Dirk, 

I was just looking at an image of a 1984 Scirocco GTX and starting
thinking about your car.

Did your '83 come with the 112bhp motor? (1.8l with 10:1 compression)

I noticed your car has two wipers - In the US '83 models had one wiper -
could that be because of the US practice of calling all cars manufactured
after August  the next year's model year (for example, a car with a build
date of 10/93 would be a US 1984 Model).

Kristen's car came with a 1471 cc 71 HP motor, the '82 came with a 1715cc
74 hp motor. We in the US did not see the "GTI" cylinder head until the
JH motor - therefore, all the 1975-1983 1.5,1.6, and 1.7 liter US engines
had the smaller valves (33mm vs 40mm on "GTI" heads).


Curiously yours,
