Does the golf & jsw have different tan interior colors?

Does the golf & jsw have different tan interior color? I forget VWs off the wall color name. How about throwing in mkIV against mkVI differences?

I thought all the Mk6 Golfs were Titan black cloth and the JSW was the vehicle that offered the Cornsilk beige leatherette interior.

I made a quick ebay purchase based on the pictures. Great deal and condition so Im good with it. Ill just use them until I find the right set then put them in the pickup.:-\ To be clear they are mkIV Golf going in mk VI JSW. The Golf IV, V, VI seem to be the same size but cornsilk??? I wonder if Passat or any other model year has crossover?

They are mk4 gulf. Is cornsilk unique to 11 thru 14 JSW?

It might be. Looks like the visor color you have is the same visor color on my black cloth interior Mk6 Golf.

For the 1000th time, there is no such thing as an A6 platform wagon. They are A5s, right up through the 2014 model year. They got a facelift to make them "look" like an A6, but they are most certainly an A5.

The A6 is not a radically different platform, however, and still uses a lot of the same parts as the A5. But many items, including things like sun visors, may indeed be slightly different. So if looking for pieces and parts for a 2009-14 wagon, you need to know that it is still 90% carryover A5 platform car.

Just like a 2002 Cabrio, despite features making it look like an A4 Golf, is still very much an A3.

In any event, checking the part number is the best way to know. In the case of the above mentioned visors, even with the same color code 4T6 Cornsilk Beige, they still use a different part number suffix. But clearly the white one is ZF4 Pearl Gray. And for reasons only Volkswagen knows, the cars with beige interiors got beige visors, headliners, courtesy light trim, etc., but cars with black, gray, anthracite interiors all got the light gray visors, headliners, etc. Been that way for decades now, on most models.

BTW, you start to learn the differences and similarities when you are always viewing them from the insides out:



This is my Friday.

Im not sure what the a6-a5 thing is about but the input on the color combos will be a great help. Ive got a lot of respect in your willingness to share your vast VW knowledge with the VW community.
wonder how much effort it would be to take the homelink out of the grey mk4 and cut it into the beige mk6?

A segment VAG vehicles:

A1 Golf, Typ 17, (sold here as the Rabbit) went from 1975 through 1984 for us (it came out in '74 in Europe, and was still being built in South Africa until around 2003... also continued for us in convertible form, renamed Cabriolet in '85, through 1993). The first generation Jetta was a sedan version of this car, came out in '81 for us, through 1984.

A2 Golf, Typ 19, along with the Jetta version, came out for us in '85, and continued through 1992.

A3 Golf and Jetta, Typ 1H, came out in 1993, but we didn't get any until 1994. Went through the first have of the 1999 model year. The convertible Golf, renamed Cabrio in '95, ran on this platform until the end in 2002.

A4 Golf and Jetta, Typ 1J, came to us for the latter half of the 1999 model year. Jetta remained on this platform in sedan version until middle 2005. Golf remained on this platform through 2006. This period also got us a wagon version, badged and trimmed as a Jetta, from 2001-05 (Canada got the wagon for the 2006 model year, too).

A5 Golf, Typ 1K, which came out for us in 2007 was once again renamed Rabbit. The Jetta sedan remained a sedan version of a Golf through 2010. The wagon remained on this platform through 2014.

A6 Golf, Typ 5K, once again called a Golf for us, came along in 2010. Continued though 2014.

A7 Golf, Typ 5Q, came along in 2015, and will be the last Golf we will likely get.

The Jetta SEDAN went from a "Golf with a trunk" shared platform to its own platform, code named NCS (New Compact Sedan) in 2011, and carried that way through 2018. While the Golf in hatchback and wagon trim, however they were named, continued along their merry way, the NCS is a completely different car. It is a Typ 5C, and is what the Beetle uses as its underpinnings upon returning in 2012 (the 1998- New Beetle is on the A4 platform).

There is a new 7th generation Jetta sedan that came out in 2019, but it came along post Dieselgate, so no diesel versions are available for us, so we don't hear much about them here. But it is different yet.

Much of the newer cars in the A segment are all based on the MQB arrangement, so they share a lot of parts as well as some major components like engines and transmissions.

Note: the "Typ" codes (Type) are carried over to the part numbering system VAG has been using since anyone reading this was probably alive. Those two digits start off many part numbers and can at least give a clue as to the fitment of the part. But VAG will often use a part on various cars, so a car that is a 1K may have a part that is 3C or something. Engines and transmissions (and in some cases differentials) can have their own part number prefix.

Being familiar with Fords ultra simple numbering system makes VAG either brilliant or bumbling fools. lol
