Yes, Most Cabriolets do have Power Steering, but there are a few that don't. In my opinion you dont need it anyway. It is such a light little car. I took my power steering out of my '86 Cabriolet and installed a manual rack, because it was cheaper. The P.S. pump alone runs about $200 and the rack runs about another $150. I bought a new manual rack for $105. It steers very easily even when sitting still.
On a 1988 Volkswagen Cabriolet, the power steering fluid reservoir is typically located near the driver's side of the engine compartment, close to the firewall. The reservoir is usually a small, translucent container labeled for power steering fluid. To add fluid, simply unscrew the cap and pour in the appropriate power steering fluid until it reaches the recommended level marked on the reservoir. Always check the owner's manual for specific instructions and fluid specifications.
You can find the complete wiring diagram for the Power convertible top Mk1 Golf cabriolet in a Volkswagen Service Manual called "Volkswagen,Cabriolet & Scirocco" 1985-1993 by Robert Bently. There are drawings & illustrations on how to service the bi-directional electric motor and pump unit.
My F-Reg Golf Mk II has Power Steering.
The 1985 Volkswagen Golf with both the 1.6L L4 diesel and 1.8 L4 gasoline were offered with power steering. Both models list power steering pumps replacement parts as being available.
Yes that model should have power steering. Hope this helps, B Paice

A 2000 VW Cabrio takes power steering fluid as advised directly by VW. It was difficult to put in, I had to use a straw and small funnel, adding a little bit at a time.
