How can you tell without measuring it?
'84 Sciroccos came with 90 mm axles, and the '86 came with 100 mm axles.

The CV spline shaft is the same size, the CV's are bigger... 
They both use the same hub, and the splines that the outer CV fit into
are on the hub, it's the hub carrier that's different.

100 mm...

WTF is right, they don't know what they're doing... 

It must have been the driver's side axle that you were working on, since
the A2 GTI/GLi and late model A2's driver's side axles are the same as
the '85 and up A1's driver's side axle.
