    Golf GTi-whats this engine?

    Picking this up next week-it belonged to a friend who took his own life recently and i've bought it to keep in his memory. Its had an engine change to i believe a 2 litre Passat motor-can anyone shed any light as to what type it is please i have absolutely no idea about Golf's as of yet. Its an early '84 mk2 and am planning a sympathetic resto with maybe an engine swap or tweaks not sure yet. Thanks for any info.

    Injection sytem looks like the original GTI at least, look får an engine code, either on a sticker on them timing belt cover or stamped on the block, I think below the water outlet. Usually two digits 2E or RP or something like that followed by a serial number, but the two, or three digits on later models tells You what engine it is?

    The early 1.8 Dx engine with the solid lifters is the best one to have, they found their way into some early Mk2's, all round good engines, torquey!

    Apparently this is from a Scirocco?
