORIGIONAL BUYER.
THEY ALSO MAKE THE TREK, CAME WITH A BIKE TO ORIGIONAL OWNER.

your car was made in wolfsburg germany. its basically a gls but its not made in mexico it has glx tail lights, a whip antenna and color matched handles and mirrors. im not sure if it has rear disk brakes or if it has a 6 cd changer

Its juat a better trim level as far as i know, like was said, more options, different tails, and a nice little badge on the side, plus a slightly higher resale.
