Unfortunately, the CD-Roms are all set up this way, and they did not have Mk1 
Roccos on there at all, except for the body of course.  However, on the fiche, 
they do not repeat information...  Scirocco info is scirocco info, Jetta is 
Jetta, etc...  Again, I may be pounding the post-mortem palomino here, but 
this is what I have experienced...
