Clarification

["Paul Krucke" <pkrucke@logistics.calibersys.com>]

     Correct me if I am wrong, although I don't think I am. But I seem many 
     people refering to 82-> Scirocco's as MkII's.
     
     It has always been my understanding that all Rabbit/Jetta ->1984 and 
     ALL Scirocco's are based on the MkI platform.  And technically a 82-> 
     Scirocco should be referred to as a MkI Scirocco II.  Scirocco II 
     being the designator.
     
     Reasoning is that nearly any part from a Rabbit (struts, steering 
     racks) are interchangeable with any model year Scirocco (16v's have 
     exceptions).  In the past the easy way to add rear disk brakes to a 
     Rabbit GTi has been to swap the rear axel with a 16v Scirocco.
     
     Technically an MkII Scirocco should really be a Corrodo, as the MkII 
     cars consist of Golf/Jetta 85-> & Corrodo.
     
     Synonymous with the Mk nomenclature is the A;
     
        MkI     =       A1 (Rabbit/Jetta ->84, all Scirocco)
        MkII    =       A2 (85->92 Golf/Jetta, Corrodo)
        MkIII   =       A3 (cars at the dealer today)
        MkIV    =       A4 (cars at the dealer soon, including
                                new Beetle, Golf <Audi A3>,
                                new Passat <Audi A4>.
     
     
     If I am wrong you may use me as a jack stand for your Scirocco :-)
