Re: 8v timeing belt question

["Chris DeLong" <green536@hotmail.com>]

<x-flowed>It depends on your engine code. What is it? If you have an 8v stock from a 
scirocco then you should have no problems. If however, you have replaced the 
engine with something from an A2 then you could have problems. From my 
recollection the engines with valve collision are code letters : RD, RV, PL, 
9A, PF. Those are the ones that i can think of off the top of my head. HTH
