@Otti..

Year 1974 and 1975 (till mai/june 1975) the tail looked like this.
http://www.reid.org/~dreid/Swallowtail/Owners/Christian_Dufour/christian_rear.jpg

The 'swallow' is about 2 cm deep and round edges.

Below you see a swallowtail from 'late'1975

There is the 'swallow' about 1 cm deep.

OK, you are knowing now that your car was built in 1975, but when you write the VIN number of it here (http://www.golf1-ig.de/golf/facts/vin_analysis/index.php) (after writing the VIN, push on the button "Analysieren") you can even see in which month.

Btw. the airfilterbox on your engine isn´t the original on a car from that year, on the pic. below you can see an original box.

This car´s first registration ( i know, your car) was June 1975, so it was built in May/June 1975 or even earlier...

@Typ17...the airbox is correct for a 'late' 75 swallowtail..

Here is an other late swallowtail

Ah, OK, didn't now that when they exactly changed the airbox in production, sorry to the topic-starter.

Car and engine with airbox on right side on my pic. is from dec. 1974 (first registration).
