This hasn't been my experience - FWIW I've seen more '86.5
Scirocco 16vs with the 160 than any other.  It basically
boiled down to what was in the parts bin on the day the car
was built.

But only on the 16v.

To clarify, the standard 16v seats were the cloth with
vinyl bolsters, leather being an option.  The 8v had cloth
all-over seats standard.  I think leather was offered as an
option, at least early on.  Leather was standard on the '83
Wolfsburgs.
