"Paul Krucke" <pkrucke@logistics.calibersys.com>: Clarification
Yeah, all Sciroccos are A1 chassis, but it seems logical to differentiate
the two distinct body styles as Mk1 (1974-1981) and Mk2 (1982-1992)
don't it?

Scirocco 1982, 1980S (dying), 1981S (RIP), previously 1975TS, 1975

Correct me if I am wrong, although I don't think I am. But I seem
many
people refering to 82-> Scirocco's as MkII's.
It has always been my understanding that all Rabbit/Jetta ->1984 and
ALL Scirocco's are based on the MkI platform. And technically a
82->
Scirocco should be referred to as a MkI Scirocco II. Scirocco II
being the designator.
Reasoning is that nearly any part from a Rabbit (struts, steering
racks) are interchangeable with any model year Scirocco (16v's have
exceptions). In the past the easy way to add rear disk brakes to a
Rabbit GTi has been to swap the rear axel with a 16v Scirocco.
Technically an MkII Scirocco should really be a Corrodo, as the MkII
cars consist of Golf/Jetta 85-> & Corrodo.
Synonymous with the Mk nomenclature is the A;
MkI = A1 (Rabbit/Jetta ->84, all Scirocco)
MkII = A2 (85->92 Golf/Jetta, Corrodo)
MkIII = A3 (cars at the dealer today)
MkIV = A4 (cars at the dealer soon, including
new Beetle, Golf <Audi A3>,
new Passat <Audi A4>.
If I am wrong you may use me as a jack stand for your Scirocco :-)
