Not sure of you are talking about a Jetta in Europe, but the Scirocco was
the first introduced with the 16V, although GTI's and Jetta's got them later
that year.  No 1985 car had a 16V engine from the factory in 1985 in the
United States.  Unless of course you are looking at a build date tag which
is in the second half of the year (8/1985).  That would be a 1986 car.
