Yup, I dont know the specifics as to when they were used on the Scirocco 
but the cluster I got from an 84 Sciroco (with the 120 mph spedo) has the 
Motometer in it. I didnt even notice it until the Potterman pointed it out
 to me. So I gotta swap the other tack into it so I will have an all VDO 
system. Then I will be cool.
I dunno, the Motometer works just as good as the VDO. Looks the same 
too....

You can call the dealer and see when the last time it was serviced if at 
all. (Give them your VIN #) 
or, you can remove the spedo cluster and check the spedo itself. There are 
certain items that have a locking device that once you remove it, cant be 
put back on. I think its a wire locking type device. I dont recall for s
ure. You will have to remove the spedo and open the box. The item in 
question is where the mileage numbers are located. 
HTH!
