dont think so the mk4 is a far superiorly designed car and it would be offended to have parts from such a forgotten car..

Different engine type, gearboxes are also different.

8 valve isnt an engine type, just how many inlets and outlets there are in total. You could have a 1.2 litre car with 8/16v but obv has a smaller engine (never mind shape and bolt on stuff) than a 2 litre 8v, what you really need is to be asking about engine codes, not the spec of the engine
