The Audi 80 had the 2L bubble block from like 89-92 I think...it was an 8v. 
The GTI/GLI 16v came with a 2L as well...that was from 90-92. The ABA 2L came 
in the crossflow Golfs and Jettas from 93-95, but was replaced by something 
else in 96 for the OBD2 emissions system. The engine used from 96-99.5 is 
better than the one used from 93-95 in some respects. Supposedly the flow of 
the head was better, although it came with single valve springs instead of 
the duals. Compression was also higher....no doubt to compensate for the OBD2 
system choking the life out of the engine. Both these engines were tall 
blocks (the block is 16mm's taller) using longer rods (159mm) instead of the 
shorter (144mm) rods used in the 1.8's (except G60) and 2L bubble blocks
