Paul Krucke <vwfan53@yahoo.com>: Re: chassis designations - decipher please. (a1,a2,a3..)

[scirocco.gti@juno.com (Mark Peele)]

Not again!

We went through this last year. The only designation "official" VW uses
is A1, A2, A3, etc. I have never seen VW use Mk-anything.

With all due respect, on this list and in the context of this list
(SCIROCCO) we use (and will continue to use) for the sake of keystrokes
MK1 for the 1974-1981 Scirocco (A1 chassis) and MK2 for the 1982-1992
Scirocco (A1 chassis).

So please be nice to Shawn and the rest of us    :)

Ok, the subject with my biggest pet-peeve.  Right Shawn?

The A or Mk [synonyms] designation is generational/CHASIS specific NOT
necessarily 'BODY' specific.

ALL Scirocco's are or A1/MkI designation although a Scirocco body
style change was implemented in 1982->  thus the Scirocco II.  Peter
Vack author of the 'VW Buyers guide' (I blame him) referred the the
Scirocco II as an MkII erroneously.  Also A1/MkI are Rabbit & Jetta's
through 1984 there is some 1/2 year stuff not worth expounding on. 
All most forgot all "Cabriolet's" are A1/MkI's .   See "Cabrio" below.
 So if you own a Scirocco its an A1/MkI in either a SI or SII body
style.  Shawn change your shirts ;-).

A2/MkII are Golf's, Jetta's from 1985 thru 1992 and Corrado for its
entire life cycle.

A3/MkIII are Golf, Jetta's beginning in 1993 thru 1997  "Cabrio" note
spelling also fit in here.

A4/MkIV should be appearing ata dealer near you begging w/1998.

Passats have their own generations as well.

ITS NOT AN MKII D%$# IT!!!!!
