A2 100 mm vs 90 mm.

[drew <drew@dyermaker.cs.uoguelph.ca>]

100 mm joints actually didn't come into really general use on the A2
platform until digifant rolled around.  Prior to that, most regular trim
85/90 horse Golfs and Jettas used 90 mm flanges.  Of course, diesels used
90mm flanges right through.

A2 GTI's and GLI's used 100mm flanges from 85.
