Re: cis questions..ok i'm the dumbass

I just was told ..it's a GLI not a regular..so it's got the 100hp
engine in it. however the Chiltons says cis, but it's got an oxys 
sensor and i believe a knock sensor as there is a sticker on the hood 
with a carbon canister diagram and one of the lines is labeled 'to 
knock control' Could this be a cis-e?  It looks a lot like my 
Scirocco 8v. I sent him to the dealership to confirm exactly what 
fuel system he has in it but it's definitely an RD block.
