Minor correction:

1983 started with the 1715 cc engine. Starting with
the then new "Wolfsburg Edition", VW delivered them
with 1784 JH motors. So 1983.5 Sciroccos had the 1.8.

Just for fun, the exact displacement of the motors is
as follows:
1975  1471cc
1976,1977,1979,1980  1588cc
1978  1457cc
1981,1982,1983 (early) 1715cc
1983.5,1984-1988  1781cc

Of course, this is U.S. market only . . .
