Maxi Cosi 2way Pearl isize compatible with VW Golf Mark IV(2003)?

Car seat question; has anyone with a Mark IV VW Golf (mine is 2003) found out from Maxi Cosi or VW whether the Maxi Cosi 2 Way Pearl isize seat is safe to use in their car? Our trusted local baby stuff retailer asked us to check with VW that the isofix points are up to the 2008 standard but spoke to VW today and they couldn't give a definitive answer - just said that the isofix points were safe for seats manufactured around 2003...

Mothercare would probably sell me a seat anyway, but our trusted shop are rightly more cautious and would ask us to sign a disclaimer if we haven't got advice from VW that the seat is compatible.

Please help! I can't be the only person with a Golf Mark IV to have asked this question... Can I?

Oh and Maxi Cosi website helpfully says, we're not sure, ask your retailer... Confused.com confused

I didn't know there were any 'standards' for ISOFIX, it's just two metal rings that you either have in your car or you don't! VW were the ones who invented ISOFIX (in conjunction with Britax) so I'm guessing that if your car has ISOFIX the 2way Pearl will fit. The problems usually start when you have underfloor storage compartments in the rear of your car, but I would guess you don't have these.
