 The brake pads I got for my '87 16v were the wrong
kind. It turns out the right ones were the ones listed
for an '86 scirocco. The parts person asked me to look
at the manufacture date inside the driver's side door.
It read December of 1986. Despite the title, which
says '87, the parts person says this is actually a
late model '86. Ever run into this before? I notice
you have an '87 as well. Anyone else out there run
into this? I hate ending up with the wrong
parts...very frustrating.
