Re: 8V's as opposed to 16V's

According to ETKA, the scirocco got the euro KR engine from 10/85 onwards with the golf/jetta getting it from  02/86.  The PL engine that you get Stateside was also introduced in the scirocco and others from 02/86.

Are you SURE about that??  That flies in the face of everything I've heard
and read in the past... i.e. that the 'roc got it first.
