Yeah, I was looking at that... the one with the engine crossed out is
probably the Check Engine light... or maybe it's the "engine missing"
light!

Sure looks like it. Could be OBD1, or Euro OBD[1|2], or even something
unique to SA or just VWSA.

Yeah, the whole dash face looks like it's a different shape. Generally
flat all the way down, instead of curled under like ours. More room
for the glove box door, leaving the space under for additional
storage. Also that wacky knob arrangement for the ventilation! Left
knob, fan speed, middle hot/cold, and right... who knows? It must
control both defrost and footwell outlets, but I can't imagine how.
Indeed a Rube Goldberg device.

What I wouldn't give for a nice SA model. I really like those bigger windows.

Thanks for the pics Raimund!
