Re: US vs. EURO 1.8 16V (123hp/139hp)?????

[Mike VanAmburgh <vwvr6r@fiber.net>]

I could be wrong but I believe the 1.8 16V was 129 ps in the Roccos. 
Then later on starting approximately in 90 I believe they started
putting in 2.0 16V, which is why the power jumped to 139ps.  Hopefully
our European buddies can clarify this for us, because I've always
wondered myself if the 139ps was because of a 2.0.
